MotoCross and MotoGP 2013

The MotoCross season kicked off last week (our MotoCross season that is), and it just so happened that it started the same day as the MotoGP. Two of my my favorite sports starting on the same day, what’s the chances!

So after a great day out MotoCrossing with the girls at the private track, it was then home to watch the MotoGP. And the first race of the season surely didn’t disappoint! Who said Rossi was finished? I have been saying for the last two years that it was the bike, it has to be the bike… And what happens as soon as he gets back on the Yamaha, he blows away the competition. Had he not had that run-on in turn one he would have surely won the race. After getting back into the grove after that mistake he had to then chase down the leaders from 7th place, nearly 8 seconds behind! But that didn’t stop The Doctor, he was lapping a second a lap quicker than Lorenzo who was leading the race! Roll on two weeks time and the COTA!

So back to MotoCross, we must try to get the girls out a bit more this year. They really enjoy getting out on the bikes. Plus, we now have a CR125 to use as well, so no reason not to be getting out.

Will hopefully add some nice pictures of MotoCrossing this year…

MotoCross 2012

It’s been all go with MotoCrossing for the last few weeks, with new clubs (Leinster Offraod Club), new tracks (Kilcullen and Broadford MX tracks), Tori getting a new bike (see pics below), and the girls really getting into the spirit of it! Now Casey and Tori have the same bikes, KX65s…

Tori got her new KX65 a few weeks ago, see video of her surprised –

 

The lads haven’t been getting to do much though, it won’t be long before the girls are faster than they are…:wink:

Billy and Jordan (Wade) competed in the MX race at Broadford in the Leinster Offraod Club race series last Sunday and didn’t do too bad. Jordan on his new YZF250 and Billy on his YZ125, both in the same class. They finished about mid-field or better in both races, well done lads…! There is some video footage of the races below.

The girls need to get as much practice as they can over the next couple of months if they want to be ready for the grass-track races that Leinster Offroad Club have planned for later in the summer.

Come on girls…:thumbup:

Here are the kids races:

And Jordan & Billy’s races:

The rest of Billy and Jordan’s races are here:

Masters Of Dirt – Dublin

Masters Of What??? – MOD – that was the response…

Great show, would recommend anyone to go and see it. Loads of action all the way through. MotoX Bikes Flipping, Whipping and Tricking, BMX bikes doing the same, Quad Bike Jumping and Flipping, and even a Skidoo Backflipping :-o (I know!).

Alice got us great seats, well done ALice. Great views of all the tricks (and the fuel girls blowing fire…:shh:)

Will definitely be going next year when it comes back, great way to spend a Saturday night.

Another MotoCross Post!

It seems to be all we are doing lately, but the kids are really enjoying it. With the girls getting to go out the last two times, it was the boys turn this time, but the girls came along too and enjoyed getting a lift. The boys are getting better and better, with the odd mishap that is. See below pictures to see what I mean…:lolno:

Our nice little “Private” track is coming along great. It got a little tore up yesterday with the help of a certain KX250…:twisted: We will have to be getting the boys to the proper tracks though if we ever want them to place anywhere in the races, but for the girls this track is perfect. And during the winter while all tracks are closed, I’m sure we will use this a lot. Just as long as we keep it hush hush..:shh:

Girls MotoCross

Well until now its always been the boys that got to do the biking, but not any longer! The girls have been getting time on the bikes and are now into it, full swing…!

With Tori getting here new 50cc and Casey using the 65, they are really enjoying it. We will have to see if any other girls in the family are brave enough to give it a try… :shifty:

MotoCross 2010

We’ll I warned that we were going to make a come-back, and last weekend we did! We got the kids warmed up two weekends ago at an “un-disclosed” location, just to give them the feel for the bikes again after been off them for a while. Then over the weekend we got them to the brand new Dublin City Motocross Track…
