Hi everyone.

Well firstly I hope you all had a great Christmas! I spent mine in the UK with Family. Guitar Hero World Tour, thats all I can say!! :)

I just want to tell you guys about my last Event of 2008 for I and the team.
We were in London, Wembley Stadium. Which I would say is a local event for me now days! The Race Of Champions! Its a great event to be apart of. We were there Riding a RedBull X Fighters Exhibition. For those of you who may not have heard about Race Of Champions. Its has the top racing, rally car drivers in the world! From F1 to WRC. Names like Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, David Coulthard, Subastien Loeb and many more. A very high profile event!

The end result is that there will be a Champion of Champions. All drivers race against each other 2 at a time in the same cars. There are 4 or 5 different manfuctures of Super cars to like buggys! The KTM Xbow car was there and looks really great out on the track! To give your self a better idea check out www.raceofchampions.com Its well worth a look!



Back to are show. Unfortunately tipical British weather prevent us having a practice the day before the event. So we had to go straight in to our show.
The show was great tho, it couldnt have gone any better.With camras on our bikes and the spider cam following us in mid air. I know there some real good footage there. For me it was great to be back in England infront of 70'000 spectectors. The last time I was here was in June! I think that a good example just to show how busy I have been and of course, fmx4ever has been!
