I was really into motocross. I started racing when I was 10 years old and did very, very well. That was my dream, if anything, more than drumming.
I would love to drive a MotoGP but I'm not sure Ferrari agrees.
I am a racer. I'm not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That's what I do. I don't go on vacations. I don't take my family on vacations because I don't have a family. My family is the racing family.
The biggest thing is getting the kid in a kart - they have to buy it and that's the biggest thing. You can go to a sporting store and buy a basketball for 30 bucks or a football for 30 bucks. You go buy a go-kart and that's 300 bucks. What are you going to get? A basketball or a go-kart?
A guy came to the shop every day. A lot of guys put the foam like stuff that forms to you, kinda like the Indy car guys run. He fitted it up and it felt real good, so we're going to try to run it.
The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.
I raced motocross; I raced for Suzuki when I was a kid.
With roadracing, it takes a lot more time and money.
There's so much more power, so you're short-shifting all the way down into fifth, sixth, seventh before you can get the full throttle. But great fun otherwise.
I do want to race motorbikes when I retire.
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
I remember that Jackie [Stewart] was the first driver wearing flameproof underwear! What it definitely was: it was much more flamboyant. But that doesn't really make it better in my point of view.
