Fox Pro Am was WILD!

Long days,loose nights,dialed trails,tent relocation,snowbells savagery,harry potter scars, race track s-t-e-a-k...

The Fox pro/am went down over the weekend and it was a belter.Colin worked really hard to get the jumps running to perfection,and that they were.

We made the trek down with 1 van, 3 cars, 2 cases of Monster, 15 bikes,18 people and a
bunch of tents... Some insane riding went down as well as some after dark madness. The
photo's speak for themselves.

Huge thanks to Giba Gorge for being amaziing hosts of this event.

Colin and Savage finished off the beautiful sculptures by adding these Fox stencils before
the comp started.

Daniel Roffey battled this truck driver on the last jump for a while and it was well worth it.
Winner of Am Best trick.

Angelo Nel will take any oportunity to ride dirt, and he loved every second of riding these
trails. Angelo was floating big tables like this and nice 360's... He finished 3rd in Am's.

Brad Illingworth went for a 15km cross country ride before the comp... he won the 15km
race but got misdirected and ended up doing a 40km ride instead. This didn't stop him
from shredding the trails all day and flowing stylish 360's both ways. Taboggan on the
2nd jump.

Brad - backflip

Brad - joining the trend... nac nac

Tyrone Bradley managed to put down his camera long enough to float this 360

Stu Loudon rode super smooth and consistant and usual. It was 360's like this that won
him the Best 360 prize.

Stu - 3 table with steez

Zandy made the mission down with the Richards Bay Crew. He was doing the best
tables for sure and won the style prize in the Pro class.

Colin Loudon made the most of all his hard work to get the set up dialed and didn't hold
back in the comp. Here is a huge double whip.

Colin doing a flip turn down... this got him 2nd place for Pro best trick.

The best trick comp on the wall ride was insane. Colin tried this wallride whip
a bunch of times and when he landed clean on the pedals he ended up looping
out after a 5m unintentional manual.

Greg Illingworth unleashed the Nic Nac (can can to nac nac) during the comp and ended
up tie for 3rd with Colin. Nac Nac.

Greg winning highest wallride.

Malcolm Peters has so many tricks dialed and it was a treat to sit back and watch the
show. Here he is with a 360 whip... he almost got a 360 double whip!

Here is an example of one of Malcolm's runs: double whip the first, No hander the 2nd, 360 no hander the 3rd.... rediculous!

Wayne Reiche is well known for being a trail shredder but he really really made a huge
impression this weekend. He was throwing down some of the best trail style and trails
tricks in the business... and then surprising everyone with huge flips and front flips! This
pic is a clicked Unturndown.

Wayne also got creative in wallride best trick - pegless vertical smith 180.

Wayne - inverted footplant

Wayne 360 table

Wayne stealing the show with a massive front flip right after he flipped the first jump. Winning best trick and coming 2nd for best run.

Tyrone Kelly felt right at home being loud on the mic. Podium for best run Pro.
