NZ North Island Junior & Senior MX Champs - 10-12 April 2009



The family, which included Pa and Nannie Cobbin, travelled to Taranaki, New Plymouth, to compete in the Mini's on Friday 10 April and the 85cc class on 11 & 12 April.

Blake rode well in very cold and damp conditions. His placing for the 65cc was 3rd so very proud to take a podium position.

The next day was a challenge going from mini track to the seniors track, riding the bigger bike on a track approx. 2 kms long. There were 3 races on Saturday and 2 on Sunday, so a very cruelling task. He came 7th overall, which was fantastic considering the conditions and field of good riders.
Cousin Luke Burkhart rode in the 450cc class and was undisputed King of the Mountain winning all his races - the two champs trophies.
