DK: It doesn't really make any difference to me what type of bike I race indoors. I can race a two- or a four-stroke. I've been racing a four-stroke [in EX] this season because that's what I've been racing in cross-country events. Changing from one bike to another can take a little time, which is why I stuck to a four-stroke. I really enjoy riding the 450 indoors. A lot of riders prefer two-strokes because they're lighter and easier to start, but four-strokes have smoother power, which I like. It really doesn't make a lot of difference to me what I ride, just as long as I have a little time to get used to it and set it up.
DR: And you have these little trials bikes running around, too.
DK: I'm not really a big fan of having trials bikes compete in the events. Do I think it's an advantage riding a trials bike? Over the rocks and logs it is. I'm not sure that allowing trials bikes, or even trials tires, in EnduroCross events is a good thing. Half the fun of indoor racing is seeing what you can achieve on a motocross or cross-country bike with off-road ires. That's what makes it so exciting. I think it would make for better racing if trials bikes weren't allowed to compete.
DR: And next year...
DK: I'll start the '08 GNCC series knowing what to expect, so with my bike set upproperly, I know I can be much stronger an faster than I was this year. I don't think winning each and every round of the championship next year is out of the question. I'm not being big-headed, but if I can avoid injuries and get my bike set up well, then I think it's possible. It's down to me really. I won't ride above myself if things aren't going well; I know I don't need to win every race to win the championship. For '08 I'll be ready to defend my title.
