This is an AWESOME vid. The guy is attacking the corners, elbows up nice style. Also the track is impressive, love to spend the day there.
I’ve swapped my warranty for an external mic setup. It’s a massive improvement but still not right. Might need to buy a decent mic and try again. Getting some interference at high revs…
Trying out my new Contour HD Helmet Cam on the farm bike before I take it out on the track with the Husqvarna. Seems I’ll have to modify it to get rid of the wind noise.
Well, actually, I haven’t got a plan at all.
But thats all about to change.
Like a lot of blokes, I want to go pro and make lots of money doing nothing but racing dirt bikes every weekend. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, not least of which being my complete lack of talent, this goal is out of the reach of most of us.
So I was thinking… I wonder how far Joe Blogs could go if he actually gave up the fags, started training and got some coaching in as well?
Therein lies the reason for this site. What’s a web site got to do with it you ask? Good question mate!
I’ve always been “gunna” start training and “gunna” quit smoking but nobody ever knew about it other than me so every time I put it off it was no big deal. It’s pretty hard to fail at something when nobody knows the goal.
I also used to develop web sites for a living and once again have been getting the urge to build another one. I have a real Love/Hate relationship with web development. I build a sexy site, then get sick of the thing and swear never to build another one again. But thats how I came up with the idea of a blog to record my progress as I try to get fit and earn some respect on race day.
Busy season is nearly over on the farm. The cows will shortly go onto once-a-day milkings and I’ll be able to ride and train from now until July 2010. That gives me just under 7 months to see what I can achieve. Hence the “Cunning 6 Month Plan”.
At the moment it’s just a plan that I’m working on while I complete this site. Together with my best mate Daniel Hoskins and Kiwi legend Chris Birch we’ll work out a nice strategy that suits my schedule and finances and go from there.
Here’s a few points for me to work on over the next few days:
Anyway, that’ll do for now…..my fingers are getting tired:)
If you didn’t catch the last round of MotoGP at Catalunya your in luck!
Here’s the last two laps of the battle between Valentino Rossi and his team mate Lorenzo. What a battle!
