August 11th 2010
Kia Ora,
Now I am in Hong
Kong airport waiting for my flight back to
Malaysia, then I will only
have 24hours in Malaysia to catch a flight to New Zealand for one month holiday with my family and friends.
The event in China
did not go so well, Angus Lai from "Power Sport"
who ask me to
come over and ride for his team had some problems with the promoter. The promoter of the event has his own team "JR racing" racing in the same event and did not want me to race as I would win the race and make his riders not look good so I only did a demo ride. It was still a good event and also good for me to meet new people and to come back again in Sept/Oct to do more racing and coaching.
The event was held
in a small town called "Kun Ming" and there was
so many people
at this event, maybe 30,000 or more! No room to move around and they even had to cancel one of the races because to many people.
I now have about a
month off racing so I am heading back to New
Zealand to spend
some time with my family, been two years since I have been home so I am really looking forward to getting back and catching up with everyone. I am going to be back in Malaysia on Sept 16th, I will still put up some updates about my time in New Zealand and also my training and what I have coming up.
Hope you are all
well, thank you for all the support I am
getting. Big thanks to all my
sponsors also! I have attach some photos also :)
August 4th 2010
Hi everyone
Sorry the past two weeks
have been very busy and not much time to jump on my
laptop
to send out a update to you all :)
I had my last race in
Iceland on July 24th 2010 at a track called
Solbrekka near
to Iceland's famous "Blue Lagoon" The racing did not go so well for me in the first race I went from leading the race to drop back to 10th place! Myself was not feeling so good and was having many problems with arm pump also my bike was not setup for the track so for the last race "Atli & JoiKef" made some big changes to my bike which help me as I got the hole shot and was leading the race but about 8 laps into the race when I was feeling really good the back half of the frame on the bike snap in half so I had to pull out of the race! So my last race in Iceland did not go so well but the first two races I did in Iceland was great and I was happy with that.
After the last round in
Solbrekka, Iceland on July 27th I got on a flight
back to Malaysia.
As soon as I was back in Malaysia I was back into my training getting ready for a Mt bike race in Putrajaya, Malaysia. I was on a team made up of one rider from Australia and one German rider. Our team was sponsored by BMW with the new BMW Mt bikes which were so great to ride! Our team 'ROBO102.COM" got 7th out of 45 teams which was okay since we started in last place as our first rider was late to the start line as he was on the toilet :)
Now I am in Hong Kong
getting ready to fly out to China tomorrow afternoon
to race
at the last round of their China Motocross Ming" I will be riding a 2010 Kawasaki 250f which is going to be good since that is the bike brand I race on in Asia. The race is on August 7th & 8th so I will update you all when I get near to a wifi cafe.
Thanks for all the
support and everyone who is backing me! Huge thanks
to everyone
in Iceland at Nitro for all the support and everyone else who has help me in some way thanks again!
26th June 2010
Hi everyone!
So now I am in Iceland
the now so famous place for the volcano that burst
and was
on the news all across the world.
I got into Iceland on
July 21st and as soon as I got here the first thing
i could see
was it is day light 24 hours 7 days a week! So can go riding when ever you want and do my training. As soon as I was in Iceland I went and got a bike from Nitro who are so great for giving me a good deal and support while I am here with a Kawasaki 450f which is the same bike I ride back in Malaysia.
I spent the rest of the
week getting setup and ready for the coming weekend
event
the "Lex Games" which was held at Bolarda about 15mins out of Reykjavik. Saturday I had one motocross race and a freestyle event. First up was the motocross and it started off with a big bang with me and top rider Gulli #111 going bar to bar in the first turn but as we hit the first jump he went off the track and went down which left the door open for me to make a run away with the lead for the first half of the race, but as the race went on I started to make many mistakes and also alittle tired so another one of the top riders "Aron #66" was able to catch me and make the pass on me which drop me back into 2nd place and that is where I end up over all in the race.
Straight after the race
I had a 10min break and then went over to the
freestyle event
where they had a ramp with about a 80ft gap jump. I went out and did my show and put in a nice run with some tricks and some huge whips to get me a 2nd place overall in that event.
I was very happy with my
weekend, I could of done better in the motocross but
it will
take time to get use to the tracks here and also the cold. I have a week till my next race here again in Iceland so I will be spending the week doing my training and putting in lots of time on my bike.
I will update you after
next weekends race event, I have attach some photos.
Thanks to everyone for
all the support and also my sponsors!
6th June 2010
Took off on Saturday
5th of June across to Kuala Bera which is about
a three hour drive
east of KL City to a motocross event. When we made it to Kuala Bera we went straight to the track and got things all setup and checked out the track.
The track was new
and had just been built so it was alittle soft
in some places, I only
did one 20min ride on the track on Saturday to get use to the track and then head back into town to get some rest for Sundays racing.
Sunday morning we
all head out to the race track and it was a nice
day but very hot,
had a huge turn out of riders and fans which was great to see.
