Bike Morzine Hattock Downhill Race

First up what an absolute banger of a race!! Despite the forecast saying thunderstorms the weather played ball and provided a beautiful summers evening on the SuperMorzine hillside. After a quick sign on for nearly 50 riders it was time to get into racing.

The track ran from the top of Super Morzine, down fast flowing berms of the Red trail, over the road gap before plummeting into Hattock at mach 10. Hattock is Super Morzine's hardest trail, littered with roots, road gaps and doubles it isnt for the faint hearted, to be in with a chance of winning you needed to confident hitting off camber roots, compressions and big senders! With the recent nice weather we've been having Super Morzine was running an absolute dream, with roosty dusty corners, more grip on the roots than we've ever seen and the track lined with rowdy spectators, no wonder everyone was absolutely peaking off the track.

Below: Just a small turnout for the girls but all of them were killing it, with Nina Merzcuajensen (definitely spelt wrong) taking out  the win by over 20 seconds, despite completing a bush dive during her run!

Also Shout out to Sam (13) and Tom  (9) Westgate for getting down Super Morzines hardest track and hitting most of the big jumps, these cheeky buggers are going far.
