DAY 6 – MX DAY

dick.lague — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 05:20:08 +0000

Day 6 is traditionally just one long special test. In recent years it has been an MX. About 50 events back in Germany it was a road race. In 1973 in Pittsfield Massachusetts it was a grass track MX in the rain. In Chile a couple years back the MX was on a supercross type course built on the beach. In Poland in 2003 it was a dusty farmer’s field that was so narrow, dusty and dangerous that the riders protested, and only a couple motos were run before a walk off by the riders cancelled the MX. In Mexico last year the last day was cancelled to to safety concerns due to some gang violence in town. In Portugal and New Zealand the last test was on a full GP Motocross track.

In this year’s event the riders will go from the start at Kotka directly to the Karhula MX Arena directly north a few Kilometers. The motos will be arranged by speed and displacement class. C1 club riders with the most time first down to the fastest trophy team riders.

When the riders get to the MX track they go through a time check, and their bikes are re-impounded and they wait for their moto time to come up. This will be their last shot at gaining a few more points.

With the motos done the 2011 ISDE will officially come to a close. The last remaining event will be the closing ceremonies that night.

The creative horsepower behind Ignition3 and the ISDE.TV updates and DVDs are brothers Jon and Jeff Lague. They have been shooting the ISDE since 2002. They’ve traveled the world following Team USA and have become part of the Team USA family. When they got to the starting line this AM Chuck Weir of the AMA gave them cupcakes to celebrate their birthday. In this photo by Mark Kariya, Jon has taken a first bite, Jeff looks like needs his morning coffee before his breakfast/cupcake.

In case you are wondering, that rig is called a “slider”. Something the guys came up with for some interesting shots. It gives you pans that are not really pans. Just part of the innovation that IGNITION3 puts into their work.

The DVD of the 2011 ISDE FINLAND will go on sale in November 2011. You can buy their work going back to 2002 by clicking on DVD or “Buy ISDE DVDs” buttons on this site.
