With me racing this weekend I thought a great interview with my alter ego would be fun :D


Ivan:
So, what are your racing plans this weekend, Truespode?


Truespode:
First... it is MISTER Truespode to you. You don't know me that way.

Ivan:
Of course, of course. My apologies Mr. Truespode. So, what are your racing plans this weekend, sir?


Truespode:
Well, on Saturday I am planning on racing two classes at the last race Parker Valley MX will ever hold. That place holds special meaning to me as I have witnessed many great events there over the years. There was the year Danny Baker passed Linus on the outside of a corner. Got a pic of that on the net of that one with Linus looking over his left in disbelief.

Then there was the Loretta Lynn's Qualifier that Paul Ashmann raced in. That track was rough.

There were the races Lee was in but ended up on the ground...

Tommy's first race was there if I remember correctly.

Vince (aka Wrench) career pretty much took off there and he had so many great races there.

One day he got a bad start but chased down the field and ran up close to the front.

Then there were the countless battles between James "I make airplanes with my guild" Poole. We had a lot of great races, where he usually came out on top.

Unfortunately James is nursing a wrist injury brought on by too much self-pleasure so he won't be making the race this weekend. Hopefully I can hold on to the integrity and competitiveness that Team Turtle represents on my own.


Ivan:
You seem to be pretty sad that this will be PVMX's last race?


Truespode:
I am. It is a sad day any riding area is closed down. But I hope the JMX Racing organization will thrive with new venues. It's not the end of the world but the end of a great ride.


Ivan:
Rumor has it you will also be doing a Harescramble on Sunday as well. Is that true?


Truespode:
Well, of course. It is the last race of the NCHSA organization as well. I have yet to race at all this year due to contract disputes that have landed me in court. However, I am back now and ready to finish the year off right. If I would not have raced this weekend it would mark the first year since 2000 that I did not race at all. I don't want to set that type of precedence.

My identity is part of riding, part of Team Turtle and part of Truespode!

I just hope to ride well and finish safe. As I hope for the same of all my competitors.


Ivan:
What position are you hoping to get?


Truespode:
Well, in MX I'd be happy to get a top 10 in Unl Rookie. I should do better but I have not done a lot of MX this year at all so I am using that class as a warm up of sorts. Then I am hoping to get a top 5 in +30c/d but we will have to see. With this being the last race ever there it is possible that a lot of old timers will make it out to give it one last go. Rumor has it that Joe himself (the promoter for JMX) is considering getting out there and racing +40. That should be cool... I hope someone gets some good pictures of that!


Ivan:
Speaking of pictures... you are noted for your ride reports yet you are not taking a photographer along on this weekend? Why? Are you worried about getting any of your diminishing skills recorded on film and shared on the Internet?


Truespode:
God NO! Have you seen the pictures of my spodeness? I am not emberassed at all by my lack of skill. I embrace it and live by the motto that Truespode is where talent and enthusiasm diverge!

Ivan:
Well, good luck this weekend Mr. Truespode. Stay safe.


Truespode:
Thank you kind sir. I want to take the time to go ahead and thank my sponsors, Team Turtle, Dirtrider.net, Upstate Cycle, Georgiaoffroad.com and James Poole Crab Shack House of Porn and World of Warcraft Foundation.

Just helping Ivan get through a rough spot when I noticed every third post of his had "bewbs" in it. Motocross or Bewbs. :)
