About Me

I used to ride but had to quit some 8 yearsago when i hurtmy knee pretty bad. I started working with mx back then insted, and still do this running my own company.

I love 2strokes, prefere motocross over sx, so I'm pretty oldschool i guess.

My favourite riders are Mickael Pichon and Christophe Pourcel.

I'm 33years old, married, two kids and not enough time/money to buy a bike just for fun.

BTW... I think 4strokes are the root to all things evil in our sport. They are expensive, sound ugly, makes the racing less demanding etc. I could go on 4ever. I hate them...

That's why it was an excellent interview. It's not the media's job to blow their subjects. They're supposed to ask tough questions. The trouble is in moto - unlike most other domains - the subjects (teams and riders) think it's okay to blacklist anyone who encroaches on their safe spaces. Of course some moto 'journalists' would continue deepthroating even if this wasn't the case. I'm looking at you Swap.

Paddock presence is greater than track presence with GP’s Edit: I must admit MXGP-TV is really good

Most of people knew beforehand that that the track was shitty (lots of social media discussion about the track building) for viewing and the fastest Finnish riders weren't even riding there. Plus the expensive tickets so it was an easy choice to stay home or head to nearest beach instead.

Thank you for the kind words. But I was just trying to live the moto dream, moved to the US to give Supercross a go. And later Italy to race the Italian championship. It didn’t work out. But the memories stay with me forever. Glen Helen Invitational 1999. I’m old 🤣

I had higher hopes Finland could deliver a decent gp. They failed on pretty much every point. Track✅ Wildcard riders ✅ Visitors ✅ At least they were lucky with the weather. I know there’s a huge interest for motorsport in Finland so I’m actually quite surprised how bad the event turned out! Any input from out members from Finland?

Was on site watching. Kinda regret spending (too much) money on the ticket now, only redeeming factor being that I got to spend the day with a friend. Going to just list why: - Amount of GP/MX2 participants a joke - Track environment not pleasing to the eye at all - Event arrangements seemed sloppy all around - Rules seemed to prohibit spectators from bringing anything of their own to drink. It wasn't enforced on me as I got to bring a few bottles of water. Others said they weren't allowed even that. And it was sunny, 29 celsius /...

Checked the track today and it’s going to be fast and slippery especially in the early practices. I predict many tipovers through the weekend.

If you have access to one and someplace to try this out take something like an XR250 out in a field and lay out a course with some ribbon. No (or minimal) jumps, just a fun easy to ride track. Obviously the bike has worlds less suspension and power and this is gonna seem really lame but ride for about 1/2 hour. I'll bet anything you have a bigger smile on your face than you've had on any modern bike in years, and if you have friends there it'll quickly turn into who can spin the fastest lap. This is...

What sort of shit kicker is canning Herlings, the man is a GOD in our sport. Yes, his internal structure may not be as solid as other racers, but hell, what a great athlete and showman he's been. European racing is not the same without him on the gate. A man whom is in the unique position that can speak his mind, where others are locked into corporate puppetry, Jeffrey will say what's on his mind, and totally get away with it. We're missing this in our sport. Get well soon Mr Herlings, can't want to see the great man...

In 10-15 years ago we had a couple of deaths during the summer here in Sweden. After that we raised the age for being able to go pro from 15 to 17 I think it was and pushed hard for a class called 125 U17. We don’t run superminis in Europe so we ride 85’s and the next step is 125. We had a class called 125U (U stands for ungdom that is the Swedish word for youth) that riders between 14-16 could run. And that worked fine until 2004 when Honda/Kawi/Suzuki released their 250fs and our sanction body re-named...

Per Big Lew Guillod is also in for round 1 on a stock YZF. Man I hope he has one of his good days and just crushes it. There have probably been better years to come in and get a good result than now with a complete field. But he's fast. Hope the trip pays off for him. Sounds like he's looking for a deal on either side of the pond
