Always ALL or nothing!
Published: 23rd July 2008 I’VE said this before I know and no doubt I’ll say it again but it is either feast or famine in this business. One week there isn’t a major event to be found – even with sat-nav – and then, like last weekend, there was a positive glut of big stuff. Events that we have just GOT to find the space for, like the eagerly-awaited WEC event in Wales, the MXGP in South Africa, the Inter Centre Team Trial up in Geordieland plus MMX, BSMA, Elite Youth Cup etc, etc. And that’s only the tip of the off-road iceberg as there are, of course, dozens of trials, MX and enduro events of varying levels of seriousness taking place the length and breadth of the country. |

TV rights are maybe wrong
Published: 16th July 2008 WE live in an age when television has taken over as the great god of sport. Virtually every event from the Olympics (which sadly these days are nothing more than a huge, ridiculously expensive, gravy-train driven farce) down to club enduros have to be seen to be on television. |

Published: 02nd July 2008 ANY event that attracts 500 riders must be doing something right... Editor JD waxes lyrical about an event that he wishes he had tackled when young and fit...and tries to get his head around battling with a sidecar around an epic like the Welsh...how do they do that? |

Well done Mr Hockey
Published: 04th June 2008 WELL, T+MX has been banging the drum for the RHL, Gareth Hockey, promoted 2008 British MXGP at Mallory Park for months now and the proof of the pudding came with Sunday’s racing. But knowing full-well that there will always be people who will find reason to knock the event – usually hiding behind a pseudonym somwhere on the Internet – I have no hesitation in standing-up to be counted and saying, “Gareth – you pulled it off! |
