From the culture that taught you how to rape and pillage, Scandinavia is making yet another contribution to the motorcycling world with this latest video. Featuring Danish Supermoto Champion Andreas Mikkelsen, we get a RoToR camera-esque perspective (this rig is actually home made) on the Dane's practice session at the Als Supermotard Club in Denmark. It's videos like this that are slowly eroding my will-power to resist getting into supermotard riding. Also, I don't know who was in charge of the music selection on this thing, but my hat is off to him/her. I love the nightlife. I've come to boogie.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/andreas-mikkelsen-danish-supermoto-video/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: This is How You Thank Your Sponsors</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/luc1-supermoto-sponsor-video/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/luc1-supermoto-sponsor-video/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:19:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Banter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[France]]></category> <category><![CDATA[French Supermoto National Championship]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Luc1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sponsors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sylvain Bidart]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26888</guid> <description><![CDATA[Winning the French Supermoto National Championship, Sylvain Bidart and the Luc1 team have a lot to be thankful for this year, and they of course couldn't have achieved their victory without the help of their sponsors. So the French team put together a video, with some more-than-strategic product placement for the team's main sponsors: Honda, Michelin, Ixon, &#038; Intermarché. Is it a nine minute rolling advertisement for these brands? Absolutely. Did we watch it six times and giggle like little girls? Maybe...yeah, yeah we did.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/luc1-supermoto-sponsor-video/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>30</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Riding the BRD RedShift SM</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/brd-redshift-sm-riding-video/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/brd-redshift-sm-riding-video/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:12:19 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD Motorcycles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD RedShift SM]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD RedShit SM prototype]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Infineon Raceway]]></category> <category><![CDATA[prototype]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RedShift SM]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26876</guid> <description><![CDATA[During our chance to ride the BRD RedShift SM prototype, Wes Rowe was on-hand to document the event with photos and video. Sidelined by legal technicalities at Infineon Raceway (damn lawyers), Wes still managed to grab enough footage from outside the fenced-in perimeter of the karting track, and made this short promo video of the BRD RedShift SM.

Taking ICE bikes head-on in the supermoto and off-road categories, the BRD RedShift doesn't want to be the best electric for the job, it wants to be the best motorcycle of any kind for your needs. And in this regard, we are very excited to see the progress that BRD has already made with the RedShift thus far.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reviews/brd-redshift-sm-test-ride/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>25</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Behind the Scenes with the BRD RedShift</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/brd-redshift-video/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/brd-redshift-video/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Sep 2011 12:51:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BRD RedShift]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marc Fenigstein]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RedShift]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sam Erickson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[San Francisco]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermotard]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=25116</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dropping us an email from across The Bay, the guys at BRD sent us this cool video by Sam Erickson, which follows the BRD team as they got ready to launch the BRD RedShift electric supermotard.

With a goal of meeting or exceeding parity with gasoline-powered two-wheelers, BRD's first foray into the motorcycle industry is an interesting one, as the RedShift line brings true 250cc four-stroke power to the electric realm. Producing 40hp from the company's proprietary water-cooled AC motor, the BRD RedShift SM produces more power than a Honda CRF250R while tipping scales at less than 250 lbs in supermoto trim (less than 240 lbs in MX-spec).]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/brd-redshift-sm/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>14</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Dani Pedrosa Out for Silverstone &#8211; And Then Some?</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/dani-pedrosa-out-silverstone/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/dani-pedrosa-out-silverstone/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:52:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rumors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[British GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[collarbone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dani Pedrosa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hiroshi Aoyama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HRC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[injury]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kousuke Akiyoshi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Repsol Honda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rumor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[San Carlos Gresini Honda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shoulder]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Silverstone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=22562</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dani Pedrosa on his blog today announced that he would not compete in the British GP at Silverstone next weekend, instead opting to heal his collarbone further, which he broke a the French GP several weeks ago.

Said to have German technology with Italian design, the new Husky will be a middleweight adventure bike that features a BMW F800GS parallel-twin motor that's been increased to 900cc in displacement, which makes it not too dissimilar from the Husqvarna Mille 3 concept (shown above) we saw last year at the Italian trade show.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/husqvarna-street-bike-confirmed/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>12</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>2010 Husqvarna SM630 Debuts at EICMA</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2010-husqvarna-sm630/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2010-husqvarna-sm630/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:43:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010 Husqvarna SM630]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Husqvarna]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Husqvarna 630]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SM630]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermoto]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=6526</guid> <description><![CDATA[For 2010, Husqvarna continues to update its supermoto line with the 2010 Husqvarna SM630, the successor to the popular SM610.
