Redhill KOD

Yo,

Been up at redhill this last weekend for the second round of the King of Dirt.
Drove up on Saturday with James Iouanou arrived at Redhill around 12 met up with all the boys had a look at the jumps which were sick, a good size for comps which was cool to see. Signed up to ride and got practising. The jumps took a little getting used to and just as i got tricking everyone stoped riding and got ready for the start of the open comp. I had been asked to judge and as i have never done it before was a bit wary.

In the open comp they had five runs three count, everyone was riding really well especially Tom Ren and Craig Potter. top Five made it to the finals with the riding stepping up even more. In the end Joash Clackson got third, Tom Ren got second and Craig Potter took the win.

In the pro comp they had two heats with top three in each going through to the finals i was in the second heat so got to watch the first but i had problems with my back tyre went through 2 tubes in 10 min and almost missed my heat. had to keep a pump handy and pump it up after every run. had some good runs and made it through to the finals.
In the finals i was really tired from the sun and riding hard all afternoon, after a quick redbull i had some energy back and rode well doing all the runs i wanted to do and only messed up once on my last run but had done enough to take the win. with only 1 point separating me and Clinton Johns in second. Daryl Brown took third with some very consistent runs and sweet dumped three's. James got best crash with his massive flat spin attempts and Ryan Nangle getting the progression award.
Had a bit of a celebration that night with the Welsh guys and Cliff B from Huckmonkey.

Sunday James and I headed down to Toby Ware's house near Winchester to ride his mulch jump in his back yard. had a really good day riding with Toby, Craig Potter and James.

Amazing weekend in the sun and defo looking forward to Balaton bike fest this weekend in Hungary.

Peace out!
