a lot going on!!

Welcome back on my blog page!

I'm sorry for the update stop. Just didn't find the time..
So many things were going on during the last two weeks, but i'd like to start with this weekend at the BMX SX WorldCup in Madrid.

After we saw the track i was really happy to see this *Box-Jump* looked so good i was ready to get on the track!!
Practise one showed us that the track was still kind a soft and sticky, so it was even harder to handle it.. My training went really good, no crashes and a lot of confidence for the race day.
My Time-Trial run wasn't perfect, anyway i got 24th place out of 130 riders and was happy with that!
After a good lunch i made my way back to the arena and saw all these people in front of the entrance, so good to see about 2000 people waiting for your race xD

Race started good for me and Switzerland, i got second behind Lapraz.
I did some pretty good moves on second straight witch helped me to get a third and fourth place in the other motos!

Quarter was stacked and i had the outside lane, was good to stay away from trouble and with a high low move i came into the fourth place.. SEMI FINAL what a race for me so far!
That was the high goal i set myself and i reached it so i was really pumped!!
Semi was last station for me, again in the outside line but the door wasn't open for me..

Semi starting list..


Great weekend again after the one in Pheonix with a AA Elite semi and podium, now some big UCI points for the ranking!!

At the moment i'm in Barcelona for some 4cross shooting action until thursday and then pretty much directly to Besancon for the first european BMX round.

stay tuned

season is ON

Wuuuhaaa today was a really big pro race going on at the ABA/ UCI Winternationals in Phoenix AZ.
Everybody showed up out here in the desert, to pull on the good track here!
After friday practise they changed the prosection quite a bit and today was really cool!

Felt pretty good at the Gate with all of these big names around!
Got a second place to start in to the race whitch motivated me a lot, came up with a sixth and a fourth it was tight but i made it to the quarters. Motos here are a bit different than in Europe, you race against different people in every moto!

one of the motos.. as you can see, it was alredy going fast there!






Quarters came up in the hot sun, didn't come out of the gate that good but was able to stay away from small mess in the first corner. Then stayed in fifth behind Bubba Harris until third corner, where we both passed the other guy.. made it into the semi and was really happy with that!




the sheet told me it will need a perfect run go get thru this one.. 4 former WorldChampions at the Gate!





Between Kyle Bennet and Maris Stromberg i had a pretty good gate and was able to get into the pack in the first corner.. came out 5th behind Khalen Young, tried to make a move in the third corner.
But in the end it was a 5th Place in semi, I'm happy with this first race of the season!
Stay tuned for more news, hopefully it doesn't rain to much tomorrow!

race is coming up

A lot of work has to pay out this season, first form check will be the ABA National in Pheonix AZ this weekend.
It's going to be a fun trip with Javier and my new rental Car, the third and last one now, no not an accident i had to change it because my rental is longer than 40 days or something like that.. ;) a new red one, ready to demage haha
