Round 8 saw the opening of Thredbo (about bloody time that white stuff melted). As it was Ian's annual AEFPU fishing trip to Tuross, Kerry took the reins and did the trip on Saturday for practice with all going well. Then backing up for another day on the mountain for the stressful day of race runs. Andrew came down first in the U13's in a 7.24 and revealed he had a stack with his main rival David pinning a 7.09. Thomas pinned a fast run in the U15 at 6.14, 9 seconds ahead of second place. Second run and Andrew laid one down with a 7.05 and this was good enough to take out 1st place by 4 seconds!! Go Andrew. Thomas maintained his good form on his second run and rode a smashing time of 6.12 to come in 11 seconds ahead of second, this time placed him 1st in the 17s, second in 19's and 5th in elite men. He says he is looking forward to the Gold Coast in 2 weeks.
