TREK BIKES - Slopestyle Mens - FMB World Tour Silver event

Australia’s First Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour silver level slopestyle event the top 14 riders competed for points and CA$H.

In the mens final run 1 Mike Ross thru down a top score and a hard run to beat, Luke Parker second run was a cracker and put him into 1st place. Galean Slaney 2nd stomped a good score that put himself into 3rd place. Mike Ross was last rider down with all the pressure to beat Luke Parker. His run started of smooth but a crash half way down stopped the opportunity to take the win but held onto 2nd place. It was an emotional time for all riders and supporters to watch such a close final.
