Aaron Slight nephew tracks uncle

The 17-year-old nephew of superbike legend Aaron Slight is following in his tyre tracks after being chosen to represent New Zealand at Britain's top competitions.
Bjarne Frederiksen is one of a team of three young riders who leave for Sussex, England, tomorrow for a sponsored 10-month training and competition spree that could be a launch pad for their young careers.
The Masterton teen credits his uncle, a stalwart at the superbike world championships, as the inspiration that got him into the sport.
"He bought my first bike when I was two and I never got off," Frederiksen said.
Frederiksen was chosen from the best in New Zealand for the team after submitting a CV to Motocross New Zealand.
He was chosen first and foremost for his racing successes - including a third placing in the junior world championship in Taupo in 2009 - but also his aptitude and willingness to train.
Frederiksen found out in November and his first reaction was to "scream, pretty much".
"Everybody is a bit stunned, they don't know what to say. It's unreal."
While he must pay his accommodation and living costs, the sponsorship will cover travel, transport for his bike, his gear, training, gym-time, and competition entry fees.
"I don't really want to put a figure on it, but [the total value] would be a lot."
Besides competing in some of Britain's biggest competitions - the Red Bull Pro Nationals, the British Masters, and the British Nationals - the 10 months will feature intense training with coaching in Spain, Belgium, and France. "They said we will be begging to go to sleep."
The weight of the opportunity is not lost on Frederiksen, who hopes to use the experience to not only improve as a rider but meet the right industry people. He said the prize at the end of the road was to compete in the world championships or break into the American scene, featuring some of the world's best.
Accompanying Frederiksen on his European odyssey are young riders Kieran Scheele and John Phillips.
Frederiksen thanked Grant Langlands, Chris Price, Paul Marsh and Bevan Mckenzie for being pivotal to his success.
