NPS 4X Rd 1 - Chicksands

Round 1 of the NPS 4x kicked off last weekend at Chicky - Here's the word from main man Chris Roberts:



The Uk’s 4X season all kicked off big style.

A massive record entry of riders and 200 motos to get through before the quarter finals it was a tough start to the season.

The super fast hard packed sand Chicksands is always a season favorite, The guys work long and hard at Chicksands Bike park to have the track in tip top condition and this was no exception. The extension to the track with a new 180 degree flat turn made for some exciting last corner moves with quite a few riders getting a mouth full of sand.

Pro Race Boom Boom Scot Beaumont (Rocky Mountain) takes first round with Martin Ogden (Ram Bikes) ,Dunacn Ferris (DMR) and Louis Lacey (Charge Bikes) hot on his heels.

This year with Tom Dowie who dominated the series last year moving up to Pro it all was new with Scott Roberts (Flow bikes) was looking good, taking straight wins in all his motos and qualifying with ease but come the final Bernard Kerr just go the edge to take the win in final.
