Nick Franklin Checks In

Kiwi FMX ripper Nick Franklin had a pretty turbulent start to the year with a multiple injuries, but once back on the bike he was straight back to good form and riding a swag of shows and demos all around the globe. He hit us up with an update and some stats of his travels...

In NZ earlier in the year i had some injuries, separated my shoulder then a month later my bike bogged and i broke 5 bones in my elbow and wrist so i didn't ride as many events as i wanted earlier in the year. Plus the Red Bull X fighters qualifying sessions which i was invited to was canceled from rain where i was aiming to do well. Lucky the rest of the year has been really good so here are my events and some of the stats...

- Red Bull X-Fighters jam at V8 Supercars, Hamilton - 40,000 crowd

- Red Bull X-Fighters jam at World Rally Championships, Auckland -  5000 crowd

- Erzberg Rodeo - 5000 crowd

- Red Bull X-Fighters jam in Bosnia, Banja Luka - 10,000 crowd

- Red Bull X-Fighters Jam, Peru - 10,000 crowd

- Monster Jam, Antwerp Belgium - 10,000 crowd

- Monster Jam, Birmingham England -  10,000 crowd

- Monster Jam, Arnham Holland - 70,000 crowd

The rest of the year is looking good with Red Bull X-Fighter jams in India and Turkey, and other events in England, Germany and Sweden! And of course NZ, including Monster Jam evets and Race of Champions.

I would like to take the time to thanks all my sponsors for their support and love!
