Winners are grinners. 🏆 Mega congrats to Brodie Connolly for claiming this year’s ProMX MX2 championship today! Stoked I could be track-side to watch and cover the action for Foremost Media.

It was just as good to catch up with so many rad humans over the past two days, chew the fat, reminisce about the good time past and develop new connections.

As great as it is to cover the Aussie MX stuff remotely day-to-day, there’s nothing quite like being on-site, talking to people in the flesh and getting back behind the camera. I’ll be back soon, I promise!

Always rad to see new work in print! 🙌🏼 I’ve got two features in the latest - the first is an epic couple of interviews with and just days after wrapping up their successful 450SX campaigns. It’s always good catching up with the boys and getting their honest, unique takes on their seasons! 🤘🏼
The second feature on the legends at and the crazy-good operation they’ve got running in the hills behind Queenstown. Their 2024 winter season starts in Julyisy - make sure you book yourself in for one hell of an experience.
The new is on shelves now, so go grab a copy. Yeeoowww.

Always fun to bench-race with a bunch of legends and get them to make their top three championship predictions ahead of this weekend’s ProMX Championship! 💪🏼

It's been a cracking start to the Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship! Here're some of my thoughts on what went down and what we can expect for the rest of the series.

So pumped to get back to the ProMX races yesterday and cover them on-site for MotoOnline and Foremost Media! 🙌🏼
Toowoomba was as epic as always, and this guy, Dean Ferris, was as fast as I’ve ever seen him. 🚀😮‍💨
I only managed to quickly pull the camera out and shoot the practice sessions, but happened to get this snap of Dino dragging bars in a tacky rut just after the finishline.

Early morning shreds with Matthew Fairbrother.
Wee outtake shot from the latest SPOKE magazine that went on sale today. 🤘🏼
Stoked to have a bunch of images and features published in this issue, including a story on the new Mt Herbert trail (pictured), a big interview with the amazing Annie Ford, a Slopes of Bowenvale tribute feature and some snaps of Michael Hayward riding the wild Brazn Bikes rig.
Looking forward to sharing some of the images over the coming weeks!

I’m really saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Ken Block today. I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Ken at the 2009 X Games as part of a DC Shoes trip, and afterward he completely blew me away by surprising me with this limited-edition signed poster of himself and Travis Pastrana going ham for a Racer X Illustrated shoot.
It’s one of those moments I’ll never forget and am forever grateful for.
Rest In Peace, Ken. Action sports will never be the same without you. My deepest sympathies are with your friends, family and loved ones. ❤️

Social media is a great outlet when some of my favourite pics don’t get published. 😄😛
Max Hides in the thick of it somewhere in Christchurch. (Side-note: the dust might look fake but it’s backlit with a low-set secondary flash) 🤘🏼
