Joe Sheppard, Robbie Marshall, Dean Ferris and Jay Wilson indulge in a bit of bench-racing at the end of the day.
Today was a great day to be in Northern New South Wales. It was one of those amazingly clear winter's day you dream about, rain from two days' prior had turned the dirt into loamy goodness, and we had the privilege of hanging out at current Australian MX Pro Open points leader Dean Ferris's picturesque Kyogle farm with some of the country's top MX and FMX riders.
On hand to make the most of the day and the prime real estate was Ferris himself, one of the world's most gifted all-round riders Robbie Marshall, FMXer Joe Sheppard and two of Unit's newly-launched Junior MX Academy riders, Jay and Dylan Wilson.
Jay Wilson leads Robbie Marshall over a poppy hit within a stone's throw of Dean Ferris's living room.
The rolling hills on the Ferris farm are seemingly custom-made for MX and freeriding: Dean reckons he has access to about 10 tracks within a short drive from his own house, and his family's own 80-acre block is chock-full of rolling hills, dry gullies and crazy lines.
Marshall always looks in his element when it comes to natural hits.
We videoed and shot the day as the boys explored the farm, and watched Ferris throw some of the biggest Whips we've ever seen over the many natural-terrain and purpose-built jumps.
Ferris throws it flat for Unit filmer Allan Hardy.
Dean Ferris: can whip.
For the racers Wilson, Marshall and Ferris it was a great chance to escape from the usual intense gym or MX sessions as the 2011 Rockstar MX Nationals reaches the business end. With two rounds remaining in the championship held over the next two weeks, life is going to get a lot more intense for the guys.
Stay tuned for a couple of killer Unit videos from today, which will be released in the very near future.
Jay Wilson and his little brother Dylan are definitely a couple of characters.
It wasn't all hucking and hipping. Jay gets his scrub on around Ferris's track.
For a grom, young Dee Wilson has some plenty of style.
