Sideburn Magazine asked me to design the new Dirt Quake 5 poster. I may sound like a kid but this was a dream come true, haha! So cool, thanks dudes!!! :)))))
Info about Dirt Quake 5 from the Sideburn Blog:
Due to reasons beyond our control we have to change the date of Dirt Quake. The original date was 8-9 July. It is now 15-16 July
It's still at the Adrian Flux Arena, King's Lynn. Very sorry if this
causes any grief for people, but there was nothing we could do to make
the original date work because of change in circumstances at the track.
Fortunately they found us another date in their packed summer schedule.
The superb poster for this year's event was created by the Dutch master,
long-time friend of Sideburn and a Dirt Quake racer himself, Mr Lennard Schuurmans.
Tickets will go on sale in February. Race entries open in late-April. Keep an eye on the blog for details.
We're delighted to say Bikesure, motorcycle insurance specialists, have come back on board as the title sponsor and we have a new sponsor, Motone - a supplier of machine bolt-on parts for custom, street tracker or cafe racer.
If you'd like to sponsor Dirt Quake, please email me at dirt@sideburnmagazine.com for details. G
Dirt Quake 4 was brilliant! Thanks Sideburn Magazine and everyone involved!
The Suzuki GR650, that I build with my brother Martin Schuurmans in the last months, handled great on the track. I came in second in the first heat and... First in the the second heat! :)))
Check this video to see me win the second heat! :)
Broke some bones in the final so that was a bit of a bummer but luckily my brother decided to come along to Dirt Quake and was able to drive me home safely, thanks bro for the good care!

Hubert Bastié and Maxime Petit-déjeuner aka the Mario Brothers both asked me to ride their 2 strokes. Maxime asked me on Saturday if I wanted to try his 125 vespa deathtrap. It tried to kill me but I survived, ha! That was the scariest thing I've riddin so far, damn that thing was incredibly light, aggressive, fast and impossible to ride with that flimsie frontend. No feeling at all. It was like riding with a flat tire.. Now that I think of it, that probably was the problem. I was riding it on the (wrong side of the) road after the race. Most riders where riding on the track with almost no tire presure at all. Riding an almost flat knobby tire doesn't improve the handling very much I reckon. :) The next day Hubert Bastié said I could try his YZ250 on the campsite in the wet grass. That was a lot of fun :) I tried to get it sideways in the grassland without crashing. I failed miserably and I want to do it again. :) This was my first time on a proper dirttrack bike. No grip at all of course with the dirttrack tires on the wet grass so just before we went back to Amsterdam I had my share of dirt and fell of the Yamaha 2 times. I could not wipe that smile off my face the rest of the day. Thanks dudes for the ride! And thank you Dirt Quake for organizing this great! I'm hooked!
