Nicolas Rius got injured Multi National and World Champion Frenchman Nicolas Rius got injured while he was testing his new Turbo charged Yamaha VXR. Nicolas had a 90+mph accident and he was transferred immediately at the hospital where he got under examination and it was confirmed that he suffered from broken ribs. As he mentioned in his own words: “Just came back from doctor and the results are not good!! broken ribs after a 90mph crash because a broken scoop grate on the Vxr turbo!! That was the most insane crash I ever have and I'm thinkfull that I'm still alive.” We hope that the popular Frenchman would have a speedy recovery and he will show up at full strength at the World Finals where he plans to compete in two classes.

UIM Freestyle World Champion Ivan Potanin visited Greece last week not only for holidays but also to test his new FORCE IP5 freestyle craft. Ivan came along with his family and stayed near Yalova. His project partner Frenchman Pascal Barriac with his mechanic Jeremy came along in order to prepare and the crafts and to support the overall progression of FORCE IP5 project. The whole Team spent a week on testing and evaluating several parts of this special project Freestyle craft.

Dustin and Tyron Motzouris are practicing on their skis prior their participation for the World Finals. Both riders own two-stroke Kawasaki’s on this photo are illustrated on four-stroke skis. We have published in the past that Dustin had tested the four-stroke ski and he amazed by the power-band of the turbo-charged engine. Yet, it is not known whether the two brothers will compete on a two-stroke or four-stroke at the World Finals.

What does Dustin Motzouris doing when he is not ridding his stand up Ski? Well, obviously he is having fun riding his Ultra 300X or even racing it, just to remember the good old days when he was a factory rider for Team Kawasaki. It has not been confirmed yet whether he will compete in Pro Runabout at the World Finals with Team Kawasaki. Kawasaki has renewed for 2011 Dustin Farthing’s contract and Craig Warner has remained in the Factory Team too. On the other hand Dustin Motzouris is being sponsored by Monster Energy and the latter is still cooperating with Kawasaki. Therefore, if Monster Energy put the money then we might see Dustin Motzouris competing in Pro Runabout too at the World Finals.
