More Ko’s than an Ali fight that was the race at nannup this year. I heard rumours of around 140 riders and with some more altercations to an ageing track and those of who was there first race you will just have to listen to folklore of what use to be the double rock drop and three terraces. With a new look rock drop into somewhat rockish garden below and then a new line round the terraces made for what look to be a more of a open flow and forearm friendly course.

If you Hadn’t noticed there is a new look Dwelly crew on the rise in Andrew Simper, Mathew & Liam Birmingham. Simper was looking smooth on his new glory, Matt was ringing the neck of his mongoose, and Liam has put ol Slinky’s Keewee back into service and was looking smooth.

Local Junoir charger Jake Byrne was lookin super fast on his new midget size riegn and just keeps improving by the day. And Dad Dean has traded in his hardtail aswell for a new look glory1 and looks a much improved rider aswell. Choco Andrejeski was lookin good even after a saturday KO but needs to lift a little.

Paul Deklerk was on it saturday in practise but on the day of the race, first run decided to put in a bid for the Biejing Diving Team with a wild front flip into the rock garden. Judge’s Score Flip 10/10 Landing 7/10. He was then escorted of to bridgtown hospital for scans and i’ll guess we’ll get an injury report soon. All the best for a speedy recovery Paul.

Then there’s the Pride of Dwellingup Benny Bell, Mathew Bell, Andrew Laird, Mikee Burgess and new look import Mathew Triggaz Trigwell.

With the usaull big Saturday Night at local Nannup Hotel, and a set of well oiled kidneys the boys were ready for action. Leaving before knowing any real results the early running was ben v Deon Baker Matt v Sik Mik, the ploughman laird trying to find some of that ol hiway cup winning ways and triggaz just trying keep that nose in front of the burg on the verge of a surge.

Trackside laugh’s were had in the way of some of the finest sport drinking boys Downhill has to offer in Chooky Andrew’s, J Bain, Wooly and temporary ring in twinny. With more off beat commentary than Bruce Mcavany the boys were well oiled and had more can stik shakers than red dot would know what to do with.

Also a plug for the albany contingent which is getting bigger by the gig and most of the lads in the second season of racing with new toys, definatly looking alot more race hardened and faster.
