Ride An Ostrich With Broc Tickle!

Monday 28 June 2010

The AMA Outdoors hit Thunder Valley over the weekend, Unit's Broc Tickle scored a good 6th place overall in the Lites, and it really looks like his alternate training schedule has started paying off.

Unit recently caught up with Broc for a photoshoot, featuring Broc riding around the MX track on ....... an ostrich?

You read correctly, and it is a sight to be seen! haha Check out the EXCLUSIVE VIDEO that our buddys at Racer X put together for the momentous occasion.

In other Unit MX results, Kyle Chisholm scored a really good 7th in the hotly contested opens class. (Australian Chad Reed came home 9th)

Aus MX Nats: Albury

Monday 28 June 2010

The Unit MX Team had a good showing over the weekend on home soil and abroad. The Australian MX Nationals hit Albury after a few weeks on hiatus, which gave alot of guys the chance to recover and prepare for the battle. Cody Cooper took out the win in the opens, while PJ Larsen extended his series lead in the Lites taking out yet another first place.

Tye Simmonds rode well but battled with mechanical problems in the first race, which left him chasing points for the rest of the day. Luke Arbon also rode well, but scoring 0 points in the last race dashed his podium hopes. Cody Mackie stepped up his game and landed a great 2nd place in the Lites, which will hopefully help his momentum into the final rounds.
