Joe Sheppard Wins FRMX's Rider Of The Year!

FRMX's FMX Rider of the Year Award is to recognise the amount of dedication some FMX riders put in to attend the majority of events held around the country.

Gold Coast's Joe Sheppard has emphatically claimed the Freerider MX FMX Rider Of The Year Award after a solid fourth place at the Narrogin RevHeads. “I'm pretty stoked right now, I had a good weekend over at the Narrogin Revheads comp in WA and took forth place (best placed non-flipper), which was enough points to take out Freeriders rider of the year!” said Sheppard.

Sheppard was the best of the non-flippers at what's regarded as the most prestigious FMX comp in Australia, and has pulled an unassailable lead over second-placed Robbie Adelberg and West Australian Josh Sheehan in the ROTY points chase.

Sheppard has put in huge amounts of effort this year to attend every event on the Australian freestyle calendar, and his dedication, coupled with his solid riding, has meant he is a much-deserved winner of the 2008 Rider Of The Year Award.

On behalf of the Unit crew, congratulations on the win, Joe! You have been an inspiration to young riders, through your riding ability and personality.
