We woke up for the Powercross day on Saturday and after a mango smoothie and cookies and cream smoothie we headed up to the event. By 10am before practice had even started there was roughly 10,000 people crammed into the tiny area and spilling out on to the roads. It was crazy seeing so many people there but the local Malang residents would have hardly ever seen something like this before.
With the first round of the Powercross series completely in the air and no one knowing what was going to happen next, there were a few people in the background making it work. Mr. Judiarto decided if the stadium wasn’t going to come around to their agreement, then they would have to find a new place to stage the event.
With only 3 hours sleep when Clinton and I left Brisbane for Perth and met up with Sheeny and Seb, all four of us jumped aboard the Garuda flight which made an unscheduled flight to Denpasar (Bali) before we finally made it to Jakarta.
What the? Yeah, it surprised me too. The Indonesian Powercross organisers have asked me to race in the supercross series this year and take on the likes of Lewis Woods who placed 6th overall in the recent SuperX racing in 250F Pro Lites class. So where do I find time for this?
When I booked my tickets for the Indonesian shows I thought to myself, this would be a great opportunity for one of my major sponsors, Valyside Apparel, to have a go in a new market. I thought being that I'm Marketing Coordinator that I might be able to pull some strings and guess what...
