Yes i heard the same also, that guy rips on a 250F!

Did he bring his Factory Connection bike with him?

I will be heading down for Sunday only, The rider representing Tahiti was staying with us and we sent them on there way this morning, so they should be there by now and Freezing there bums off (they were wearing double everything here in Auckland LOL)

DK was on TV1 sport with Ethan Martens, so hopefully we'll get some highlights on TV. Ethan (& and no doubt many others) been spending lots of good practice time at Taupo. Great boost to have this round here and so good for our up and coming riders to mix it up with the best overseas lads.

I saw DK on tele about a week ago, he was working with Haki and Courtney, see she is now riding a Yamaha.
If the weather is good, may ride down for the day, Sunday

what an awesome weekend, the Taupo club lifted the level of Motocross in this country again, they set the bar so high and need such huge congratulations for bringing this event here,

i think Hamish, Courtney and Micah McGoldrick all lifted there game and rode awesome, to run with some of the best in the world is amazing,

i was stoked to see most of the boys do the Haka, Sam who lead the boys looked awesome, they did it again at the dinner that night on stage, it was really awesome.
