Hey guys,

I just wanted to get on here and update everyone on my trip over to Australia for the final round in Brisbane. First of all I really want to thank Derrick, Jay, and Trish Rynenberg(Owners of the team)Andy Cunningham, Ash Simpson, Danny, my mechanic for the weekend Craig Behl and everyone else involved with the JDR Motorsports/MxRad team. They are a top notch team and have a great atmosphere around the pits. For these guys to come out like that and get the results they have in their first year is great. We need more people like them in the sport. I also want to thank all the fans that showed up to the Brisbane round, they are the ones that are helping build the sport over there. Everyone in Australia is so nice and respectful and I can't wait to go back over there.

It was a great experience for me to go over there and race with Australia's top riders like Jay Marmont, Dan Reardon, Tye Simmonds, Daniel McCoy, and the rest of the guys. It was nice to see Davi and Josh show up to race with the guys as well, that shows how the sport is growing over there. I can see a lot more people going over there in the years to come. I just read Jay's interview on RacerX and I won't lie, it felt good to see that he had even mentioned me in the interview and said he enjoyed racing myself and the rest of the field Smile. I have a lot of respect for Jay and what he has done this year, I know it was tough for him to continue the series and he came out and still killed it!

I have some very exciting news that I will be able to talk about in the next few days, I am just going to wait and let the ink go onto the paper before I start talking about it!

good stuff PJ. We made the trip up to Brisbane and it's cool to see more and more US riders making the trip. It's pretty surreal to see riders that we've only seen on the screen, it's so much better in real life. Hope to see more come down next year!

Thanks for all the support guys!

SixEight, the competition was great! I wish I could have had a few good starts and gotten up there to battle with the top guys more but I had a pretty good race with Marmont the third race so that was fun.

Personally I think it's cool.
Opportunities such as this & the 1
Cunningham had don't come along daily.
Some of the best riders & mechanics have
come up from down under as they say & believe
me they always seem to hold their own!
Funny, had a chat or 2 with PJ before he went down
there, & boy was he pumped to give it a go!
Now, he's back & sounds equally as pumped!
Moral to the story.......Good rides can come from anywhere,
so when the bus pulls up, get on it!

Thanks for the report.

I didn't see what place you got ?

thanks for coming PJ...Smile

american SX really needs a strong "feeder" series like the one in OZ....hopefully the euros will get a proper series going as well.
