Another hot day at Eagle Mountain Bike ParkA�for today’s practice and seeding. The heat was affecting everyoneA�but at least the conditions were the same for all the riders. A quick injury update; Ben Cory seperated his shoulder yesterday and can’t race, Rhys Atkinson crashed onto his arm in practice. Rhys was stiff and sore but as he said “tomorrow is the one that counts”, no doubt rest and ice will be applied for the next 24 hours. Numerous other riders crashed due to the heat, fatigue and the track deteriorating.
