"\"&lt;p&gt;Remember Sean Hamblin? You know, the California kid who came out of seemingly nowhere to score a ride with Team Suzuki in 2002? After spending the 2007 season campaigning the MX2 World Championship Series as a member of the UK-based  Swift Suzuki team, Hamblin is back in the United States and looking for a ride&amp;#8230;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Happy new year, Sean. What are your plans for 2008? &lt;\\/i&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t know yet. Hopefully racing a dirt bike. I have only been riding a couple times since September, but I am actually having fun again riding and enjoying being on the bike.  I may come out for a couple Supercross races; if not, I will try to put something together for Outdoors.\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the span of five years, you have gone from struggling male model to four-stroke national hero to landing a factory ride to podiums at Nationals to Privateer to European superstar to guy wearing shorts and flip-flops in the middle of winter at the Yamaha test track. &lt;\\/i&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I like to keep it interesting. I like to keep people on their toes; keep them guessing. It&amp;#8217;s no fun if you always know what someone is going to be doing. It keeps it interesting and that&amp;#8217;s the only way I know how to do it.\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;We know that your racing experience in the Europe did not go exactly as planned, but do you look back at it as a great life experience? &lt;\\/i&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Oh, for sure. It was a huge opportunity for my wife and me; it was our first year of marriage. I think it was a good decision to do what I did. I rode well, but a few things didn&amp;#8217;t roll the way I wanted them to, but overall I don&amp;#8217;t look at it as a failure. I want to give it another shot down the road, now that I know what to expect and what to look forward to.\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;You&amp;#8217;re 25 and you have the speed to gain a factory ride. What is it going to take to regain that potential you wielded when you raced the Nationals? &lt;\\/i&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;One: I need to make it fun again. Two: I need to surround myself with the right people. Three: Go out and do what I know how to do the best way that I can.  The people I surround myself will be the biggest factor. It would be great if all those things lined up. Unfortunately, those things haven&amp;#8217;t quite lined up together for me.\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Any chance you will return to the lucrative world of male modeling? &lt;\\/i&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Never in a million years. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
