will coppins be back by then, maybe part of BT's rehab, cooper's off season,

[scott411]

Coppins will be a very unlikely starter, and BT maybe as well, Coops could be a starter if his team wants some more SX experience for him,

http://www.superx.com.au/ is the series website

[SpikedPunch]

Oooohh I am so there!!!

[oldguy]

I'll be there, we been getting some top riders to these here shores, and hosting
a international event, and have another one later this year, sure we could host an MXON

[Hemex]

Yeah but McGraths my hero! haha Ive raced with Chad lots but it will be good to see how fast he is!!

Where did you race with Chad?!
A mate of mine used to be trained by Daniel McCoy in Oz and we used to go live on his farm for a couple of weeks (couldnt ride then as I was on crutches)...McCoy was QUICK and Chad came to ride once and was a couple of seconds quicker than McCoy....but to get an idea of how fast Chad would be now... McCoy is 33rd in the AMA SX now...:laugh:...thats still something though!

[kezzafish]

i have raced with Chad as well, Chad raced in NZ for a bit when he was 15 and 117, in juniors and seniors, i raced teh 99 125 Nationals, i think Choppa beat me by 2 points, ha ha, Chad however beat us by a whole lot more, i did holeshot a few races that year so i would have lead him for a bit,

Mmm, my thoughts exactly. And of course he'll have a designated driver..... :whistle:

[roy.nz]

Chad Reed should make a request to his best mate James 'Bubba' stewart to come ride. I really want to see those to head to head in realy life.

[Pierce]

I really want to see those to head to head in realy life.

I'm off to the states in less than a week. L.A. for over a week then off to Vegas for the AMA Supercross finals to see that battle:headbang:

Missed Bubba last year due to him being in rehab for an ACL reco.

oooh dodgy dodgy.. haha... sent you a text...

[Hazza]

That is way cool :cool:

would be well worth the ride up to the tron

[snarldom]

from what I can gather McGrath is only doing 3 rounds and all of them in Oz... anybody confirm that? Will still be awesome!

[Pierce]

Nothing in the write up about this so i'd say you're right about that.pity but he'd be well out of shape and totally off the pace. Reeds riding faster then charmichael at the moment due to not racing anymore.

[telliman]

its the same old shit when these shows roll into town, all the big names to promote then they all start fadding!

[SpikedPunch]

oooh dodgy dodgy.. haha... sent you a text...

Ta bro, krad's scored me him and meatbomb some platinum seats, awww yeah :woohoo:

[raglanash]

Wrap me up in bubble wrap and I'll give it a crack.

[vr4king]

Be cool to ride a proper designed superx track

If i had the time and money id do it

[vazza]

Missed Bubba last year due to him being in rehab for an ACL reco.

Wow, did bubba do his ACL?

I did my ACL as well ( its still done )

Information on this???

[CRF119]

Bike is in to many bits to have ready for SX id be so keen. They giving you extra practise even!!

[secondfield]

Get it together mate, just went and saw the racing in Sydney saturday - the best motorsport event hands down id ever witnessed first hand. Shame on any dirt bike fans that dont make the effort to at least go.

I have tickets to watch i have had them since they went on sale. Bike is in bits this week because im ment to be watching not riding but if they need riders i may ride. Bike is fully stripped Frame only has engine sitting in it at the moment but will see.


Sending them a fax to find out more info. Pretty keen at this stage will see what he has to say :jerry:

[Atomic]

Anyone wanna trade two side by side platinum tickets for one platinum ticket plus cash your way?

Wanna bring my girl but cant get her a seat with my current booking and they no longer have two seats available... only single seats available at this late stage.

I know its a long shot but maybe someone has a spare ticket???

Bummer.... if you buy a single you may get lucky on the night and end up sitting together depending on numbers.... if you know what I mean.

See ya there... gonna be a fun night! :clap:

[Atomic]

Already tried that, they have no seats near my current booking, might get a single seat and make everyone draw straws on who sits by themselves! Pretty good odds seeing as we have 10 of us going.

Yep its gonna be epic, you in the platinum area or with the plebs?

[CRF119]

Clearly they have enough riders now as they havnt replyed to the fax i sent the organisers

[scott411]

thats typical of super x. none of the riders that entered origanlly were told anything either,

[Teava]

Hi guys, got 2 general admin tickets for sale as we have upgraded to the Gold section, any one want them just PM me, $80 for the both of them.

[trailblazer]

:2thumbsupcan't wait till saturday i have had my tickets since they went on sale. My boy is going to over the moon when we get there on sat.

Lol, I overheard a kid in cycletreads asking his Dad for a pair of boots 'these are the ones Chad Reed wears!!' on Saturday, wouldn't have been yours would it? :bleh:
Excited for Sat/getting to redeem my birthday present finally :D

[trailblazer]

nah mate my boy is only 2 1/2 but is motorbike mad. He will sit there for an hour reading dirt rider downunder. He evan knows if there is a new one that he hasn't got at the supermarket.

[camchain]

Bump. Quite a good minute and a half item on TVOne news just now.

Showed track halfway done (500 truckloads of dirt when finished) Michael Phillips showed a couple of his best scars, and according to pretty pit girl: "Nothing better than a dirty boy on a bike."

[secondfield]

Yeah, hey crf119 ... howd it go ? any positive response from the org?
the only reason I really suggested it'd be good to race is that you might get a shot at poking the 30 second girl at the afterparty.

[scott411]

the track is mean, was down there last night installing start gates,

i suggest a lot of kiwi's are going to struggle on the track, it is a step up from anything i have ever seen here before,

[krad_nz]

Well we are heading down in about 30mins. Looking forward to it!

