We had the first generation of the POD brace for years and although there were things on that brace that you would have like to maybe be improved, it was still a great knee brace at a really affordable price. In my opinion, the first generation of the POD's made high quality knee protection available to the average Joe. Instead of resting on the product they had spent years developing, POD went to work on make the brace even better while still keeping it in the sweet spot http://mxdaily.com.au/articleView.html?articleId=933&rssView=rssView http://mxdaily.com.au/articleView.html?articleId=933&rssView=rssView Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:11:07 +1000 KTM, the market leader in offroad motorcycles has signed Roger DeCoster, one of the true icons of the sport of motocross to take over the management of the company's new factory team in the USA.

He lives out of the way in Atheron, an hour up into the hills of Cairns, so not many people are able to see what goes on while Todd is practicing for either the MX Nationals of Super X.

Coming into this year, I knew that I would have to work really hard to be competitive at the top level of our sport. At the start of the AMA Supercross season back in January, I knew that I had the physical part of my training regime down, but I would just have to wait for the gate to drop to see how I stacked up to the competition.
