LATEST

Our second week in europe saw us in rome working with team Decarly Racing ....this seems to be very good for Mike since we had some time to do bike set up for european condtions( wet ,cold rainey ,muddy ,and deep wet sand ) while at the same time ,take more time to heal up an injured shoulder ,and spend time with world champ Tony Cairoli and Jill .

COMP

In deep wet sand ,the european riders are un real ..how they ride this condition is a site to see,the Belgains and TC are among the worlds best ! these sand tracks on the beaches of the mediteranian make southwick seem like a pit bike track ...and that is no exageration !!!!

MEDLEY

we hope to be ready for valence this weekend ,i hope the fans will understand the meaning of a scapula injury ,mike is trying hard to work thru this set back and race before we return to california on feb 22.


LIFES A BEACH : Due in part to very wet ,rainey ,and cold conditions,daily mx training is done on the beaches of the Mediteranian sea..
ROME: Can you think of a better place on earth to spend valaintines day ?

Is Tony ever going to get a spell checker?

How about a punctuation lesson?

Hope he heals up for the weekend anyway. Tough conditions to be nursing an injury.

That track looks fun, the deeper the sand the better in my eyes.

I remember a real nice track a few hours south of where I used to stay. Think it was nr Mackay. They might run a National there now. Not Belgian sand but still got pretty rough.

That track doesnt look so bad, it looks like a sand pit i used to ride at.

Im sure other tracks are much worse though.

I have no idea, but it is comical at best. It really isn't that hard to either make a decent attempt at spelling or use a checker. A few mistakes here and there, whatever, but the "official" news letter could have some effort thrown at it!

Bit of Aussie sand track nostalgia.

The place where possibly the greatest mx photo of all time was taken. I remember coming home from school one day, opening up my new magazine (MXA or Dirt Rider I think) and just staring at this photo for about 30 minutes

It would lose its charm if it were that straightforward. The train-of-thought format makes the updates more interesting than the bland and average rider web contributions.

Judging by the title of this thread, I thought maybe Alessi had moved to Florida to train at Carmichael's.

With helping Dungey, commentating at SX and racing trucks, I was wondering where RC would find time.
