Today is my little brother Greg’s B-Day, so happy birthday buddy. Tonight we are going to the Calgary Flames hockey game which should be a lot of fun since Calgary has been on a roll the last few games. Greg’s girlfriend Dana, has great season tickets thru her work that she usually uses when she takes out customers. Tonight though, the three of us along with an old buddy from Airdrie will be going.
Over the past week ,I have been dealing with a lawyer regarding my contract and some Camp Cools stuff, and it’s no cheap thing! This lady, who is great by the way, charges $400 per hour, crazy!!! So all you kids who waste your time playing video games, put down the controller and grab a book! I would love to be lawyer at this rate$ but I guess I’ll make due being a BMX coach…!! Maybe one day I can charge that much for training as well, yeah right, in my dreams!
Most of you probably have already noticed that Swatch Watch out of Switzerland now sponsors me and my camps. They’ll be hooking up my trainers and I with watches that we’ll be wearing at all races and camps. I will also have a bunch of posters and stickers that I will be giving out at coming up camps for all the kids.
Another sponsor whose logo that I don’t have up, but always hooks me up is New Era Caps. Drew Van Iderstine out of Cochrane BMX is the man behind it all and has always been really good to my crew! Thanks Buddy!! I will have to post a few pictures of us looking good in the 59fifty lids but for now here is a picture of Marc Willer’s pride and joy.
And my pride and joy, diggin for gold!
Well it’s official, yesterday I signed my contract and am now the High Performance BMX Coach for New Zealand for the next 4 years. It puts me thru ’till just after the London Olympics in 2012. I’m pretty happy with everything and am really excited to get my family moved to Auckland and start helping out the country with some good coaching. I will be in charge of all the BMX stuff for the HP team and will also be working with BMX New Zealand on a few different things as well. Our arrival date into NZ will be the first week of December, a few weeks later then we first anticipated.
Separate from my job with BikeNZ, I will be running my Camp Cools training camps throughout the country to make training available for everyone. If you are a track member and would like for me to come to your track, please email me so we can get the wheels turning.
For the faithful Canadians who have supported me over the years, I will be in Canada for about 6 weeks in the summer where I will be doing select High Performance camps as well as my usual Training Clinics. I will only have a few weekends open so it would be a good idea for tracks to RSVP me ASAP.
Last weekend I went fishing with my Dad, Greg (brother) and one of my dad’s engineers, Adam. I took them to the spot that I went a few weeks ago and again it turned out well, all of us caught a fish. My Dad was the biggest of the day; I guess that’s what you get for being Dad.
Greg and Me, with my fish!
My Dad and Adam, with Dad’s fish!
Pool of fish we found.
I’m sitting in the Frankfurt (Germany) airport having a bite to eat in the lounge, not a place I want to be right now. My flight here from Nice was delayed for 2 hours due to the fog and I missed my connecting flight to Calgary. So now I have to spend the night here and fly out tomorrow afternoon. I’m taking advantage of the free beer and Internet before I head out to the hotel, sometimes it pays to be a frequent flyer and have Gold Card status! Haha. This is a bummer as the whole trip has been awesome, probably one of the best BMX trips to date. Both Marc and I had a great time (in more-ways-then-one..) so I guess if one thing has to go wrong it can be this.
Racing went pretty good for Marc; he rode well all weekend and had some pretty good laps. He breezed through his mottos and his quarterfinal but then didn’t make it out of his semi, but just barely. Marc was sitting in 2/3 for most of the track but going into the last turn he cased one of the jumps and slowed down a bit, enough to let Mikey Day catch up to him going into the turn. Mikey then gave Marc some love into the turn, putting him over it and slowing himself down enough that Arnaud Dubois (Belgium) took the last spot away from both of them. It was good racing though and unfortunately Marc got the short end of the stick but overall was pretty happy about the day. No one was disqualified, reprimanded or slapped on the ass… the way a race should be called, just leave it on the track.
