There was plenty of action to be had this weekend. Between the AFMXA’s first amateur freestyle event and awards show, and round four of the Australian Super X series, there was something for just about everyone. We headed out to Pala Raceway for the AFMXA event to see what the amateur riders had in store. For the most part it, the new kids on the block were pretty impressive, throwing out a lot of tricks that were unexpected and others that were very innovative. Check out the gallery below for the inside scoop on what went down at Pala Raceway and later that night at the Pala Casino for the awards show. Be sure to click on PAGE 2 for a gallery from the Australian Super X held in Canberra where Jay Marmot took a very emotional win.
Stay tuned for a few videos from the awards show, including the already infamous Adams and Faisst song “Ridin’ Twice Daily.”
The amateur FMX participants get the run down of how their runs were going to work. All told there were about 12 guys competing in the "novice" class. For the pro/ams there was about another ten riders. A pretty good turn out for the first time around.
