Aged just 28 Molson Kawasaki’s Lisa Church is one of the youngest team managers in the sport of motocross and most definitely the only female to front a factory team. She’s expertly managed the Church family’s race team for three and a half years now and during that time has implemented changes that have seen the team grow from a Kawasaki supported outfit to a full on factory team for 2008. With the Molson team’s home GP approaching at Mallory Park this weekend we caught up with Lisa at Molson Kawasaki's European base in Belgium to find out more about this enigmatic character and the work she does. 2008-06-02T10:46:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/molson-kawasakis-own-sir-alex-but-blonde-and-better-looking-part-one http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-neville-bradshaw We caught up with Neville Bradshaw recently to grab a quick High Five's on what's going down with the 24 year old super stylish South African. 2008-05-21T17:13:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-neville-bradshaw http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-ben-field One on the characters of the paddock some people might not know about is Ben Field a little chap with a big heart, Ben rides for Relentless Suzuki in the MX2 class in the Maxxis British championship, it’s his first year mixing it with the big boys, so what’s going down Mr Field? 2008-05-16T12:54:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-ben-field http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-joe-dark Meredith Suzuki's Joe Dark is now in his third season as an adult rider and is finally showing the speed that made him a schoolboy champion. I caught up with him just after the last Maxxis Round at Lyng where he finished eighth overall in the MX2 class to see what's going on with the lad from Bristol. 2008-05-14T12:22:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-joe-dark http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-oliver-sandiford-smith MOTO web reporter Ade Threasher managed to find ten minutes of spare time to HIGH FIVE interview Oliver Sandiford Smith of CCM just before his injury which put him out of the Maxxis championship for a short while – take it away Ade. 2008-05-07T15:51:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-oliver-sandiford-smith http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-lee-dunham For the past couple of years Motoxtreme Kawasaki's Lee Dunham has been one of the top riders in the National AMCA championships and has been a member of the Great Britain IMBA team. I took some time out at the British Masters meeting at Dean Moor to have a chat with the likeable lad from Gloucestershire and find out why he's got the nickname 'Dangerous Dunham!' and a little bit more. 2008-05-02T08:57:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-lee-dunham http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-lewis-tombs Lewis Tombs the 17 year old from Portsmouth takes his first step into adult racing this year when he competes in the Maxxis MX2 class against several grand prix stars. I caught up with Lewis at round three of the Maxxis British Motocross Championship at Waggadon Farm, Torrington to see how things were going. 2008-04-24T15:10:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-lewis-tombs http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-daniel-preston The British under21 championship is one of the most competitive series in the UK, packed full of talent and future stars, one rider who has come on leaps and bounds this year is Daniel Preston.

He also decided to move up on to a 450f and race in the MX1/Open class, but a crash at the Hawkstone International meeting in early March has seen him off the bike ever since, I caught up with him whilst at the second round of the MMX Championships at Whiteway Barton. 2008-04-17T09:27:00+00:00 http://www.motomagazine.co.uk/interviews/high-fives-ray-rowson-par-honda
