Dirt Wars round 1 PORC

Hi all,

Its been a while, Had my first UK comp of the year on Saturday at PORC. Was such an amazing day sun was betting down I felt so good on my 898 and it was good to ride with everyone again.
I was asked to be head judge for the open riders which was pretty cool. riding has definitely progressed a lot this year and the open riders were killing it was sweet to watch them shred.

Pro comp was good i was a bit nervous but did so good qualifying runs made it to the finals did a safety run which was Flip no hander the first, 360 x up one foot the second and 360 tailwhip the last, felt good to get a good first run down and was not to nervous. My second run was the big run that I had been planning the whole day, it consisted of a flip superman the first 360 tailwhip the second and Front flip the last unfortunately the front flip did not quite work out under rotated and landed hard on my ass which winded me big time, my whole back was in so much pain but I had one more run and I just kept moving so i would not seize up finally it was my turn dropped in feeling painful Flip superman the first, 360 Whip the second and super whip the last then collapsed under the pain but was so stoked to get the run down. was in a lot of pain so went and laid under the trees to relax. Prize giving and they called out the open top 8 then started on the pro top ten it got to 5th and I thought i would be about 4th so just stayed laying down and then they announced 4th and it was not me so was stoked I made top three. then third was called and that was not me but Daryl Brown, then second and that was not me but Clinton Johns. I couldn't believe I had won, I was so happy. I stumbled to the front and claimed the top spot.

Was a sweet weekend and even though I could not ride Mr Blings DH on the Sunday was still stoked about the weekend.
Cheers Cliff for putting on a sick event it went smooth and definitely looking forward to the next one.
