Tranceport was great... Oakenfold was a beast on turntables. I got to open for him for a show at the old Nations club in 2003 in DC. But standing back and watching him and seen him work 10 Technic 1200's and have them all playing at one time. Totally amazing.

Wow, that's pretty epic!! I'm 33 now, but I remember sneaking out of the house (the night before a final exam in High School) when Paul came here to Charlotte to a small club back in 2001 or so. In college back in 2006, I studied abroad in Germany for a few months. Two highlights of that were 1) Attending the GP race the infamous Namur circuit, and 2) attending the Berlin Love Parade. 1.2 MILLION people dancing in the streets of Berlin, with 18 tractor trailers converted into rolling DJ booths creeping through the streets. Talk about experiences I'll never forget..

If you wake up at 6am to watch MXDN is that a good excuse to have a beer? Or is it too early?

Really proud of the Americans in that first moto! I honestly didn't see it going that good but Webb continues to show his ability to keep moving forward and Alex Martin starting outside the top 20 to get back to 9th is just blowing my mind!

I say this because I raced this track and I know it's insanely different then our tracks in the states. The pictures and video do no justice, jumping over those hills in real like and coming down that first hill off the start is intense. Every inch of that track was intense high speed big holes down the hills giant ruts that hardened up, the downhill into the single before the finish was my gnarliest spot, interesting to see cairoli fall there as he did that section the best when I was there.

All in all this event isn't aimed to be a fair event starring each countries best riders, it's turned into a "how do we beat the Americans" race. There's nothing fair about racing euros on the tracks they race at during the season, ypu kmow they ride these tracks during the week and year after year, and year after year we continue having to race at those tracks for the nation's. If this is there idea of fair then we should be allowed to send a rider from each regiom of our country! it's getting old and none of our top riders want to do it anymore and I don't blame them because we're being set up year after year. It's just another gp in my opinion with an added moto and more patriotic enviroment.
