It was a flash back from the old days for sure, with the line up of riders and old school Brisbane riders in the crowd.
It was great to see some new faces in the Aussie scene as well and the future looks bright. Kids were riding really well in all classes. Chris Courtenay, Jake May, Dean Manson, little Alex, and David Girch to name a few.
I got through qualifying and straight after it was the final which was 2 runs, best run counts.. I layed down a first run that scored pretty good, I was stoked! The second run I messed up, but held onto my first score all the way until Guettler dropped in, and I waited his final run. He slammed real hard on his head but got up and shook it off, then they announced I had won! I was really happy for sure, the extra cash will help pay for all those pub meals and meat pies I ate in Oz.
It was great to be able to attend such an event and thanks go out to Chris Bierton who makes it happen year after year and to Unit Clothing for putting this video together.
