The year 2009 was marked by a decline in spectator numbers. The dissatisfactory sponsorship situation must be adressed as well. Another critical point is the recruitment of young talents, since due to a lack of riders the 65cc Class stopped existing this year. Here however, help is already on the way in the form a new track being built at the club house in Olympia, which is suitable for children.

This was never seen in Namibia. On Saturday 12 FMX athletes of the IFMXF entered the African continent and jumped Windhoek for the NIGHT of the JUMPs into the ground. The air was burning on the FMX parkour at Tony Rust Race Track. Remi Bizouard gambled away in the qualifying and missed the finals. But in the end he could celebrate, as Podmol and Miralles only came up on fourth and fifth position. So the French rider has a lead of 23 points and defended his title.

The FIM Freestyle MX World Championships 2009 are close to it’s final decision. On upcoming Saturday the FMX riders will fight for the second last points of the World Cup at the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Windhoek/Namibia. Due to the security cancellation of the contests in Zagreb only 40 points are left to collect for the overall ranking. Last years World Champ Remi Bizouard leads with 27/28 points ahead of Jose Miralles and Libor Podmol. If the French rider wins at Tony Rust Race Track, he would defend his title automatic. Should Bizouard end up behind Miralles and Podmol, but looses only 7 or 8 points to them, he still would hold the crown.

After eight unsuccessful attempts to win the annual Namibian Motocross Inter-Series, Ross Branch from Botswana finally grabbed the coveted Jägermeister-Trophy last Saturday in style as well as the prize-money of N$ 25.000. All this in front of his parents who travelled all the way to Namibia. After the glorious victory the previous week in Swakopmund, it was the Team-Manager from Honda-South Africa who also decided to become a witness of Ross’ eternal victory in Namibia. Ross Branch won this event with a maximum number of 150 points, never achieved before in the 13 year long history of the Namibian Inter-Series.

This coming Saturday the 2nd leg of the 2009 Inter-Series will get staged at Gallina Motocross Park under the official name "Jägermeister - MX Dash for Cash". The famous Gallina Motocross Park is situated 15 Kilometres outside of Windhoek, on the road towards Okahandja.

This was a picture-book event, everything was just the way it’s supposed to be; excellent organisation by the host Namib Off-Road Club, a good number of spectators, first-class riders, and a maximum victory for the representative of the Bike & Quad Clinic Team from Botswana: Ross Branch.

Messrs Kingsley, internationally operating company and major player in the field of beverages and flavored soft-drinks has become main-sponsor of the 1st event of the Inter-Series to be held in Swakopmund on 7th November. A representative of Kingsley watched the last race in Swakopmund in October and was so impressed with the exciting motocross sport that in an ad-hoc descission sponsorship was offered. The Namib Off-Road Club is very grateful for this generous sponsorship.

Five sportsmen from Angola applied to partake in the 2009 Namibian Inter-Series. One of them Jose Teixeira, better known as ZE COMANDO. Jose Teixeira is at the same time the owner of Honda Muxima Racing, the official racing-team representing Pupkewitz Honda on national and international level in Motocross racing. This team exists since 2 years and is professionally run and extremly successful.
