Penshurst Off Road Club in the Kent Countryside was the setting for DMR Dirt Wars FMB Bronze Series on the 21st of June. The sun was out and the riders were throwing it down big time from the word go. Despite the wind picking up the guy’s really didn’t fail to perform and show the judges that they were in for an action packed day.
First up were the Open Class riders for Qualies with 23 riders being cut down to 10 it was all to play for.
Tristan Bushnell was firing off tail whips whilst Ben Nolan was determined to pull a flip on the last, unfortunately he didn’t succeed. Will Brock was looking super smooth riding 24” Wheels and pulling sweet pendulums.
Unfortunatly young Marcus Gilhooley took a bit of a crash on one of his runs and ended up dislocating his wrist and fracturing the bone (Healing vibes Dude).
After the 23 riders had had 3 runs each with their top run giving them their placing’s we cut them down to 10 with Kerry Pert, Jack Ambler, Tristan Bushnell, Will Brock, Alex Greenwood, Darren Estall, Cameron Crozier, Marcel Hunt, Jack Cardy and Harry Campbell going through to the final.
With the Open riders done and dusted it was on to the pro final where the top 6 would battle it out for 1st place.
After 3 runs each of tail whips, Flip Whips, 7s and a whole bunch of other Ariel acrobatics the 6 were placed into position and the 6 top runs went as follows.
1st Freddy Pullman Truck, Flip bar to tuck, Frontflip
2nd Daryl Brown Double truck to x-up, 3 tuck, one handed super seat
3rdRyan Nangle Flipwhip, tailwhip, 720
4th Ray Samson tailwhip, flipwhip, super flip
5th Alfie Stephens Double tailwhip, tuck no, 3 whip
6th Tom Reynolds One foot table, tailwhip, tuck no hander
Well done to all who rode.
Other mental moments from the day were Tom Reynolds Frontie on the first to tailwhip on the second but then had to ditch at the third, Jack Amblers nothing to bars, Ben Nolans turbo flips and Daryl Browns Amplitude.
Massive thank you to all our Riders, Sponsors, Crew and Spectators for such an awesome day
Next round is at The NASS Festival on the 10th July, See you there.
