Such an awesome thing to do for kids, and since Luke has replica Olympic track in his back yard and the only Supercross ramp in Australia, he was a perfect host...

Word on the street is that the Tassie track was nice n dry, little blown out, but running fast. Jr. Atkinson had a smooth run for 6th. Also good to see Amiel back out and racing DH after a year-long hiatus spent racing enduros on a dirtbike:) Ben Cory took the victory, nice one.

New Zealand National Series.
Save these 2010 dates, New Zealand will open your eyes... It's summer in the southern hemisphere. I personally have never been to the National rounds there, raced Worlds in 2006 in Rotorua though. Know a lot of people who attend. Might hit one up possibly. It's not on the list here but Queesntown is supposed to be a MTB paradise:).
