JD:  Good, how are you? 

MMX.com:  Good Thank You.  Is Mark still in good shape and planning on coming out to Loretta’s?

JD:  Yes he is. 

MMX.com:  What would be a good time to call him back I wanted to talk to him about some stuff.

JD:  You can talk to him right now.  Hold on one second…

  Mark Davis:  Hello?

 MMX.com:  Mark how are you doing?

MD:  Pretty good… 

MMX.com:  My name is Bruce Campbell and I work for Loretta’s and I wanted to talk to you about something.  We randomly chose your name from some of the riders that will be attending Loretta’s this year.  We were wondering if you’d be interested in wearing some camera equipment while you race.

MD:  Ummm…sure 

MMX.com:  Okay, just need some information.  First off how much do you weigh?

MD:  I weigh 118. 

MMX.com:  118 pounds, Wow, okay.  Your bike, how much do you think it weighs?

MD:  Uhhh, not sure, probably 150 pounds I guess.

 MMX.com:  Okay, when you go off a jump, like say…a 30-footer, what gear do you usually have it in?

MD:  Third. 

MMX.com:  Umm, are you a hairy person, cause we’ll be taping it too you with like 6…tee feet or so of tape.

MD:  What did you just say?

 MMX.com:  (Stifles chuckle)  Uh, do you have a lot of body hair cause if you do you may want to get a good wax job done before we tape all the equipment to your skin

MD:  (Pause) Uh… yeah that’s fine,  I don’t have that much hair.

 MMX.com:  Okay, lastly, the equipment you’ll be using is cutting edge, we’ll be able to use gyroscoping multi-angle camera technology, but it’s a lot of equipment.  Do you wear anything beyond a chest protector, helmet and the standard stuff?

MD:  No,  usually stick with the basic things.

 MMX.com:  Well, it’s going to be about 95 pounds of equipment…

MD:  What!? 

MMX.com:  Some of it we can put on you bike, but still about 70 pounds will be on your body.

MD:  I don’t know about that…

 MMX.com:  Well, we can train you up to it.  You could wear a back pack filled with engine parts and stuff like that.

MD:  (Trying to be nice) I don’t know… 

MMX.com:  What about riding with like someone high on your back?

MD:  I… I don’t know…9 pounds did you say.

 MMX.com:  (Laugh) I wish.  95.

MD:  Umm…(pause) I don’t…(pause)…I gueeeesss…

 MMX.com:  So you ‘ll try it then?

MD:  Yeah, I’ll try it…

 MMX.com:  No, I’m kidding man it’s Ese’ from MarylandMotocross.com?

MD:  (Laugh) 

MMX.com:  I want to start off by saying congratulations on making it to Loretta’s and see if you still had time for an interview?

MD:  Thank you and sure

 MMX.com:  Sorry about the camera prank, it was Mike’s idea, you can yell at him for that. 

MD:  (Laugh)  I didn’t even think about that. 

 MMX.com:  I told him I don’t think he’ll wear 95 pounds and he was like (deep voice) “Just do it Ese’…”

MD:  (Laughing) That was insane.  When you said “95 pounds”  I was thinking I really don’t know about all that.   

MMX.com:  Last time I saw you, you were fresh out of your cast and now you’re going to Loretta’s.  Do you fell pretty excited; pretty pumped?

MD:  Yup.  Yup, I do.

 MMX.com:  For those who aspire to go to Loretta’s what kind of advice or training methods would you recommend to them?

MD:  Train as hard as you can and as often as you can.

 MMX.com:  So you didn’t use any specific methods?  Anything you improved on this year? Things you did to get here?

MD:  I just trained hard and kept my head up high.  Did everything and practiced everything.  Just got out there and rode A-LOT.

 MMX.com:  What’s your favorite track to go to?

MD:  Probably Happy Ramblers.  It’s got good lines and good jumps

 MMX.com:   I hear a lot of good stuff about that track.  We know your’e number 566; is there any significance behind that?

MD:  Actually I changed my number to 56.

 MMX.com:  Did you really?  Well you heard it right here folks, breaking new's Mark Davis changes his number from 566 to 56, the full story at 6, after the weather…

MD:  (Laugh)

MMX.com:  Who would you say some of your closest friends in motocross are?

MD:  Zach Herrington, Mark Garvey, Chad <”The Ricky Martin of Motocross”> Wadges, (Laugh) everybody I guess, can’t really name them all…too many.

 MMX.com:  Yeah I notice that you roll around with different peeps.  Okay, so what is your least favorite track to go to?

MD:  Don’t really have a “least favorite”.  If it’s hard for me, I just look at it as a challenge.
