Last weekend the 4th round of the Tasmanian gravity series was held in the small town of Wilmot, about 30 minutes out of Devonport in the statea��s North. The track consisted of many flowy corners, with a couple of technical rock gardens and some big gaps thrown in to mix things up. Saturdaya��s conditions saw a sunny, dry day which allowed riders easy conditions to work out their lines and how to maintain their speed. Also held on Saturday was a super D race, although downhill bike numbers were low at this event, it attracted many cross country and all mountain riders.

By the time Sunday morning had come around the track had worn out a fair bit and become a bit more rutted. During practice many riders picked up speed and got their lines dialed for race runs and were trying to gap the rather large finish line table top.

The Womana��s category was again won by Christina Sergeant, with Jill Brady coming in second. New Track X team rider Dan Booker took first in the under 17a��s, Jarvis wall in second and Connor Greatbatch in third. Ben Hill again took the win, showing impressive speed and style, on his way down the course Brent Capel and Jack Lynch followed in Under 19a��s. The hotly contested Elite category was again one by Kaine Cannon with Aaron Oates in second and Josh Fuller in third.

That wraps up Tassie for another round!
