Surgery went okay and most of the pain is finally gone… It’s been 3 weeks since my crash in Geneva. The first week was very painful, because my wrist was not in the right position and my arm was very swollen. So I had to wait one week till surgery. Before surgery, doctors told me it could be a challenge to fix it. When I heard they put in 1 metal plate + 10 screws, it scared me, because I didn’t expect that much screws… But the fracture in my joint was very complicated, so it was necessary!

I was hoping the pain would be less after surgery, but unfortunately it was even worse! I had to stay 2 more nights at the hospital. When the nurses gave me the maximum painkillers, I was still crying in my bed. Finally the doctors had to give me a block injection that paralysed my arm. I didn’t feel anything, not even my fingers. It was strange, but at 

Sneak peak of the 2012 GT Stay Strong Speed Series.... These framesets will be delivered to the people that pre-ordered the Stay Strong "co-sponsor" package in December. All frames are being shipped from the USA. With 2/3rd's of the allocation already sold out on pre order and the 

It was foggy and cold at 7am when we started the engine to go to round two of the Stoppelcross series, and that didn't change all day. But at least we weren't riding in the mud, something we did at previous races in Boekel. At first I did not like the track much as practice didn't go too well and also the qualifying race was tough as I threw away all tear offs at once and then had fog on the goggles for the rest of the race and I could not see anything at all. Still managed to make the A-Final of the MX2 Hobby class which was the goal again.

UK based team Love Not Money have finally made their sought after clothing range available through their website, lovenotmoney.net The company started life as the dream of racer James "Rooster" Tresman as a small team in 2010. The idea was to provide support to up-and-coming riders and enable them to get experience and build up a race CV for other teams to take notice of. A clothing line was started to fund the team but until now sales have mostly been at local races. 

STAY STRONG are working with GT for 2012 on this “Limited Edition” frame offer and “Co-Sponsor” package. Stephen Murray rode for GT for 5 years before his accident in 2007 which left him paralysed after a crash on the Dew Tour in the dirt finals. GT wanted to help their former rider with this special project with all profits from the frames being donated back to Stay Strong to help support Stephen’s family. Rockstar Energy have also sponsored Stay Strong with accessories for the “Co-Sponsor” packages that are available exclusively by pre order through Stay Strong before November 25th. After this date any frames that are left will be available on a “frame only” basis but numbers in certain sizes are already very low so it is first come first served.

Packs will include a 2012 custom Hot Shoppe Stay Strong race jersey plus tee shirts, hats, SS grips etc, so this is your
