The weekend was wrapped up with Peaty taking Gold. The course was super rocky and filled with buck jumps with lines continuously changing as practice wore on.
After taking a bit of time off to prepare, Nathan came into World Champs having put in a considerable amount of training looking strong and focussed, which paid off in the end. Having a little off during practice, Rennie ended up with eight stiches in his hand and having to do a bit of iceing a few days before race day, but this didnt stop him from pulling in a top 10 result.

Kenda/Morewood team rider Nathan Rennie has been training hard with Nathan Corbett who is a professional Australian Cruiserweight kickboxer and martial artist, fighting out of Five Rings Dojo, Gold Coast, Australia. He is the reigning WMC Muaythai Cruiserweight World champion and K-1 Scandinavia 2007 tournament champion. Putting in some hours getting his fitness back, Rennie is focused on getting a good result at the World Champs later on this year!

Deep loam and newly exposed roots turned the largely off camber section … Read More »

The weather couldnt have been any better with constant sun and not a drop of rain which bought on dry and dusty track … Read More »

If you were wondering how the Kenda/Morewood team bikes got their chromed finish, ponder no further. It takes hours of getting dirty and tedious polishing by hand. Pictured here are Pat and Leon having the time of their lives! Each bike takes about three to four hours to polish. 3-4hours, 10 bikes, you do the math!
