After the North Island series was finished, we chucked it up a gear and got into the Nationals rounds. We missed the first two rounds in the South, but managed to attend the Auckland and Taupo rounds. The Auckland race was held at Fourforty Mountain Bike Park on a pretty much brand new track. It was a good race and I took 2nd place. At the last round, Taupo was having a few issues in terms of not having access easily to the top of the hill, so turn around times on the shuttles were running slow. That aside the race was good and I took 3rd place. Next stop was Skline Rotorua for National Champs.
The National Champs was held on the brand new DH track at Skyline Rotorua. This track was built for Crankworx, and was awesome. It had everything you want in a track. I was humbled to take 2nd.
Last race on the calender was Crankworx. Back at Skyline Rotorua. The place was humming and the atmosphere was all time. I had a big crash, worst of the season, during timed practice. It almost put me out of racing the next day. I woke up and didnt feel the greatest but thought id battle on. I had the track dialled during practice but had to pull back on a few things for the race run as I just wanted to get to the bottom. Luckily I rode smooth, brought it home and took 3rd.
Was an epic season and cant wait for more racing ahead. Yeow