I had a good two
races, I won both of my races from start to
finish. You really had to be
sure to get the hole shot as the track was very dry from the sun so it was very dusty and hard to see even when you are in 1st place.
After all the races
we head back to KL city to get some dinner and
talk about the
racing. I had a good time and was good to see Kuala Bera, I'm now trying to sort out what I will have coming up in the next month or two. August I will be back in New Zealand for a few weeks to spend time with family and friends. I think my next race will be this weekend coming in Thailand or end of June but I will keep you all up to date on whats to come.
I have attach some
photos from the weekend, hope you all had a good
weekend also.
Thanks to Chear
Motor and the team for all the help, also all my
sponsors!
Had a fun weekend up north in Ipoh racing at the Perak Motocross.
The event was very
good with lots of riders and also a huge crowed came out to see all the weekends racing. I was racing in the the Open MX class, with only just two races on the Sunday and each race being 20mins plus 2 laps. Saturday went well, the track was alittle dry but still okay. The track had some huge jumps to put on a good show. Saturday night got some good rain so the track was going to be alittle wet Saturday morning but good as it will keep the dust down for the racing on Sunday. My racing on Sunday went well, my bike was well setup thanks to Chear Motor and Kawasaki Malaysia. I won both of my races from start to finish, had some close racing on the first two laps but I was feeling good and fit so was able to pull a lead over 2nd place. This weekend on June 6th I have a race in Kuala Bera Kg, Malaysia. I'm looking forward to it as I am getting lots of race time now on my bike and feeling good. I am really happy with my bike and also the job the team is doing for me. Would like to thank all my sponsors and Team Chear Motor for all the help over the weekend. Will update you after next weekends event, till then have a good week ahead! James ROBO Robinson
25th May 2010
I'm back in Malaysia
after being up in Thailand for the past four days
but it almost came
close to me not going to Thailand a few days before as I was riding my road bike home and got hit by a truck. I was very lucky to only have a few cuts and just my right foot got twisted.
I spent a few days
resting with ice on my foot then when Thursday came
around I chose
to drive to Thailand and do the racing and see how I go. I got to Thailand "Krabi" on Friday morning and spent Friday doing a warm up ride and test out my bike also see how my foot was going to be.
After Fridays warm up my
foot was not to bad so on Saturday morning I went
out and
did the A open heat race which did not go well for me as I crashed out of the race and did not finish but lucky it was only a heat race. Sunday was the big day, I was feeling good all day and my foot was a little sore but fine to race with.
In the A class I got a
good start and was leading for awhile until I made a
few mistakes
so I drop back to 5th but then got my rhythm back and work my way back up into 2nd. The race was very close and was anyone's race to win but with the track being very tight and hard to pass on it made it a very one line race track.
After getting 2nd in the
A class I had one more race in A open, before the A
open they
had a freestyle show with about 8 riders so I went out and did a two lap show and then it was up to the crowed to cheer for who was the one they like... so after all the cheers I got 1st, I was very happy.
After the freestyle show
we had the A open race so everyone lined up and was
ready to
go, I got a good jump out of the gate and was first into the turn but another rider hit me behind which made me make a mistake in the turn so I came out running in 2nd place so I push hard to get back into 1st and went to take the inside line but what I did not know was that before the race they had put water down on the track on the in side lines of the track so I was sliding all around the turn and drop back five places!
After that I was trying
my best to get back up into the top three but could
only make it
into 4th place and ran out of time and power to do any better, still I was very happy with my riding and racing. I need to get out more on tight supercross style tracks as that is all the Thailand riders race on there.
This week I am just
trying to get my foot back to 100% and then Friday I
will head up to
Ipoh for racing on Saturday and Sunday. I am really looking forward to it as the track is lots of fun and very fast.
I will send out my next
update after next weekends racing, hope you all had
a good
weekend and have a safe week ahead.
Thanks to all my
sponsors!

Hi everyone
Everything has been busy
the past month with running my ROBO-MX coaching schools
around parts of Malaysia, the coaching is going really well and the riders are doing great. I have one rider in Port Dickson who is 8 years old that looks like he is going to be racing very soon.
24-04-2010 - I had a race
in Malaysia, Dusun which was held part of some elections
that was going on in Malaysia.
The event was lots of fun
and the track was good as it had a mix of sand and dirt
with
some nice jumps to put on a great show for all the people that came out to see the racing. I won the Open class on my sponsord Chear Motor, KXf450 Kawasaki.
My next event is going to
be in two weeks in Thailand, Trang on 09-05-2010 and
then
in Malaysia, Putrajaya on 16-05-2010.
Thanks for all the

Hi everyone
Just back from racing in
Cambodia at the 2010 Total Cambodian Motocross
Championship. This year I was able to ride much better than last year with all the training I have been putting in over the past few months. I went away winning the event with a 1st in moto one and a 4th in moto two. The first race was more easy than my last race, I got 2nd around the first turn and was able to make a past into 1st by lap three, then ride away with the win.
The last race of the day was
not so good, I got the same start and was pushing to get
into 1st place while trying to make the pass out of a corner into a jump my bike washed out over the jump and I crashed but was able to get back up and make my way from 6th back up into 4th to get the points to still win the over all.
