Archway to Erzberg

Day Four – Erzberg Rodeo.

We arrived at the Rodeo and split it up in to two groups, we then went to the top of the mountain. We found a good spot to watch the prologue; it was better to watch than yesterday because the riders were a lot quicker.

We all meet back at the minibus for a packed lunch and then chilled out in the shade as it was too hot, I think it was 30 degrees or higher.

After lunch we went back to the prologue to see if we could find Guy Chandler, Guy is a UK based racer.

We made our way back the Erzberg Arena to watch the freestyle moto-x and had to wait a long time before it started. When it started it was brilliant but it quickly went wrong. One of the riders didn’t jump far enough and had an unexpected [bad] accident, I think he was hurt and they then called a helicopter.

Although we all saw the accident we all remember the best bits of today and it was Banging.
