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...

yes the prognosis wasn't as bad as I first thought. It's not a fracture, more lika a "crack"? And it wasn't the big bone but the small one. He thinks he can ride Red Bud and he also got through all of Budds Creek since the injury came in first practise. He got an injection by the doctors at the...

regarding the thread you started about Emig bashing on the gp's...brave attempt to discuss with morons and I admire your patience. Judging by the results of Fredrik/Calle I would say it's easier/less hard to make 10-15th in the nationals. In the Gp's they'll would be fighting against Guarneri/Simpson/Leok/Barragan/Strijbos/Boissierre. I don't think they have progressed so much since 2010 to be...

In Lommel I can see Belgium giving them a run for the spot. I Think Desalle, De Dycker and Van Horebeek/Roelants is hard to beat. Cairoli, DP19 and Lupino can do okay. Herlings, Coldenhoff, De Reuver, Roczen, Nagl, Schiffer Frossard, Paulin, Pourcel/Boog I think it will be exciting in both France and Lommel. It's a new race every year and...

6/17/2011 1:27am
The only thing certain in mx is that you will get hurt, and you will loose money. If I was really rich I would do lot's of crazy stuff just for fun. If starting a team was one of them CP377 would be really high on my wishlist. I would however force him to ride a twostroke. Hell, I could...

I wish he did actually. I work with pr in motocross, and people who are open and tell their side even when they failed are rarely disliked. It's much worse when the speculation gets started. You have to work pretty hard to build a good reputation and fanbase, but it can easily turn on you if you are silent.

themrtoad Added a reply to BT101 Leaves the GPs

6/12/2011 1:30pm
I'm also starting to see the end of BT's fantastic but too short career. I know the word scared is a bit overkill but he seems to think very much about his health. When you start to worry too much it's hard to be competitive and BT isn't in this to finish 10-15th. I hope he succeeds regardless of what...

That sounds like an injury that will make Nagls season pretty difficult. Hopefully they can make him some special protection that can keep it in place, but the pain must be tough to handle.

I do the PR for Aspegren. He is a really down to earth guy with a good work ethic it seems. Aspegren and Norén is the best we have at the moment and I'm happy they are doing so well. I also think they can improve a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see some 10-15th results in the near...

isn't this just yet another problem for our beloved fourstrokes? Thank you everyone for the development in our sport. Before= lot's of bikes and lower noise Today= few bikes terrible noise Good we got the noise issue fixed or not?

where can one see the entry lists? Or is it still topsecret in your top of the notch championship? Imagine MotoGP or F1 and it was still a secret to the public who was riding or not just a few days ahead... This is not my picture of a professionell serie. The GP's are a joke in many ways as...

The sport is not big enough for two outdoor series that claim to be No 1. Bikesale is a disaster, fourstrokes doesn't make it better... Let's just embrace the idea of one serie of SX, and one serie for outdoors. Maybe then it could be on TV in both the US and rest of the world. Could pay the riders...

I can see an amateur riding a 450 really long if he does the services now and then, but that wasn't the point of this thread. I think the racing is less exciting on 4strokes. They do things that couldn't be done on a twostroke, but it still looks easy. I admired Everts record on the Yamaha 450, but I...
