UK Bike park was dry and sunny and the course was nearly dusty in places. A great entry for the first round this year series with a swap from the traditional season opener at Chicksands to the hard packed stone and flint of Dorset.

There were plenty of new riders taking part this year with nearly all the entries in the Series categories, making it looking like a good turn out for the rest of the season.

The course is built on hard stony ground with a long first straight with ends with a tricky quad section before entering the first tight berm then off into double and then the choice of going round the long right hand berm or the tight inside line which leaves you with less speed to enter the mogul section with three different lines, the best option was hit the middle mogul and land just to the left of the next one to give a clean run through which is easy when you are leading but when your racing elbow to elbow this whole different ball game and then onto the left hand hip down into the final berm corner which is built up the side of the trees into the short sprint to the finish.

The Second corner would prove to the real decider in most of the racing with most of the overtaking going off in the mogul sections.
