Was anybody else watching thru the rockers section on Saturday ?

Just below the BIG-ASS Tabletop thingey...?

During Saturday's practice, Paulin (#4) came out of the corner slow then took his 450

through the rollers like he was on his BMX bike on a pump-track.

There was a HUGE " DID THAT JUST HAPPEN ?" from the crowd along the fence.

and we remained perplexed, mesmerized and discombobulated until the next beer.

That kid blew us away with that schnizzle. One of MANY GOLDEN MXDN moments.

Gautier is a former BMX World Champ.

Maybe this explains that ??

According to some in the know, he was a former European BMX champ and went from

novice MX'er to top pro in three short years (?) - a pack of Brits with the Union-Jack

wrapped around them and cheap-beer-breath told me that....

He is on the wrong bike in the GPs. He needs to ditch the 250 for sure! Awesome 450 rider!

He was at the autograph signing on Saturday night and was sitting next toClemente DeSalle. DeSalle kept f&cking with his posters adding smiley faces and horns on Paulins face and head. He was being a pretty good sport about it though and laughing it off. It was pretty cool to see competitors joke around like that.

The AGV that Gautier, Davi, Philippaerts, TP are wearing is called the AX-8 and will be for sale through your Parts Unlimited dealers and agv.com starting mid-October.

Most of the sizes have arrived in the US but we are waiting for the full size run to release them.

It's a carbon/kevlar/fiber shell.

Word, I wish my BMX dirt-jumping son Tommy was there to see it - it was a jaw-

dropping, eye-blowing masterpiece of OOOOH-LALA.

After Roczen performance I would stay away from the mX2 class. GP21 is just an awesome 450 rider and his a big dude!
