The Australian Institute of Sport Talent Search Program is conducting an exciting project looking to identify females with persistence and determination to succeed in CROSS COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKING.
We are seeking females aged between 17 to 27 years old with experience riding a bicycle (road, track, BMX, MTB) and who live in Victoria, NSW or the ACT.
The “Dirt Roads to London” initiative aims to identify the most talented females who could potentially represent Australia at the 2012 Olympics Games in London and provide them with the opportunities to become nationally and internationally competitive mountain bikers. The Australian Institute of Sport Talent Search Program will provide coaching from some of the best mountain bike coaches in Australia, training and education camps and assistance with access to competition.

Some of you may remember we did a short video of Jared back when he was riding for Ironhorse/Madcatz. He's now on a different team (Yeti) and our tracks are completely different!
Filmed once again in Toowoomba; featuring Flaggon, Mackenzie Frenzie (Toowoomba race track, and I had no part in naming it) and the BMX track...
It comes in four different flavours and runs for over 6 mins.
Large DivX - 76MB - Highest Quality
Small DivX - 36MB - Medium
Quicktime MP4 Small - 28MB - Medium
IPOD MP4 - 22MB - Med/Low
*Right click > "Save Target As".
If you have trouble running the DivX versions, download and install this codec pack.
To run the Ipod or Quicktime versions get Quicktime here (without Itunes). |
