Far out, what a great day. Bikes, bikes and more bikes, what more could one ask for?

And, i have to say, ive never seen a bike moving as fast as stroud down that front straight.

Will be there next year for sure.

Dang what an excellent day that was eh! Mean arsed bikes doing some insane shit....and then there was the racing!
Bit tender today after some interesting riding there on my Handi-ZX but hell was worth it 100%!
The look on some peoples faces as I passed them with my leg sticking straight out whilst shifting with the 100% style approved bamboo gear STICK selector was priceless

See y'all on thursday
