Australia Wins!

Australia has won the Nations Trophy at the 2009 FIM Junior World Motocross Championship, in Taupo New Zealand, ahead of Italy and New Zealand.

Jay Wilson became the 85cc World Championship and Tye Simmonds finished 2nd in the 125cc World Championship.

Nowhere To Ride

There's hardly anywhere to ride legally in NSW.

Land developers, policy exclusion, clowns and noise has resulted in closure of nearly all available areas.

Now there are Environmental problems as riders push into areas they would not have used previously.

Erosion from new track creation, grooving of water diversion banks (roll-overs), creek bank destruction and spreading of weeds and diseases from unwashed machines are all problems now.
