Visit to Kuwait International Motocross Challenge 2012

Guru Hegde — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 21:15:21 +0000

My first ever visit to an International Motocross Bike Race was with mixed emotion of happiness and pride. Sure you judged the reason for my happiness, but the pride was for a simple reason of having an Indian rider “Jinan Chellikkattil Dasan” representing my country at an International Level and the final icing with a win in the 4th place. Jinan who represented the Liberty Kawasaki team from UAE, hails from Thrissur in Kerala. A total of 22 countries featuring 45 contestants participated in this tournament including teams from US, France, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, South Africa, Switzerland and Belgium.

The day as forecasted turned dusty with strong winds by noon, with my commitment back to office I packed my camera gears, only after witnessing few spectacular moments of passion, speed, control and power. The event was well organized and witnessed by more of photographers from Media, Groups, as well as Individuals and Blogger’s, but lacked the general spectators. The reason could be the unpredictable weather…. (as usual over the weekends).

Overall, I did have a good time and also had the opportunity to meet few fellow photographers.

Winners:

1st place – Chris Moakley, Switzerland (MX1 Class), Mohammad Jaffar, Kuwait (MX2 Class) and Sulaiman Al-Mislem, Kuwait (ClubMan Class)
