Wow... It's the weekend! How did that happen... This week has been bananas and unfortunately has kept me away from keeping you guys in the loop with what's going on in the fast paced world of Motocross/ Supercross. Never fear though, nothing can keep me down for long and i have no intention of backing off now :)
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna- sign Arminas Jasikonis
So first up we have a brand new signing from the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team and one that has caused quite a stir. Team white are building a very strong team heading into the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship and with the recent departure of Max Anstie have created a place for Arminas Jasikonis.
The twenty one year old Jasikonis hails from Lithuania and is set to partner Pauls Jonass in the MXP 450 class and is primed to be a very strong partnership indeed. Some have questioned Husqvarna with signing another unproven guy who is the same age as his proven team mate. This i can understand but in the fast paced world of Motocross you are always trying to search for the next best thing. Sure there are always going to be individuals that are part of the furniture like Cairoli and Herlings but they are also immovable objects. No team will be able to lure a guy who is of that caliber from the team that has carried them to the top.
This then leaves the obvious dilemma of either believing that the rider you currently have is going to come good or moving on and rolling the dice on the next generation. This, it seems, is exactly the plan for Husqvarna going into 2019 and i think they do have a good shot this time round. Jonas is very strong and has a MX2 title already under his name but that being said is still unproven on the bigger bike as he moves up to the MXGP class.
One thing is for sure, this guy will have no problem throwing that Factory 450 FC about! Look at the size of him haha, Monster!
Anyway, enough speculation for now let's check out what the new guy can ride like :)

2018 X-Games Sydney - Dirt Shark
So It can't be a weekend without some epic Motocross / Supercross action can it? No it can't haha so i have for you guys the latest video from the Dirt Shark camp and man this one is a cracker! For the first time ever the crew have headed down under for the 2018 X-Games in Sydney to check out the amazing freestyle Motocross show and all i can say is wow!
Tom Pagès once again is the star of the show and man this guy is unbelievable! The things he can do with a bike seem impossible to us normal humans but he does them all with such ease and grace it's breathtaking to watch.
Eighty foot front flip? No problem haha wtf!!
As always the Dirt Shark crew give us amazing behind the scenes action as well as interviews with the stars of the show. We get to see insane BMX, skate and Motocross action and now i know for sure i need to check out an X-Games very soon! haha
