Super D Action - Round 4, Turners & Dead Dog

Nelson Super-D number 4 (number 3 was canned due to a little bit of bad weather) and to be honest, it's quite surprising how quickly a bunch of local volunteer's rushed out and sorted out the tracks in Nelson so we could all ride our bikes again........thanks very muchly guys.

Super star of the Nelson Super-D's has to be Jamie Nicoll, if you haven't heard of Jamie by now, you should probably ask around.  Long story short, Jamie had 2nd and 3rd degree burns from a work accident in Chile, just over a year ago.
Not exactly sure when Jamie got back on a mountain bike, but since he set the fastest time, I think his recovery is going well.  Jamie is the man to beat at Super-D racing.

Harriet takes a short study break and again sets a scorching time and then rushes off to work

Anywho, another great Super-D in Nelson, looking forward to the National Champs and Oceania Super-D events this summer.
Strongly recommend you get out and do a Super-D, most races are sub 10 minutes long and mostly downhill.....probably the perfect race.

Bob sticking to the low and fast technique, seemed to work for her, 2nd fastest women.

Ethan, fastest XC whippet, 2nd in the Senior men and just broke the sub 8 minute barrier.

Mildy fastest 40+ (not sure what the guy who came in second was doing), keeping it low and fast.

Boyd G getting BIG air, which I think may of been 8 seconds of air time?

Jake Glover, part of the XC whippet Glover family takes out the U19 class.

Unknown rider, pretty happy to get got some air for the camera.

Righto, massive thanks to Mildy and the Nelson Mountain Bike Club for a fantastic series.  To the board members....we do remember  that some of you still owe a round of beer.  David Chadwick for hanging around in weird arse places to take some great photo's.