Now I'm back in KL
Malaysia and now getting ready for my next race this
coming
weekend at the Malaysian Motocross Championships 2010 - Round 1 on 6-7 Mac 2010 venue at Sutera Mall, Skudai, Johor.
I will keep you all up to
date after this weekend.
Thanks for all the support
and all my sponsors!

1st November 2009 - Win's Ayer Hitam Motocorss
The last update I sent to you I
was busy with coaching some
Malaysian riders for the up
and coming motocross race in Ayer Hitam. The event was a great weekend for me and Chear Motor with me walking away with 1st place.
The event was huge with allot of
riders and people from all
around Malaysia made their
way out to the Ayer Hitam race track to come see the racing. I was riding my Team Chear Motor KXf450 Kawasaki and the Chear Motor Team did a great job of keeping my bike running and looking good all weekend.
I was really happy with my
riding going with a 1st in race
one then a 2nd and a 3rd in the
last two races to take the overall win for the event. I had a crash in race three but rode smart to get points to make sure I had the overall win.
Now I have some small events
coming up with a race in Bali
and also in Cambodia.
Thank you to all my sponsors and the people who support me every weekend.
25th October 2009 - Robo MX Coaching School - Ayer Hitam
Sorry
it has been awhile since I have sent out an
update on what I have been doing,
have been really busy with coaching and some racing. It was fasting month so the racing was slow for awhile but now picking back up with an event this coming weekend.
Last
weekend I ran one of my ROBO MX coaching schools
down in Ayer Hitam for a
group of Malaysian Kawasaki motocross riders. It went really well and they all had a great time, the riders in Malaysia are picking up some great speed and I hope at some stage they will start racing around the Asia Pacific as they would be able to make it in the top 5 at the Asian Pacific races.
Apart
from coaching I have been keeping up with my
training while there was no racing,
now I have a lot of events coming up in Bali, Malaysia and Thailand.
I will
send out an update after this weekends event,
hope all is well for you and thank
you to all my sponsors and everyone else that supports me.
9th August 2009 - Indonesia Motocross Championships
Just back last night from racing
in Indonesia at round three of the Axioo Motocross
Championship in Indonesia in a small city called Jember. Everything on Saturday went great as I got the 3rd fastest lap time in time qualifier for the racing on Sunday. But then everything started to change on Sunday as the bike I was riding on started to play up and was not running so good.
Moto one - Got a really bad
jump out of the start gate but made some passes in the
first turn which got me into around 12th place. After the first few laps I was in the top five and going really well until I went to go make a pass over the step up jump and the rider in front of me crash so when I went to land off the jump I went straight into him and his bike then I also went down hard. After I got up I found myself almost in last place but rode hard to get myself back into 12th place from 20th.
Moto two - After that really
bad first race I just wanted to put it behind me and just do a
really good last race, I was feeling good and focused. I got a good start was in 7th on the first lap, I started to make some passes and got myself into 4th and started to set myself up for 3rd place but then the bike started to make some really bad sounds... I kept on riding the bike and then when I went to go do the step up jump my chain came off the bike and it just locked up and stopped breaking all the rear wheel. There was nothing I could do but just sit on the side of the track and wait for the race to finish.
Now back in Malaysia I am looking
back on the weekend a little disappointed with
myself but on the other hand I still gave it 100% and could not ask for anything better. The promoter is going to get me a new bike for the next round so I am really looking forward to that. This weekend there is racing in Sepang Motocross track on 16-08-2009 so I am looking forward to that and also my Mum and Dad are going to be here for the next few weeks.
Thanks again to all my sponsors and
everyone that supports me!
19th July 2009 - Indonesia Motocross Championships
I have just came back from racing in
Lombok, the event had nothing to do with the
championship but just a one off event that they have every year. Same as last weekend I was winning the race with 5 laps to go and then my rear shock bolt came out of the bike which made me have to pull out of the race and I could not finish the race. After that the team did lots of work on the bike and got everything fixed up and ready for the last race, I got off to an okay start and was running in 4th place got up into 2nd and then on lap six I went to make a pass for the lead but came into the turn to fast and crashed, but I was still able to keep the bike running so I got up very fast and still finish in 2nd place.
Now I am back in Malaysia getting
ready for the next round of the Indonesia Motocross
Championships in Jakarta on Aug 9th. Before that event in Indonesia I have been ask to do four days of bike stunts for a new movie so I am really looking forward to doing that.
Thanks again to all my sponsors and
everyone for the support, and hope all is well.
12th July 2009 - Indonesia Motocross Championships
Went to Jember, Indonesia for the
second round of the Indonesia motocross
championships. The weekend did not go to well for me as I spent the weekend with bike problems which had me running in 10th in race one and another 10th in race two. I was not so happy with how the bike was running and also the rear brake was not working. I am still running in the top 5 in the championship close behind Thailand and Australia. The next round will be on Aug 9th in Jakarta. |
