We are on site right now in Rockhampton for the Unit FMX Pro Open! Check out this rad GoPro video we captured with Kain Saul, taking a lap of the course.
The 'Project FMX' compound is looking amazing, and the riders are having alot of fun getting used to big hits, and seeing what is possible. Unit rider Kain Saul has made the trip up to Rocky, along with fellow Monster Kawasaki rider Brad Burch, and it is great to see the younger riders take inspiration and motivation from the more experienced pros.
This event actually makes up the fifth and final round of the Australian Underground FMX Championships for 2011, and is the start of a new wave of events and input from the Australian industry to revive the sport in Australia. The RFDMX crew has done an incredible job getting the Underground Tour up and running in the recent years, so it is really special to see some of the bigger companies now getting behind it properly.
The finals will be going down tomorrow at 11am, so if you are anywhere near Rockhampton, make sure you get down to the corner of Milman Rd and the Bruce Highway to check it all out.
