The Butterfly Saga: Season 2, Episode 2 - Video

Cairns was a bit different to the usual Butterfly Saga. New rules meant no rider younger than the junior category was allowed to sweep - unfortunate as it has occurred at all other races in previous years. The only riding that Pat got to do during the event was one sweep run before Claudio and Troy came down for the track preview. Luckily, he had been riding the track in the days prior to the race so he had a basic idea of how it rode. We filmed on the Monday after the race, pushing up from midway to the top and dropping in without practice because of a limited time frame. Avoiding the volunteers who were packing up the bunting and making the jungle itself again. Nevertheless, the race was an awesome experience and we are glad that we had the opportunity to get another episode out for you guys!

Insane skills for someone so young-made it look easy. Thanks Matt-great video.....and great music choice. Keep Pat on the straight and narrow and he will be a real force if he chooses!
