Asia Pacific Downhill Challenge 2015

We have been following the Asia Pacific Downhill Challenge (APDHC) over the years now and each year it continues to get more and more popular. This year names like McDonald, Thirion, Masters and Davis were all on the island battling it out. Even though it is their off season the riders love racing the event, the track is tough yet fun but more importantly the fans go wild! The location is amazing (who wouldn’t want to be riding their bike on a tropical island) and the hosts always go all out to ensure a good time is had.

Brook MacDonald was one of the riders that made the journey over.

There were a range of riders competing from locally and abroad.

The locals definitely got the biggest cheer!

For the riders who came in from abroad the humidity was a big challenge, the heat sapping energy at a rate of knots! We have a selction of pictures from the event for you to enjoy:

The loose dirt was a lot of fun, some years have seen torrential rain, not this time!

There were some brutal crashes, healing vibes to those riders!
