Every single time I hear the Nokia ringtone, this is what I think about:

So I was racing at a Grasstrack race on Saturday along with my friend Rory and wrote up this report on the South Dublin Motocross forums and thought I´d include it here as well:

There were 24 riders in my class which was MX1 and MX2 C class driven together since there werent that many riders in total.

1st Moto
When the gates dropped for the first moto I got a very good start and was in 5th position out of the first corner. I cut the second corner a bit wide and 2 more slipped past me but at the end of the first lap I was sitting in 7th position with a bit of distance to the next rider behind me and Rory sitting in 10th.

On my second or third lap I made a mistake coming around one of the corners and went sliding sideways in the muck.
Rory and 6 of his friends showed no respect and zoomed past me as I was getting back on the bike.
Although I was pretty spent after the fall I held the 15th position with great help from the roaring sound of a 2stroke trying to get past me at every corner. He didn't Cool and I finished the moto in 15th position.
Rory finished the first moto in 9th position.

2nd Moto
In the second moto we all went roaring towards that first corner and I found myself a bit more in the crowd than the first time.
Coming around the first corner someone stuck out their leg right into my front wheel and again I'm face down in the mud left dead last out of the first corner.

I rode hard since I don't like being last Twisted Evil and gradually worked my way past a couple of riders until I reached one who was driving a little bit slower than me but constantly blocked me when I tried to pass.
When we finally got to the straight down the hill I had him and went for it flat out. As I was passing him on the left hand side at the fastest part of the track your man decides to change lines (unless he was stupid enough to try to block me there) which resulted in me hitting the handlebars off some part of him or his bike.
Needless to say I got a bit of air, a couple of rolls and ended it all in an elegant mudslide.

My never-cutting-out YZF lay there on the ground still running so after asking the other rider what the bleep he was thinking and having him shout obscenities at me, me and my Yammie took off again to finish that moto, quite surprisingly at 18th place.

At the end of the day we all left with a smile (and aching body in my case) after another great day of racing!

So why would Daniel want to take up Motocross racing?

1. It's really, really, insane fun.

This blog is in desperate need of a new post so here it is.

Just wanted to share with you what we went and bought last weekend! Can't wait to get her out on the track, hopefully later this week.

Things are good otherwise, more updates later on.