I know they're holding the kwaka umbrella, but they really seemed more in favour of 'team orange' :whistle:

[daddycool651]

[laserracer]

Yep was a great night :2thumbsup

[vazza]

Was sooooo sick..

simmonds is a legend. That kids got a big future ahead of him.

Hog bar was mean to :D

[takitimu]

Great racing, my pick was actually the kid Jake Moss, I thought that 1 vs 1 he had with Chad was awesome & the format of the nights racing was really good.

Bit to much fighting going on though for me to say I enjoyed Hamilton ( both at the event & though I had already crashed, early the next morning ).

[merv]

Right, so I promised Phil I'd get some pics.

This is probably my best shot.

Cute, makes a change from Lisa Lewis in Hamilton, but then she's banned from that stadium eh!

[vr4king]

Great night hope it becomes a regular thing

[clmintie]

Right, so I promised Phil I'd get some pics.

This is probably my best shot.

Cool mate, knew you wouldn't disappoint.... :2thumbsup

Thats all for now folks.

[trailblazer]

it was an awesome night of action packed racing i hope they bring it back to nz next year.

[krad_nz]

Yeah nice night out of Auckland thats for sure.

So many crashes and botched landings etc. The one on one was a highlight for me.

Good to see Reed getting pressured by some kiwi's too.

[CRF119]

I could be wrong but there wernt any kiwis racing in Reeds class...........

[Atomic]

I was on a bit of a low while watching, all I wanted to do was hit those tripples! That was till I heard that the lips were rutted foot peg depth!!! Hmmmm….scary!

[CRF119]

I couldnt see the up face of the large tripple on the far side.(Old side) but the middle one looked fine and they kept fixing it anyway.

[Atomic]

Its a shame Auckland doesnt have a public SX track, id pay good money to ride some of that.

[telliman]

keeping in mind though they make it look so damn easy,it would take a long time before it became fun haha, interesting they had no whoops in that round!

[little.whittle]

keeping in mind though they make it look so damn easy,it would take a long time before it became fun haha, interesting they had no whoops in that round!

Apparently the soil was too soft for whoops :weep:

[Atomic]

Come on man, im sure we could handle it!

[telliman]

dude, that was the cream of the crop of nz riders, and they struggled!
would be cool to ride something like that though, i hear mason phillips has a US style track like that, we should go down some time, even tokaroa

[takitimu]

dude, that was the cream of the crop of nz riders, and they struggled!

Yeah they struggled the first 1/2 for sure, but I thought they got alot better as the night went on, they are damn good riders the top crop in NZ & it's not their fault they've come off National MX & had a short period to convert to SX.

It was a great night I thought & my take was given a decent build up & given a season that allowed NZ MX/SX & Aussie SX, they would be extremely competitive, especially in the lites. But at the moment we are behind the 8-ball in NZ, though I think we've got the talent :) if not experience.

[civil]

i hear mason phillips has a US style track like that, we should go down some time, even tokaroa

It is called Leading Edge, just out of Te Puke. Try getting details via MotoGB in Tauranga as Davie Fisher is also involved with the track.

I have yet to hear when it is open this summer.

[Katoomer]

Drove past it on the way to Hamilton on Sat.
They have made the jumps heaps bigger than last summer. I think BT has had some influence on the layout as I've heard he's using it for practice.

Hamilton SX was well worth the trip over. Symmands and Moss look like following in Chads footsteps.

[takitimu]

Hope this is true, heard today that Hamilton was the biggest crowd they have had at the SX series this year !!.

[vr4king]

Now that would be cool

[Pierce]

dude, that was the cream of the crop of nz riders, and they struggled!

Yeah it took a while to get into it but I thought once they got used to the track all the riders rode really well. Almost all of the riders were hitting the tripples.
Everytime I've been down to Tokoroa the SX track has never been open for riding. Almost seems like they don't want people riding the SX track outside of the actual races.

[Atomic]

Struggled? Even Chad had a few sketchy moments but thats to be expected when your pushing 100% on race day. Id line those tripples up any day under casual conditions and im sure you would too.
Yep sounds good, im keen!

[motocoorg]

What a night..
some pics, not very clear tho..

[Chia]

So did it damage every stadium in Australia too...???
I'd say not as I'm sure they use the same venues every year.

[raglanash]

Soft waikato grass eh.

when the superx was on the news, yea it surprised me too, the order went something like.

rugby game
players talk about the game
coaches talk about game
fans talk about game
rugby game from another country
people talking about the game from another country
rugby players who didnt play but said something on some website once
the coach talking about how hes old and whats this internet business
netball
cricket
cheese rolling ( maybe not but they would if they could )

fuck if all they are worried about is the grass dying we should just buy them a couple of bags of grass seed. Fucks it's only grass they can have some of mine i got 2 paddocks that are growing to fast for my liking. Lol

Start making silage, if things don't change Northland is in for a drought & there's a few guys up here who'd like some extra :).

Seriously, you're not being fair, stadium grass has to be specialised varieties & really well looked after, though I wonder how wet & long it was before the ply went down, sounds like it started rotting.

[camchain]

Interesting link (grass issue). That figure of 5000 tonnes of dirt must be out by a zero or two though. Enormous amount of work and expense. Wonder what the all the $ come to, does it pay or does council chip in? Sounds like turf problem is a deal breaker.

[camchain]

motocoorg. Hope you don't mind, couldn't resist tweaking a couple of your pics. Dark shots often have plenty of hidden juice.

[Reckless]

Suspension in that first pic is well compressed aye!

Thanks mate, that is much better.

Check out the flame from the exhaust on this one, not very clear pic tho..

[Katoomer]

Some more .
This is Moss chasing Reed

[motocoorg]

Moss is the man. I am a big fan of him, after seeing him ride.

[trailblazer]

and next year he is off to the states to race we will see big things from him.
