                            Hello Everyone 
                            Hope you are all doing well. January has been a good start to a new year for 
                              me. Cant believe its over already. After a nice rest in December I started the 
                              month off with a demo in Dortmund in Germany. It was the first supercross of the
                              year and we were there to put on a show for the sold out arena. There were about
                              10000 people there on each of the 3 nights. It was crazy but lots of fun. After
                              that I flew back home for some practice. I have been working on some new tricks
                              and also on my fitness. I really want to have a good year this year and I'm as
                              determined as ever. 
                               
                                
                               
                              I have been riding at least 3 times a week and also doing a
                              lot of track riding and mountain biking. I'm feeling really good on my bike
                              lately and really want to make it happen. This last weekend I did a show in
                              Johannesburg SA at a motor show. It was an awesome one.The weather held out for
                              us, no wind and the crowds loved it. I have just learned Cordova flips and I did
                              one at the show. I was really stoked about it. One of the photographers got a
                              pic of it. Its a little mistimed but you can get the idea. This coming weekend I
                              am off to Cape Town for the first round of the South African FMX nationals. 
                               
                              There is a lot of hype about the event and I really want to go there and win it.
                              I have a few tricks up my sleeve and I am determined to take No1.Hope you all had a good first month of the year and hope the next 11 are just 
                              as good. 
                               
                              Thanks for all the support
