MXGP Treatment comp winners weekend - Take 1!

Well our 2014 MXGP Treatment competition winners weekend didn't go quite to plan although our winner Martin Foster and our team still had a great weekend and it all means we get to do it all over again.

This our worthy winner was 45 year old Martin who races in EVO meetings aboard his immaculate 1989 YZ125.  His email entry won us over explaining how he rocks up at meetings with his car, his bike on a trailer with his chief mechanic and friend from College Steve in tow. Yep old Skool.

The weekend kicked off for Martin with a suprise email containing good luck messages from DS racers and riders from all sports including legendary 3 X World MX Champion Dave Thorpe and current British MXGP star Tommy Searle.  (click the link on the side to view the vid)

The race meeting he was competing in was the 6th round of the British Evo Series at the Ham Lane track near Petersfield in Hampshire and by the time Martin had turned up the Duck Truck and DS set up was in place with dinner on the go.

Before the evening was out our winner was presented by a pimped up Thor race kit courtesy of our distibutors Madison with the printing done by our friends at Freestyle Extreme.

The Duck Truck was a bit of a squeeze but we all hit the bunks from there ready for a day of battle the next morning.    With the sun out, mechanic Steve was hooked up with a trick one off Pit board, (again thanks to our buddies at Freestyle Extreme and James at Print Shop Express), and the bike was prepped and lubed thanks to products supplied by Bel-Ray & Rapid Distribution.

All we thought was set to be an epic day as we headed down the track to watch Martin cruise round the track for his practice laps.  That was when the aforementioned YZ125 decided it was gonna have none of it and half way round lap 1 it stuttered to a halt, never to start again for the rest of the day.  Hours of frantic efforts to get the old girl back in the game were to no avail & with afternoon tea served up by our butler it was time to call it a day but not before Martin was given further goodies from Mark at Rapid Distribution in Torc1 grips, Bel-Ray lube and Risk Racing palm protectors on top of a large stash of DS cleaning goodies to keep the stubborn ol YZ gleaming.

So no video highlights package this time we are afraid but never fear we couldn't let Martin go without a full weekend of GP treatment so we will try again in a few weeks time and report back then.

A massive thanks to our distributors Madison and Rapid for supporting this weekend alongside Thor, Bel-Ray, Torc1 and Risk Racing as well as our friends at Freestyle Extreme and Print Shop Express.  Also all of the members of Team DS who sent in their good luck messages.

CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy & Duck Smart forge 2014 partnership!

Duck Smart cleaning products and The CLS Kawasaki Monster energy World Motocross team are proud to announce they will be working together in 2014.

The CLS team race in the World Motocross Championships, with top British contender Tommy Searle representing the team in the MXGP, with a team of 3 racers gunning for MX2 glory, with Dylan Ferrandis, Arnaud Tonus and Alessandro Lupino taking up that mantle.

Duck Smart's Paul Oughton said of the partnership “We worked with CLS in small way last year and were well looked after. We really like the way the team work, the commitment the riders have and the fact that the mechanics are always keen to give us feedback on our products. As a company that is always growing and creating products it is fantastic for us to work with a World Class team that are keen to work with us on developing our range of products. Also being a team that races all around the World, and with us growing in Europe it is good that we have the opportunity to work with CLS to grow our brand elsewhere”.

Duck Smart are based in Benfleet, Essex and have seen a rapid rise into the market in its short history due to its effective foaming, non caustic, and sweet smelling cleaning product range which has been created by the companies in house team and chemist. A company not shy in promoting themselves Duck Smart have increased its product range with a quick succession of new products which range from their Earth Mover Bike Cleaner, to MX kit cleaner to its Trainer cleaning kit.

Harrie Van Hout of CLS was equally pleased with the announcement that they will be working with Duck Smart in 2014. “Me and the team are really happy to continue to work together with Duck Smart. What started off with some small emails is now growing into a nice working relationship. The guys from Duck Smart are helpful and willing to listen to us to make their product range even bigger and better. When we first tried the Earth Mover, myself and the mechanics were really impressed at how good the cleaner was working and we really love the smell. Thanks to Duck Smart I’m sure our bikes will line up at the start gate as clean as the bikes have ever been.

The Dirt Bike Show 2013

So we are back from a hugely successful Dirt Bike show, and it was awesome that Mud Slider went and sold out.  As usual we got in amongst it and caused a bit of Duck Havoc.  

It was great also to have CLS Kawasaki's Tommy Searle as our special guest on Saturday, and it went down well with those who got signed posters, Duck Lanyards and pictures.  


Tommy also scrawled his name on the Duck Board with some other Motorcycle racing celebs so that is filling up fast, and will very soon be available for one of you lucky people to win.
