Boris: It clearly sucks to be you so far this
season, huh? So when you come home
to NZ having disgraced your nation and
shamed your ancestors, do you spend some
time soul-searching, or do you just go out
on the piss and hope to forget the horror? I get back. Two boys and a wife who are
craving attention, and then when no-one’s
looking I’ll be out doing Motos in my KZ2
Kart, riding my motocross bike, or hiding in
my garage restoring some old MX bike for
my collection.
Sloan: I am lucky I don’t often drink, but
the first person I see when I get home is my
wife who is pregnant and has just spent five
days looking after our other two crazy little
boys, paying the bills, and answering my

beautiful, you feel like you’re on holiday, the
crowds turn up in force, the track is easy
and fun. My father comes to this round
because he is the poor bugger that drives
my van all the way up and back. Dad’s
not one to hold back with his constructive
criticism though, much like my wife...
