World MX: Iron Horses For Courses
30 October 2008
In recent years, whenever it was time for the world championship to visit Ireland, it would be a time for sighs and groans. From the first round in years at Ballykelly to the two years at Desertmartin and the final, disastrous visit at Moneyglass, it would rain every single time. This year the Grand Prix headed south, into the Republic of Ireland, with the hope that things might change. The country down south is arguably more famous for its horse racing than motocross, and the promoters chose one of Ireland's most famous courses to hold this event – Fairyhouse.

World MX: Back In The Winning Game In Germany
20 July 2008
In 2007 I made myself a promise – Visit Germany for the Motocross Grand Prix sometime soon. In 2008, when I made the choice to attend all but two Grands Prix, this vow became a reality. In a way I dreaded visiting Germany for personal reasons, but at the same time, I was terribly excited. You see, of the Grand Prix tracks in Germany, Gaildorf and Teutschenthal, this year would be at Teutschenthal in what once used to be the old East Germany. I grew up with the inevitable stories of the post-World War split, or Volkstrennung as the Germans call it, and my first, and frankly only, sign of that after leaving Berlin Tegel airport was a small series of signs on the E51 motorway towards Halle where the old border used to be.

World MX: Wet Weather Starts The Championship Off With A Cracker
16 April 2008
"Welkom bij Eurocircuit" - That's what the sign says at the gate. Valkenswaard, a vibrant town twenty odd miles from Ground Zero of motocross, the Kempen in Belgium, and 80 miles from Germany, Brussels and Amsterdam, is the traditional season opener for the World Motocross Grand Prix, and this year again it hosts the world's most prestigious motocross championship opener. The weather is as could be expected considering the wave of low pressure systems that have chased across much of the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe – cold, wet, and nasty.
