Holy cow. Check out this one from Jeffrey Beerdsen and the start straight at Valkenswaard.

Anyone up for a game of pool?

Jeffrey Beerdsen ?


That Dutch hippy-dude rocks.


They actually rub lotion on the sand over there, prior to the massage.

It's slightly erotic . And two tear-offs.

They used to harrow the starts at all the tracks to make them slower/safer but I think they found that they actually got less crashes on the sand starts if they left them a bit firmer. I love those drifting shots you get of riders round the first turn.

yup Anthony 'pass the Boissiere' on a TM. They have this wierd looking thing on a front end loader for backdragging the start 3D. Its not the std bucket though.
