Before we welcomed the year of the Monkey, we closed 2015 with OZRacing's most colorful season ender ever -- The EndGame 2015. This was the final leg of OZRacing's DH series, which determined the top local riders who will have their very own custom race kits designed and named after them for the coming season. While 2016 will debut with a barrage of colorful fireworks, the race itself exploded with our awesome local riders, wearing an array of existing OZRacing kits and some of the upcoming 2016 designs. As always, these races were tons of fun especially since we got to be around such great pals in the mountain bike community, and we got to see riders go out and have fun in the tracks we built. Nuff talk, and more action from the boys down here in the Philippine archipelago.
-Van Chua puts on a show at the tabletop, for the on-lookers.-One of the purdiest bikes in the race, owned by #canadianbelike Carlmil Oliveros.-Billy Bagano, the youngest rider....at heart. He rides like a 20 year old, no kidding.-The step-up after the drop.-Mr Photogenic, David Pragados.-Dongkey Sanchez, shooting out of the drop.-Batchub Semblante, one of the fastest hardtail riders of the season.-Lorence Aliac, killing airtime during practice runs.-Maximo Villarta showing off as bright as his Jerry Vanderpool Hippie race kit..-Jhoe Vram, likes his airtime.-Maui soaring past the receiver.-Clyde Vega sprinting after the tabletop.-Maui Aricayos, staring down the step-up during practice.-Local kids volunteering to help push the bikes so they could get to ride them.-Xim Amores goes combat mode with his camou kit.-Allan Stoeckli, going smooth on the receiver.-Some riders prefer to rock it with old school jeans, like Nick Velasco.-Maui Aricayos, showing us how they whip it in the outback.-Crashes will always happen, but Ryan Flores shrugs it off like nothing happened.-Wasn't expecting this guy to jump off the drop, since he always avoided jumps, but he did, and pretty smooth on the receiver too. Good job Matthew Pura!-Carlos "British Guy" Russel, he might be a big guy, but he's light as a feather on two wheels.-Some of our marshals from Team Lukapa getting their pictures taken by OZRacing's main man. -An explosion of riders and colors.Now that we got that done and over with, we are looking forward to a 2016 of more events here in the Philippines, not just in Downhill, but also for Enduro, 4X, and XC.
