Rosco finally takes his first win at the last round of the series, only to just miss out on the overall!  It looks like Rosco has come into some good form and will now be concentrating on the National Champs.  

It was good to be back at Carrick as the track is always good and fun to ride even though it happened to be a bit wet! The course had some changes which were good and made the track a little more technical.

Jonny charters proved again to be consistent with another great result in 3rd which ended him up 4th overall in the series, not bad for his first full year racing!

Charters senior made a debut appearance and competed in the vets where he went 30 seconds quicker in his 2nd run to set a new rosco lines record as none of the other riders have went this much faster in their 2nd run, watch this space!

Round 6 brought us to a new venue by the Epic crew. The track was fun at the top but a bit pedally at the bottom so some fitness required! Young Charters in the u16 proved that he had been training hard by taking his best result so far in 2nd ahead of cam cornforth. Rosco also doing the same with a 2nd to finally break his string of 3rd places.

The guys were all pleased to be back to cullo this year as its one of the best!

The course was the same as last year but with some inprovements which made less pedaling. the track had everthing in it including some good switch backs half way down!

Jonny charters had a nightmare of a weekend with breaking his mech in his first run then getting a punture on his second run! No points this weekend. Junior rider scott finished in the top ten with two consistant runs and same for ben in the seniors also top ten with two consistant runs. Rosco lived up to his new nick name (colin the 3rd!) taking his 5th 3rd place in a row!

The track was real fast with some big jumps, so after a few run ups it was risk it for a biscuit!

The guys were all lookin fast and with a bit of extra practice on sat evening they were good to go for sun. That was until rosco woke up on sun morning feelin as rough as a dog with the flu! He didnt get out of bed for practise and wasnt sure to race, but dragged himself up for first run which he got a punture! So had to go for a steady second run which placed him 3rd for the forth time in a row! Benji completed two consistent runs which placed him 15th in seniors but knows he can do a lot better.

It was great to see the CRC world cup team which is great for Irish racing!

The track was very tough and steep and the weather conditions were wet making it twice as hard. This was good cause it tested the riders abilities and  pushed them to a higher level.

Rosco was lookin fast all weekend and was feelin confident for his first run. But half way down the track crashed out and had to get ready for the second, he had a safe clean run which placed him 3rd splitin up the CRC team. Ben had a good first run which placed 9th in the seniors whic is his best result so far, scott also placed 9th and jonny was pleased to get back on the podium with a 5th place.

Irish NPS 2 Killarney

It was great to see the sun shining in Killarney, for a change! The track was dry and dusty and is definitely one of the most fun and technical tracks in Ireland. 

The team were riding fast, getting in plenty of practice.  Probably too much because of the dry conditions.  The one thing that was going to be tough about this track is that the track was so short and therefore the times were going to be tight.

Rosco put a fast time in on his second run of 1.13, which put him into 3rd place only 3 tenths behind winner Seanan O’Riordan.  Scott battled it out in his category, improving on last rounds results, but still off the podium mark.  Jonny had two clean runs (no crashes this week) and just missed out on the podium, finishing 6th place.

This placed him third with a good start to the season. Junior rider Scott placed 16th in his category and Senior rider Ben 19th. After his first run Rosco was lying in 2nd place with 5seconds to make up to first place. In his second run Rosco improved his time by 3secs and this placed him 3rd overall in the elite category.
