“Extreme -Fun in the Sun “
Jonathan Re a, just gets the drop on Gordon “Crockstar” Crockard .
“Extreme -Fun in the Sun “
World Superbike “Race Winner” Jonathan Rea , and currently Number 4 in the 2009 WSB Rankings, is no stranger to Off –Road riding, in his short , but well documented Youth Motocross career , the 21year Old won both Irish and British tittles before turning his sights to the tarmac.
Based just outside Larne, in Northern Ireland, Jonathan finds that riding and racing in the odd “charity Grass track” event, helps him unwind away from the Spotlight of World Superbike Racing.
Tipped by many as a serious contender for the 2010 WSB title, “JR” as he is known by his friends, also runs a Professional, British Championship Motocross Team, purely so he can offer an unique opportunity to help further the career of young talent in the making.
JR is a close friend of Risk Racing Europe’s man on the ground, Steve Mills – the “Rare Pair” have been known to “Party on Occasion”.
At a recent Risk Racing “Play Day” at the spectacular Tandragee “Moto – Park” , JR along with three times British Motocross Champ, Gordon Crockard and World Championship contender , Natalie Kane , enjoyed a day in the Sun (that should read, THE day in the Sun) while they got together to discuss the merits of the Risk Racing Holeshot Race Gate and RR1 Stand.
Over the next few weeks, on the Risk Blogg - will bring you , Pictures, Comment (and if James, can work it – Video )of an extremely fun day , with some of the Worlds most EXTREAME RACERS!

Ulster MX2 Championship
Risk Racing Europe
Standing on the second step of the podium at the penultimate round of the Premier 250F Championship, Risk Racings Rider Richard Bird is looking forward to the “final showdown” at Donamana in October.
After two hard fought Moto’s around the hillside, stone filled Co, Down circuit, only two points separate Richard from the new 2009 Irish Champion in the quarter litre class, Stuart Edmonds.
Third in both races, Richard dropped his machine in the final stages of the second Moto, losing one place was enough to hand over the points lead to the “on form” Edmonds.
Although it is the Ulster MX2 Championship that beckons, throughout the season, Richard has fought with Edmonds and defending double Champ, Wayne Garrett, the final round of the series will take place in “Chambers” Sand Pit, possibly the roughest circuit on the Irish Motocross calendar.
“I am delighted that the final race is in Donamana, I love the place” quoted Richard, who has consistently put in some of his best performances on the jump filled sand quarry.
It will be a tough call, Edmonds is on the crest of a confidence wave, winning the Irish MX2 Crown and leading the MX1 series, the Dublin lad will be hard to beat.
Defending Champ, Garrett, has had a tough season by his standards, a double win may be good enough to return the Silverware back to his homeland of Comber, but he will have to be at his best to do so.
In his first year as a serious title contender , Richard has proved he can win Moto’s, and consistently run at the sharp end of the pack, to win the Ulster MX2 Crown would confirm his place in that elite “Circle of Champions”.
