Whip off events are always fun and the Oceania Championships was no different!

Tonight a pretty fun event by the name of Whip Off Oceania Championships went down! It is pretty self explanatory, basically the biggest whip wins, riders have to pull the whip back, i.e land normally and not leaving their tale out to dry! Casey Brown threw down and took out the women’s event and Ryan Howard was going past 90 for the men deservedly taking the win (credit to some of the locals who were going huge!).We will leave you to check out the action via the photos below:
