Motocross in the snow!
8 02 2009Well 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.

Only on ice, never been on an MX track in the snow. Going back home next week though and my gearbag is coming with me!!
