Last weekend was motocross weekend. The first race of the 2012 GP season took place in Valkenswaard, only 40 minutes from here. I've been a motocross fan since I was a kid so there's no passing up the first Grand Prix race of the season where everyone brings out the new bikes, their new gear and the new trucks. This year we even saw some more umbrella girls and it's a good thing they were there, because it rained on Sunday afternoon. It was a full easter weekend of racing with the girls and MX3 class added to the GP weekend.

The Randaberg Arena, close to beautiful Stavanger on Norway’s scenic southwest coast, has been transformed into a challenging Supercross track complete with the now so familiar jumps and Supercross start hill. This spectacular and spectator friendly BMX-event will be the second stop of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series of the 2012 season and will be the first time that the world’s best BMX racers will compete on this custom-made Supercross track in Norway.
