Dust, dust and more dust! Race number two of the Gravity Canterbury Summer Series heads down the tight and technical Pedofile Alley, awesome weather once again meant that condition were super dusty, super loose and super hot, and super dusty. Did I mention it was a bit dusty? Racing was mega fast and that meant there were some sweet rags all over the track, including Rupert 'Stingray' Chapman's excellent rag/failed recovery at the bottom.
Check out the video, pics and results from Round Two,
James Rennie leads two other riders down the fast, rough and rutted 'flow' section just after the halfway mark.

Watch out for South Island champs next week and the 3rd and Final Race of the Gravity Canterbury series on the 20th of November. Next weekend is the unofficial New Zealand 'South Island' champs, expecting 150+ riders down in Dunedin. Running on an all new track built for next year's nationals rounds, it should be a great weekend. I'll be there covering the race as well as a photographer friend of mine.
Keep Shredding!
