It was so good to
escape the temperamental gloomy UK summer weather and spend a week with Nick
Franklin and FMX4Ever crew at the Club Magic Life resort on the coast of
Antalya, Turkey, where the sun beamed down all day every day and the
temperature never dropped below 30 degrees. Freerider MX asked me to hook up
with Franky for a feature story which will run in an upcoming issue, and thanks
to Redbull, who covered my flight there, the week turned out to be a lot of fun
and I had a great time hangin out with the lads surrounded by 2500 Austrian
students. I managed to shoot three of their shows with the highlight being the
last with the guys jumping over the resort pool full of rowdy girls and guys.
Here’s a few photos for you to check out, remembering I’ve saved the best for
the pages of FRMX, which you have to wait to see in a month or two.

Life resort, Antalya, Turkey.
Capt: The FMX4Ever
crew on hand from left: Brooke, Eve, Stoica and Franky.
Capt: See if you
can spot Franky amongst those girls. That’s Norman left lapping it up.
Capt: Eve spinning
it up where he shouldn’t be, typical freestyle behaviour at shows in strange
places.
Capt: Dutch rider
Norman is pretty new to FMX but is a fast learner and rode solid on the
portable set-up.
Capt: It’s all part
of the job and Stoica handles it well. The guy also makes killer graphics,
check his site www.stoicagraffix.com
Capt: Eve made a
deal that if he rode naked there’d also have to be girls in the pool do the
same. I think he got the arse-end of the deal though.
Capt: Franky had the girls lining up at the end of each show.
