Foxhills, undoubtably one of the best motocross tracks in the world. A mixture of new and old school diciplines although the old school wins through due to the outrageous nature of the landscape that the track sits upon.
Hills....hills like you would not believe for those that have never been there before. Walking the track you approach the top of the decents and you see the bottom of the valley before you see the slope that takes you down.
Since going there in the 90's to watch the Gp's it has been a dream to ride the place and today I got the chance.
Any nervousness was seen off by the excitement of being able to ride the hallowed soil of Foxhills. Practice was short to say the least with only two laps to find you way around.
Into the valley for the first time and memories of Everts and Tortelli come to mind back in the glory days of the Foxhills GP. Through the valley and time to go back up hill before tackling the up and down sections that make Foxhill the track it is.
The first BIG downhill now needs to be dealt with and it's a leap/roll of faith into the abyss...everything is sweet, made it to the bottom then the forst major uphill needs to be conquered and winding the 250 smoker open I was not ready for the fact that once attacking the hill it is so steep that you can't actually see the top as you can't lift you head high enough to spot the lip of the uphill double so it open her up and grit the teeth. Floating onto the crest of the landing an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction is yours as you know that from now on you are going to enjoy every single last second of riding this place.
Winding up and down hill it's back into the valley for some of the most unpredictable jumps I have ever come across, flinging you high but only the better riders and getting the length needed to ensure a smooth landing on the down slope.
Of the three starts I had two decent ones but the first gate drop saw me hit the gate but hey...it was the first time ever I have been in a start scenario using a start gate.
All three races I came in around the 17th position which I am real happy about.
Awesome day, awesome track and just can't wait to do it again

Thanks Ady for gifting me an extra lap in the last race although I neally came a huge cropper but thankfully managed to speedway style it and hold on.
