Cedar Creek / Monday Spins / THE OFFICE

Saturday saw Benny Power and Myself heading up to Cedar Creek, Kenilworth for the last round of the Qld DH series. 

It was good getting up to a local race and just hanging out.,

Been of the DH bikes for while now both Ben and Myself were just keen to have some fun on the loose Cedar Creek track.

With practice done it was time for river hangs. 

Sundays racing was canceled due to the Shuttle rd been to dangerous to stunt any toughies up.

How was your Monday. 

Just another Monday spin for Ben and I. Heading coastal for a quick 40k spin on the single speeds before just hanging out at Burleigh Beach for a bit. 

JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE.

Weekend of Tambo

Real amped to get out this weekend and put in some solid runs with a real good crew.

This weekend we loaded the bikes and set of to Tambo in the Gold Coast hinterland with Hayley Kellner, Chris Dalziel, Ben Power and Myself.

With Ben just coming back from injury, its unreal to watch his natural talent still out weigh the time he has spent of the bike.

Out doing some testing on a few major changes on my setup all in preparation for the up coming season.

Al positive feedback so far and am really looking forward. Getting stoked.

Few Pics and Vids of the weekend along with a helmet cam of Hayley.

Track Preview. Straight-to Hell DH Club.

Today I had the chance to head out and do some runs on the new tracks that the lads from Straight-to Hell DH-Inc have produced.

Going back a few months now, NsDynamics, Kovarik Racing got to spend a day doing runs on the original track and just running in the lines. This is was a rad time with smiles all round and Karvar getting loose with the trade mark style of foot out drift.

Now the lads have got 2 lines running with the 3rd in the making.

Utilising the hill to its potential the tracks are all fast, off canva and rocky as hell. These tracks are built with the term downhill kept in mind. With the rocks been loose and for ever changing it keeps u on your toes and alert, you have to be committed to hit the dialled lines.
With this is mind the tracks are definitely suitable for Intermediate through to Elite riding styles. You control your own speed.

With a open day on the horizon I would highly recommend getting out and hitting up these tracks. Not a single track around like them, no berms and no benching makes for foot out Rad Times.

Head over the Official Face book site to keep up to date with what the lads are up to.

2012/2013 sponsorship

That time again to start looking over last seasons achievements and personal goals and start recessing new goals and challenges for the up coming season.
Start looking at which rounds to attend and what the national and international calendar has to offer. Start planning the budget. Making sure I have work is first thing, as no riding and racing will happen at all with out the dollars.
Need to start finalizing sponsorship and making sure my body and mind will be in a competitive state to achieve what will be laid out on the table for personal, competitive and sponsorship goals.
Full resume is been redone and will be ready for dispatch in the next coming week.
If there are any companies out there that feel as though I would be a solid role model for your business, please feel free to contact me via -mathewdodd@hotmail.com for a list of the events and what I have to offer as a rider/role model for the up coming seasons.