David Herman won the race from the outside, the kid killed it in his main with the fastest gate of the weekend; had about a half a bike lead on everyone by his 3rd pedal. Herman is a great kid and is the only rider to win two super cross events this year, the other being Adelaide Australia. Pretty good for a 20-year-old kid from Colorado! Cisar also looked good all day (he never doesn’t look good) but also didn’t make it out of the Semi finals. With 90 fast guys racing, it was pretty tough to make the main here, there were lots of fast Jr. Euros here who I have a feeling will make their mark in the next couple of years.
Overall, the race and the venue were awesome. The track was a bit easier then they’ve been and this allowed for it to flow, making for great racing. The track was located just off the beach, which made it a bit windy at times but not so bad that it caused much of an issue. I really hope that they hold this race here again next year; in my opinion there is no place in the world that is more beautiful than the South of France.
While we were here, Marc and I hung out everyday with Steven Cisar and Nadia (Swatch Lady), which was great and very helpful as Nadia is from Switzerland and was a great translator for us. It was a great crew to hangout with at dinner and at night when we went out as we had some funny stuff happen to us.
Last Wednesday before all the BMX stuff started, Marc and I headed down to Saint Tropez, one of the more ’shi-shi’ locations on the French Riviera. Apparently Puff Daddy and Jay Z both have yachts in the harbor, those are some of the craziest boats I have ever seen. There is so much money in this place that you have to experience it to believe it, there’s no such thing as a fake Louis Vuitton bag here. I have seen more Lamborghinis, Ferrari’s and Massaraties in the past week in person then I have seen on TV my whole life. You don’t just see these cars, you feel them when they drive by you and, of course, most of them have a fat old dude driving them with a young super model in the passenger seat. Figures…
Usually at these races I’m always on the first plane home, but this time Marc and I decided to stay one extra day since we were already here. Yesterday, we drove up the coast to Monaco and then to Monte Carlo where we spent the day on the beach. We ended up at a restaurant that backed up onto the beach, fully equipped with everything you need to have a good day on the water. We felt like ballers all day, being served as we lay out on the beds sun tanning and taking the occasional dip in the Mediterranean Sea.
It was an awesome trip but I’m happy to be on the way home, back to my girls, even though it’s now delayed for a day. The supercross season is now over and doesn’t start again ’till April. It’s sad that there will be such a big break but I’m glad I don’t have to leave my girls for a long time; next year I hope to bring them to this race, Jenn would love the shopping here I’m sure.

Out for lunch, L-R (Marc Willers, Robert DeWilde, Mikey Day, David Herman, Kyle Bennett, Donny Robinson, Jerry (BMX Mania) Landrum, France Swatch Rep and Nadia (Swatch)

Last Friday I went fishing with my buddy Martin Galan who’s the dad of team rider Jack Galan. Martin took me just west of Okotoks up the Sheep River for some Trout and Mountain White Fish. It turned out to be a beautiful fall day out on the river and we both pulled in 4 fish, each of us had 3 White and 1 Rainbow trout. The day turned out to be great so thanks Martin, you’re the man.
I haven’t been updating the site very much lately, I guess when I’m home I would rather hangout with the girls then to be on my computer more than I have too be. However, tomorrow I am flying out to Frejus France for a UCI Super Cross race next weekend. On this trip its just going to be Marc and me as my mechanic Ryan Hollows just had his right shoulder re-constructed last week. Last year Marc won this race so he is really looking forward to getting back on the bike and to repeat in France.
Frejus is located between Monaco and Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera, one of the most beautiful places in the world. I’m pretty excited about going to this race, a step up from some of the places we have to go. I will make sure that I update over the next week since I will be in a hotel room with not much else to do during our down time.
This has been a pretty crazy time for Jenn and I, getting all of our stuff together to move to NZ, what a process. We are hoping to be in NZ the first week of November but are waiting on a few things from BikeNZ so we can dial in our plans, so we may take a few more weeks.
The most stress full part is selling off all of our bigger items, like vehicles and electronics. I have a 2003 Chevy Avalanche and a 2002 Mazda Protégé for sale if any one needs a new ride. Email me if you want some more info, this week I will post a list of items we have for sale. kencools@shaw.ca
See you in France.
Here are some pictures from the opening ceremonies in China.
