We headed up to Coffs Harbour for Round 1 of East Coast MX and we knew it was going to be a crazy weekend when we were met by heaps of rain and realised we’d packed everything except for a paddle tyre. Practice was gnarly. It was muddy. It was deep, slippery and sticky and nothing like I’ve ridden before and in NZ I rode a lot of wet tracks. The races were fun. My starts was terrible and I dropped my bike at least 3 times in race 1 but kept picking it up and battled on. I tried some great lines and picked some terrible ones and have no idea where I finished up overall as the live timing had an issue but it was a good experience. Hopefully the next race day is a little less messy as the clean up was hard work.
