The 22nd of Oct saw the 4th round of the NZDH North Island Downhill Series being held in Taupo. The day was grey with the threat of rain, which thankfully held off. What I like about this track is that its only ridden once a year for this race. As its on private land. Descend Rotorua do a great job of heading out the weeks prior to the race and finding an exciting line down the paddocks from the pre-determined top section.
Team Hukkit DH had a great day with 3 of us finishing in podium positions. I placed 2nd in the Masters, Brendan Regan placed 4th in the Open Men and Peter Bethell placing 2nd in the U19s. The rest of the team finished admirably and managed to walk away on the day with body's in tact and smiles all round.
Heres some footage I got after my race run was done. Check it out.
