Are people getting more<br />
dismissive of motocross again<br />
now compared to supercross?<br />
What’s your view?<br />
It is tough because with our<br />
contracts the heavier side<br />
leans towards supercross. At<br />
the same time you just want<br />
to race and you want to be<br />
competitive and Outdoors is<br />
the original ground, it is oldschool<br />
and where we came<br />
from. It has a culture. I want<br />
to be good at both but sometimes<br />
it’s hard because of<br />
the amount of races. You’ll<br />
get done with the supercross<br />
season and you’ll feel mentally<br />
drained and you’ve got two<br />
weeks to get ready and feel<br />
fully refreshed for an Outdoor<br />
season. To do two solid seasons<br />
in a row is one of the<br />
hardest parts of the job.<br />
<strong>No</strong>t wanting to push you in<br />
a corner or ask for a blithe<br />
quote but would you consider<br />
the idea of MXGP? An<br />
attempt at the world<br />
championship?<br />
I always tell them [Husqvarna]<br />
that I’d be completely open<br />
to it. The logistics side would<br />
have to be a little bit laid-out<br />
for me in terms of having a<br />
home and dealing with the<br />
culture differences. I don’t<br />
mind the change but I’d just<br />
need a proper plan. As far as<br />
racing then I don’t mind at all<br />
and enjoy coming overseas.<br />
I’ve been in Europe for more<br />
than two weeks now and have<br />
a couple more weeks ahead.<br />
I’ve enjoyed it! There are little<br />
bits of home that I miss<br />
– mainly foodwise! – but the<br />
people are really helpful and<br />
Firstly I have two more years<br />
left in the U.S. then we’ll see!<br />
Thoughts on MotoGP?<br />
I’ve been to a couple of Formula<br />
1’s and this feels similar.<br />
I’ve always wanted to go to<br />
the Austin MotoGP but it’s<br />
at a weird time for us in Supercross.<br />
It is amazing and<br />
a different level to dirtbikes.<br />
It’s funny because I’m a fan of<br />
many of these guys and I go to<br />
say hello and find out they’re<br />
a fan of me! It goes back and<br />
forth. This is another level<br />
of racing. It’s cool and fun to<br />
check out.<br />

There is a lot of pressure on<br />
supercross…but I think if you<br />
can be good at motocross<br />
then you are bad-ass and<br />
that’s a cool thing.<br />
[Rockstar Energy Husqvarna]<br />
Ice<strong>On</strong>e have a good thing<br />
around them. I have good<br />
group of sponsors around me<br />
that would help make that<br />
transition easier. I’d be openminded<br />
about it.
