For those of you that have been reading this magazine from its conception you’ll know that we try to do things a little different from the others. Of course I’m not at all suggesting that they don’t either but I think it’s fair to say that because Moto is a motocross only magazine the attitude of the sport comes out on the pages. Looking back over previous issues it’s become apparent to me just how much we’re now fighting a corporate world, a point that I have mentioned a couple of times before. Unfortunately with the money laid on the line when a rider puts pen to paper, and with the constant and ever growing competition in the commercial world, we’ve now been subjected to blatant name-dropping and countless speeches about how a rider’s tyres were ‘hooking up’. It drives me loopy but I don’t blame a rider for doing it, you’d do the same if it meant extra dough in your bank account.
