    Had a race meeting yesterday at Nowra, they called it Endurocross (not with the logs and tyre jumps). The format consisted of a motocross gate start, half the track then out into a sandy thumpernats style track before heading into the bush for some single trail and finishing back on the motocross track. The track was wicked although dusty so a good start was a must.

    The Berg didnt let me down, smashed the starts against some fast motocross riders on motocross bikes, getting 2nd and 3rd into the first corner everytime, even though I’ve only ever done one gate start in my life and that was only a month or 2 ago at the 4day.

    As soon as we got into the bush I knew I had the young punk moto riders covered, just had to bide my time for an overtaking manouver or get right up there arse and pressure them into making a mistake, which was fun.

    Ended up winning all 3 races B) B)

    My first ever moto trophy and It was a first place! Pretty stoked, plus I was riding heaps good which made it even more satisfying :)

    Got my best start in the last race and it was only a 1 lapper so I was on a mission, smashed it past the holeshot king that couldn’t ride single for shit as soon as we got in the bush and ended up winning by about 20 or 30 secs.

    They were shocked that an old fat guy was the winner. Hahahaha

    Felt pretty good in the dummy grid area talking shit after the first 2 races when a youngish, fit looking bloke on a motocrosser says “I suppose you’re the bloke to beat then?” I said just learn how to dodge trees better and stand up on the pegs more and you will be right :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: The bush isnt smooth like the track, especially cause its a race track and the pros and experts have been out there destroying it!
