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...

I'm with you on that one. Can't we at least go by actual results when we benchrace. With that said I think it's hard to decide how fast they were going in MX2-GP last year. The class found two new heroes that totally dominated in Musquin and Roczen, but it was an open field after Pourcel and Cairoli left. I...

The OEM are not in this together with a secret agenda, they are all in it to make money. As its is now KTM are steeling buyers from the Japs. Supply and demand should always dictate the market and one shall not mess with that. We didn't have a big need for more technicalla advanced bikes when they forced fourstrokes...

I think it will happen anyway sooner or later. When sales drops there won't be room for 4 big companys from japan. Some will have to quit or they all have to start making cheaper bikes to keep their clients and to maintain a future market where you don't have to be rich to race mx. BTW they should get...

I was a pain in the ass to Youthstream to make them answer that one for a while. I did send a lot of emails, but they claimed they never said anything like that ever. I then emailed the article where they said this, and got the answer that there are no such plan anymore. The rules will be changed...

That's me, when I have time to spare I love to write artcles about things regarding our sport but not the usual reports from different races. I feel this is an important issue, and companys like Honda should not let pride stand in the way of the right decision. So they misjudged the market for hightech fourstrokes as dirtbikes. Do...

We already pay almost 3 dollars for 1000cl of gas Not familiar with gallons etc...) A new bike costs about 15000dollars A normal income is around 5000dollars a month. I think we are getting close to the limit of motocross being eliminated as a "peoples sport" which makes me really sad and upset. As you know if you managed to...

Aranda always does really well i France, when will he bring it into the GP's? It seems like he stepped it up a bit last year, and perhaps even more so this year as he rode good all winter in SX in Europe and USA. Is he a rider that is more motivated when racing on home soil? I've been...

Shit I didn't get many facts right there...LOL Have patience my friend and time will perhap give me right, or prove me wrong over and over again. I must admit i totally forgot about Tanel Leok, and since he is built like a tanker he will probably not get hurt so he should be right up there between 4th-8th? The...

3/8/2010 3:44am
The only team that may give USA a run for their money might be France or Italy. Both the Pourcels are genious on a dirtbike, and Musquin is also very good. I have a feeling Chris isn't to interested in racing a event sanctionen by Luongo but hopefully I'm wrong. Italy have two really good riders, but that's still one...

Here's my view on the top 3 in each class. MX1 1) Philippaerts 2) Ramon 3) Desalle KTM never won MX1/250-class and they won't this year either. Some bad luck will strike Cairoli who of course is the best rider. Maybe lot's of DNF's or injuries. Nagl will struggle if he lost his patentated holeshot ability. De dycker will win...

themrtoad Added a reply to AMA should let 250 2 Stroke in Lites Class

3/4/2010 4:02am
Yes they should. More twostrokes to the people means more active riders in the sport which means more helmest sold which means more money for everyone. Did I mention that they sound nicer and lower, which means more places to ride for everybody. Or we could go on with bangers and turn it into F1...

themrtoad Added a reply to Oldskool look: YZ125 'GP-replica'

3/4/2010 3:54am
That's a beautiful bike, and since it's a twostroke it's well invested money. A 125 is by far the bike with the highest funfactor. If i win the lottery I'll by one 125, one 250 2stroke and one openclass twostroke. I think the style you're in search for proves you have a good taste, or maybe it's just because we...
