determination.
"If I ever did anything, I
worked harder at it than
anybody else," Pederson
said.
From Alberta, Pederson
lived in Medicine Hat. He
played hockey and baseball
when younger and was usual-
- ly good at the sports.
When the family moved to
Calgary, other boys his age
were racing motorcycles in a
nearby gravel pit. He admit-
ted that at 15 he was rather
tired of hockey. anyway.
Pederson races mostly in
Ontario and Quebec now. He
said he feels competition is

at Hully Gully, Sunda
keener in Quebec, but with
the Canadian championship
under his belt he is now aim -
ng for a North American
title.
Pederson said he thinks the
U.S. riders are the best.
He noted the sport began in
Europe, moved to the United
too.
The 21 year old racer ad-
mitted that he had ridden four
different brands and won on

team last year, but says that.
the variety of bikes he has
riddenconfirmshisbeliefs that
80 percent of the sport is the
skill of the rider.
He also said Suzuki wasn't
too pleased with his
nickname. Pederson was
dubbed "Rollerball" after a
few mix-ups in his early
races. He said other racers
fell, while he managed to
stay up and racing.
The name, from a violent
futuristic -sports film involv-
said, "they think you're in
Hell's Angels. "
He said this attitude was
prevalent with people who
know little about motocross
racing. He added that the ap-
parent dangers of the sport
discourage parents from let-
ting their children compete.
Pederson said there was
greater chance of being hurt
in a football or hockey game
than in motorcycle racing. On
a bike it is the riderwho
trots the speed and course he
runs. Pederson pointed out
there was no control when a
300 pound linebacker is trying

He discounted the theory
that California and Florida
competitors have an edge in
being able to practice their
sport year-round. He pointed
out that European riders have
the same problems Cana-
dians have and that a lot of
the top riders began in
Europe.
He noted that "motocross in
Europe, is as big as baseball
or hockey in Canada".
Pederson said the sport was
growing in Canada' and the
supercross races held in
stadiums are helping bring
the sport to the people.
Fans like the indoor tracks
better because they are able
to see the whole track and
watch a competitor through a
complete lap.
Many fans also do not like
the often long drive out to the
country to see races on
natural course.
Pederson's contract with
Suzuki is said to be in excess
of $75,000.
Pederson will be the

A genetic time bomb...
Huntington's disease is a hereditary brain disorder which passes from generation to
generation, causing slow physical and mental deterioration -, there is no known cure...yet .
There is no reliable diagnosis, no
effective treatment and no known cure,
yet Huntington's Disease affects 1 in 1,000
Canadians, and is related to similar diseases
of the brain and central nervous system that
affect two million people across the country.
The Huntirigton Society of Canada is ,
dedicated to finding a cure and providing
care and counselling to patients and their
families of this inherited and fatal disorder
that takes such a dreadful physical and
emotional toll.
Basic research is already underway but
