“I’m glad to see the spectators excited about Motocross sport in Tunisia; I honestly didn’t expect this crowd. It added a lot of enthusiasm to the race,” he added. Crowned the Arab Motocross Champion in 2009, the 30-year-old Red Bull athlete had seriously started racing in 2002, when he participated in the Motocross local Championship and ranked seventh in the general classification upon his start.

Currently, Balooshi is the Champion of the Kuwaiti and Bahraini Motocoross Championships and is getting ready to participate in the full 2010 regional Motocross Championships and selected races in Europe, waiting for the opportunity to prove his skills in international competitions and realise his biggest dream of becoming an International Motocross Champion and representing his country internationally.

In 2003, Balooshi was elected as the ‘Best UAE Motocross Rider’ after his participation in the “Red Bull Super X in the City”, which was held for the first time in the capital Abu Dhabi. Balooshi was however noticed after his remarkable performance that secured him the third position in the 2003 Umm Al Quwain Championship in the 125cc and Open Class categories. He won the title of UAE Motocross Championship for the years 2005, 2006 and came fourth in the 2006-2007 seasons.
