The 2014/2015 motorsport season has come to an end, but world-class rider Luke Price isn't slowing down. The FMX star looks back at the year that was, and what he's got planned to get through the winter blues.

'For me, my season has ended, with myself and Nick Franklin riding the final round of the D1NZ New Zealand Drifting Championship at Pukekohe Raceway.

It was a bit of flop, as it was a four-seasons-in-one-day kind of weather – the wind never really gave in and when it rained, it forced Nick and I to pull the ramp in 17m and ride a first-gear show, which isn't what we like to do! But we rode and did the best show we could.

I got my HusqvarnaTC250 in fifth gear on the back wheel right down the Pukekohe main straight, which for me was rad. We never get out of second in our game, so that was fun.

Four weeks ago, Nick and I headed off down the country to Red Bull X-Fighter Levi Sherwood's house to try to tackle a trick called ‘The Flare'. This is a trick only 15 people in the world are doing as it's very technical and rather daunting. I put a lot of time into this in the foam pit and was feeling confident heading down there.

Levi softened the down ramp to make our landing or ‘crash landing' softer. This would, looking at all the footage, be my downfall. I attempted the trick six times and from that landed two, but due to the soft landing couldn't quite ride away so I'm not claiming it yet.

My goal is to be inside the world's first 20 riders to land The Flare and be the world's first Husqvarna rider to land one. I'm looking forward to getting back down to Levi's to ride away from that trick sometime soon!

Looking at my season, it's been a good one, only having one crash during a show. It did, unfortunately, cause an injury – a grade-two separation of my right shoulder – so I had to sit out two shows and get physio treatment for it.

Now, it's training time, as much as possible. But with the weather the way it is, my training on the bike is a bit limited, which means more running, press-ups and sit-ups to get physically fit. I'll keep setting goals and work my hardest to achieve them!

I'm busy planning shows and already have five booked for the 2015/2016 season. Wheels for Cure Kids is little more than six months away, so I'm getting the wheels spinning for that event now.

I'm hoping, with more even planning and having a few tricks up our sleeves this time, this one is going to be even better. If any of you have any ideas or thoughts please don't be shy.

And I can't say thanks enough to you all for the support and help I receive. I wouldn't be able to do what I do without all the help get.”
