Saturday’s weather was questionable…

Off we went to Eagle Mountain Bike Park for round 5 of the Inside Line SA State Series, there were a few choice additions/changes tot he track and the way it was bunted. The steep chute coming into the bridge a third of the way down the track was catching a few people out! Especially during practice on Saturday when conditions were less than ideal, in fact a lot of riders were of the opinion that a few runs on Saturday were enough before they headed home to start the long task of cleaning up!

For all the results head toA�www.insideline.com.au

As always RFPhotographics gives us a visual recap of the action;

Sometimes it didn't all go to plan though! This rider just missed out on heading a lot further down the hill near the bottom as he missed the track!

At the end of both days there was a fair bit of this going on! Some riders/teams were set up with a wash in the pits!
