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...

Less HP in a dyno doesn't always mean slower laptimes. As long as they stay above a certain amount of torque and hp, they think it doesn't matter and the good sides of a 350 makes up for it. On a high altitude they are afraid that the torque and hp will be so low that they will be at...

I have no info on this. I guess on sea level with a really rutted and bumpy track you can go as fast or even faster with less hp/torque/weight and therefore the 350 is their choice. If they believe they will face something that's almost the opposite of that, the 450 may be the better choice. I don't see the...

Yeah and my dad is stronger than your dad... You don't knw what kind of information I have about MX. I attacked your idol LB because he claimed he could tell the difference in cc from a video on internet. If he knows so much about engines that was a stupid thing to say. I didn't comment on his side...

Do you make engine diagnosis by phone as well??? How the h-ll can you tell the size of Cairolis engine by watching a video? Just listening to someones voice on video/phone/irl makes a huge difference. I've seen and heard his bike irl and it sounds very different from the 450's. I could however not tell that differnce by watching a...

themrtoad Added a reply to Albertson fired. Townley in?

8/21/2010 12:16am
Good if Ben comes back. He will be a title contender of course, which Albertsson wasn't. I hope we can have some faster american racing the gp's 2011 instead of Albertsson. I would love to see a MX1-rider with Osbournes capacity go at it. Hopefully it will happen. Maybe JS7 wants to take his realityshow worldwide...lol

8/19/2010 12:25am
they have done like that a few times actually. Forgot to send the papers, and forgot to tell the rider who travelled at their own cost 3500km. I could go on forever about all the stupid things Svemo done. What makes it even worse is that they are a pretty rich federation. The lost SEK10milj when things went wrong with...

If Sweden will see a new international toprider we need someone who has all the pieces together. 1: Talent 2: Financial possibilty 3: Desire to do whatever it takes 4: A bit of luck with injuries We've seen some guys who had 2 or 3 out of those 4, but that's just not enough. We could go on forever discussing...

Our MX2-class isn't as exciting as your Lites. There aren't 7 riders cabale of winning just two or three really. Those three riders are pretty fast though. The best three riders in MX2 would add three more potential winners if they did the Lites in the US. Hopefully they combine the series some day in the future. This is stupid...

I agree he is americas best rider right now. I'm just not used to americas best rider not being insane fast like RC and JS7 in their prime days and also RV. Doing SX on 450's have hurt the depth in the 450 class for motocross. It's just not that impressive as it used to be. This makes mxdn less...

In his defense he hasn't said Sweden will do good. He seems pretty angry against swedish mx as well and partically Svemo (which is like the AMA of Sweden but more like an evil cousin to FMI, the Italian federation) Our riders suck and we shouldn't send a team at all really. But there are a few guys at Svemo...

I've read somewhere a while ago that in some pro leagues in the US they only conduct tests for party drugs like Cocaine etc. Maybe complete bullshit. Is this correct for NFL,NBA,NHL, AMA ?

I remember seeing Townley in good shape riding his ass off trying to catch RC at Ernée 2005. BT finally had to give up but RC seemed like he could go that pace forever. In my opinion Townley had the better riding style, and RC looked like RC usually does being all over the place but still in control and...

If Paulin goes MX1 will they hire another rider to go for the title in MX2? I don't think Osbourne is fast enough and Charlier and Kullas aren't ready for such a challenge either. Do you think Seb Pourcel can bounce back and become a frontrunner again? What kind of support can HDI get? (suspension, weight etc) Any ideas where...

Seb Pourcel's dad is who runs that kawi team? Is that the same KAwi team Chris rode for when he was in Europe as well? Pretty much yeah. It was called something else back then (GPKR?) but their dad was on of the two bosses back then too.

I fail somehow when I try to copy the translated version. Find the article on Motoverte and copy the url to google transle. That makes it a lot easier =)

Thanks Shenzi. That answered a lot of questions actually. But also made a few new ones pop up =) The article translated below Summer is conducive to the announcements of teams and you start to get an idea of the plateau in 2011, although there is still a lot of unknowns to be lifted. Petit tour d'horizon à la veille...
