Motocross in the snow!

8 02 2009

Well seeing “all” the snow we’ve been getting in the last days and Stuey’s video of him letting that 2t RIIIIP across his local field, I thought you guys might be interested in seeing how we roll up in Iceland :)

A few explanations cause I know you’re gonna wonder:

1. A bulldozer has been over the track to get most the snow off. What’s left on the track itself is hardpacked snow/ice.

2. The tyres used are studded/spiked tyres which are also used for Icecross on frozen lakes.

3. In the darkest wintertime in Iceland, sunlight might only last between 11:00 to 14:00 (yes 11AM to 2PM!) so if you want to ride at all during the winter, you’re gonna need lights. The main front is usually a very powerful (and big) Xenon hooked up to the bikes electrical system and then many of them also have strong helmet lights as you can see.
