The third round of the
Race Face Ultimate Freeride Challenge has come to an end with
Ian Duncan, a 15 year old hardtail rider from Kamloops, BC advancing to the semi-finals, joining Wayne Goss and Chris Quintero, winners of the first two UFC polls."Congratulations obviously go out to Ian." says Race Face's Marshall
Rutman. "He was in a tough group with Jamie Goldman and Jeff Bryson and still managed to win by a considerable margin. The most impressive part is that I'm betting a lot of people who voted for him didn't even realize his entire video was filmed on a hardtail. The guy has some serious skills and I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in the semi-finals."
At 15 years old, Ian has now become the youngest UFC semi-finalist.
Next Friday, April 2nd, he'll go on to compete for a spot in the finals against the winner of the highly anticipated fourth round.
