5th Round of the National Motocross Championship

Alex got hole shot

There was always a "luck" factor behind everything that we do. Just like Alex here, for the last race he did not get the best. Unlucky, he's not healthy enough for the race because of the last wound he got and it wasn't  fully recover yet, and the bruised around his knee kept distracting him. Then also the distant between the 5th and 6th National Championship is too close so Alex did not get enough time for practicing.

It wasn't a smooth race, not the best for an Alex, although he kept pushing himself to the limit. He was still have to hold his knee pain, so he wasn't lucky for his performance because of his healthiness, and he finished at 5th place for Int'l Championship and 3rd for National Championship. Even though, he got hole shot for this moto 1, that's Alex! :)

moto 2

At moto 2, the pain getting worse since he got 7th place. He thinks that there were no problem to beat the other local rider, it was just because of his injuries. He just got some complications with Jernej Irt (the toughest rider)



He promises to his supporters and his mates to do the best for the following Championship, he will get a hard mx practice and he will maintain his health as well.  

the intoxicating smile


P.S: Do you know that Sep, 19th is Alex's birthday. Say your best greeting, wishing, and pray here at his accounts. :)

National Motocross Championship #5

R one

Round 4 National Motocross Championship held at Mortoloyo Circuit, Tegal. This round held after a very loooong summer break, and Alex was ready to beat it! For your information, the type of this circuit is sandy and dry.

Moto 1

The day before the race Alex had a smooth qualification, Alex got an advantage for getting #5 position at qualification. Alex kept nailing the International rider until the last lap and he kept on his position then finally he got #3 International Champion and #1 for National Champion for Moto 1.

Moto 2

For Moto 2 there were some random complications, Alex crashed at R1 with his team-mate Aldi Lazaroni #88, Agi Agassi #17 and Lewis Stewart, so that he should beat the track from behind the line. Because of that accident Alex should hold the bruised pain on his knee. Until he continued  for several lap, Alex fell once again, and his right arm hurt so bad and he got wound on his palm because of lack of motocross practice -he had to admit it- so he couldn't maximally race. Unlucky he finished 14th place.

Alex also featured at some online websites here at Maniak Motor






Please pray for Alex's healthiness so he can get another podium for the next Championship at Sept, 16th at Ciamis, West Java. And do not forget to watch this match at MNC Sport Channel, Friday 7.30 p.m if I'm not mistaken.

(litteraly) PINK BEACH


Hi mates! how are you going? Alex is doing great, he's preparing for the next Championship and adventuring of-course :) Well, recently, Alex's blog is about beach and traveling because the National Motocross Championship is still on Sep, 9th. So, Alex still got plenty of time to go around Lombok.





Have you guys ever heard about Pink Beach? Pink Beach is one of seven pink sand beaches in the world. So, if you freaking out about some random pink stuff, you have to visit it! But, if you want to go to Pink Beach the trip is quiet difficult, Alex has to use 4x4 to go there.



 For the record, at this beach there are no shop, no restaurant, then if you go there you have to prepare some supplies for yourself. You can say that this beach is a virgin beach :D you can have a private beach when you visit it.

Sorry for the quality and lack of the photos.

Does anyone knows @RHaryantoracing? He's an Indonesian Racing Driver 2012 GP Series, Marussia Carlin Team, from Solo :) . Couple weeks ago, he spent his holiday at Lombok, he stayed at Alex's Hotel, that is Central Inn at Senggigi.


The Gank

At the first day, The Boys went to Suranadi, they had lunch there at Alex's friend restaurant. "The good food called 'sate pesut' you guys have to try it." said Alex. After that they straight away went to Alang-Alang surround Senggigi beach, because Rio wanted to try to surf but unfortunately the water was low tide.


smile :)



Second day, The Boys went to dive at Gili Trawangan, the spot called Sunset Reef, based on the plan, The Boys wanted to see a group of sharks, but the sharks did not show up. They dived and Alex was the Instructor, the other fellows just did snorkeling, because they did not have any diving license, the boys had lunch at Gili Meno, and continue their diving at Gili Meno, there were a lot of sea turtle and the reef is so colourful, soo pretty, you have to watch it!

Third day, The Boys went to Gili Trawangan from Alex's Transit Hotel, it was only took 20 minutes from the hotel to Gili Trawangan. The Boys just sun-bath at the beach until they got tanned :D they spent their night by having dinner at Alberto Cafe, they dined with the owner of the restaurant, Alberto, from Italy.

Alex Caught On Tape



Uploaded by on Sep 18, 2011
"Alex Wiguna Putra Cfo, one of Indo's best riders ripping with a borrowed bike and gear on a fun Balinese track. Featuring us loosing our sheeeet over the top lad throwing it around like a boss"

Maybe some of you are curious how is Alex stunt on the bike so here's the video. I found this video when I randomly typed Alex's name at YouTube, and his video shockingly popped up, so I need to download it (said the voice inside my head). In this video, Alex got borrowed motorbike, and he did one round riding. Based on my point of view *I'm not a Motocross expert* he rides it smoothly, especially at the bar-to-bar, he just lift his bike smoothly without necessarily slowing down the gas *very smooth*
This video was made by his foreigner friend. You can find it here at YouTube.

For Your Information: I haven't slept for 18 hours so I decided to make this post, I keep thinking about my Final Exam due on Friday, it'll decide my last mark at University, so I can get rid of the University task from now on, that is why I couldn't post anything since the first of July, because I need to take care of my final exam.

Thank You for watching and Happy Fasting!!

For  your information, Alex is such an adventurous person, he can't stand alone doing nothing –haha-, so while its Summer and the National Championship is on the break too, he decided to go to Mount Rinjani with his fellows. The journey –LOL- start at July 2nd, from the base camp to the top of the mountain it takes 3, 5 hours. When it in the noon the sun is soo nice but it’s freezing the arse off! 15 Celsius degree (O_O), wait until the evening comes, it will reach 5 Celsius degrees –bloody freezing!

I don't know what pose is this. haha

hands, pleaseeeee -haha-


There was a funny thing happened, when Alex wants to go down from the top of the mountain, he took off his shirt and started to go down shirtless (with his friends also) even though the weather were so cold he sweaty because he ran. Then he ran to catch his foreigner friends, unfortunately he arrived at the base camp in only one hour, can you imagine it took 3, 5 hours to go uphill and only one hour to go down the mount –ROTFL- his friends and Alex also run out supply of food, so he had to catch some fishes in the lake. He dares to go swimming on the lake too, even though the weather is so cold.

its freezing!

run out supply of food

The trip ended at July the 5th. It was such a great way to spend your holiday, to see the beauty of Lombok from the top of the mountain, and also to admire the magic created by our Mighty God. :) So you guys, if you want to feel the same experience you can go to Lombok, meet Alex and he can lead you to an unforgettable trip of your life :)
