Hello,
this is gonna be a long newsletter since a lot has happened. In the end of April I rode shows at the BAUMA
in Munich for CATERPILLAR. We had four shows every day for a week. Everything went well, CAT
took really care of us, we had a great time and the crowd appreciatetd our show (in fact, everybody said
it was the greatest show during the whole tradeshow). The only bad thing was a crash of mine at the very
last show, second last jump: I slipped off the peg during a Nac-Flip and crashed hard. Luckily nothing
serious happend but a black eye, a stiff neck and a bruised calf. 3 das later I was back on the bike ...
I HAD to be back anyway, since I had organised a european roadtrip with the filmers of M80, a FMX show
on american TV station FUEL TV. Adam Barker and Ryan Leyba, the two filmers, were joined in my car by
Goba, an australian photographer who used to be the boss of Freerider MX. We started in my park, went
on to Bengsland, Fabland, then visited Mat Rebeaud in Switzerland, Remi Bizouard and Manu Troux in
France and finished the 14 day trip in Andre Villas SUZKI FMX PARK in Spain. Along with us went Alvaro
Dal Farra and his buddies Ricky (photo) and Albi (film). On the differnet locations we were joined not just
by our hosts, but also Gerald Sanfilippo, Ilkka Salo (broke his leg, get well!!!), the crazy Pages-brothers,
Dani Torres, Morgan Carlsson and Rino Holm. Also Jeff from Freestyle MX Mag and french filmer and
stripper de luxe Mike plus photo-madman Chris Stock joined the trip for a few days. The trip for sure
was teh best roadtrip we have ever done. Expect to see some sick photo- and videofootage in the next
months to come! Thanks to everybody who helped to make this trip such a big success!
When I came home I pretty much had to leave again for a Red Bull FMX show at the pregame show of
Colognes American Football team Cologne Centurions. The 22.500 spectators went berzerk when they
saw us perform! But rest was not in the deal since Fab, Bengs and me headed to Reutlingen to help our
Upfroce buddy Marc Fischer with another FMX show during the ADAC MX Masters.
So Busty is very busy... but this generates a lot of coverage. Check out the latest german „max“ magazine
and you will find a 6-page spread about Busty. On wednesday the 30th of May you can see him live in
TV on RTL at 20.15 h (it will be a surprise) and on June, 19th you can watch a 60-minute documentary
about Busty and Freddy on D-MAX at 23.10 h.
Now I am already in Ireland for the Red Bull X-Fighters in Slane Castle. The track looks sick and this
could become the best X-Fighters ever. It is sold out already, this means 35.000 crazy spectators will
cheer for the best FMX riders in the world on the best track Europe has seen so far! Check out www.
redbullxfighters.com for live webcasts and infos!
After X-Fighters I will ride at the Stick The Trick in Brixen before I spent most of June in the USA for some
practice with the NV/HC boys and to ride the open qualifier at the AST DEW TOUR in Baltimore.
I have got to relax now to be ready to rock...
