TOMMY SEARLE: Issue 18
April 17, 2007
YOU LOOKED GOOD ON YOUR DEBUT RIDE FOR KTM AND WAS GETTING QUICKER AS THE NIGHT WENT ON, SHAME YOU CRASHED. YOU LOOKED IN REAL PAIN AFTER YOUR CRASH IN THE WHOOPS, HOW BADLY WERE YOU HURT? – Ryan McGready Yeah it was good but nothing special, I enjoyed it though. The first night I got a second and was feeling good going into the second night but then I crashed early on. After I crashed it hurt pretty badly and I two dead legs, I wasn’t sure about going out again but I did and then it began to hurt. I tried in the final but it didn’t work out.
DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC TO HELP YOU TRAIN? – AL When I’m on my own I do, but not when I’m in the gym and they’re playing hardcore, banging dance tunes I don’t listen to my own music. I like Take That and Boyzone, I love Uptown girl that’s my favourite, I sometimes have a little sing along to that. I’m going to have a go at the X factor when I’ve finished racing and that!
TOMMY, NICE TO SEE YOU PLAY IN THE CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH BUT WHY DID YOU ONLY PLAY FOR 10 MINUTES? YOU LOOKED FAST. WERE YOU COACHING JAMIE DOBB FROM THE TOUCHLINE? IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TALKING TO YOU ALL THE TIME. – Karen Haines That was real good fun. I only played for ten minutes because I didn’t want to get wiped out by the sidecar loonies. My trainer didn’t want me getting tackled and injured. They wouldn’t of caught me anyway not with my quick feet. What about my step-over backheel? (It was the only thing he done!-Jeff) I taught everyone a trick there. I made it to half time and had to go and do some proper work and ride my bike. Jamie thought he was Owen, he was shouting a lot but not doing much.
THE TRACK AT YOUR HOUSE ON THE NEXT GENERATION DVD LOOKS COOL. DID YOU BUILD IT YOURSELF? – Ross 'RS' Jameson Yeah I did, with a spade! No, not really but I did build it originally for my minibike and it’s just grown big enough to get round on the big bike. I haven’t ridden it since that video. I mostly ride my minibike but the neighbours go mad when I’m on the big bike.
ARE YOU GOING TO AMERICA TO TRAIN WITH THE ALESSI’S? – Elliot Watkins No. I’m going to America on January 2nd but not training with them. I’m going to Temecula. Then I come back on January 25th and go straight to Spain to train with Stefan Everts for ten days, so come that first race things should be coming together.
