Beat the Bastard was held in Townsville, QLD Australia. It was the first Free Ride event ever to be held in Australia, and was also the first Gravity event to be a charity. They were raising money to beat the bastard, prostate cancer.
The event also included the 2nd round of the Cone Head Cup, and was a gnarly SuperG course that was around 60km/h and through hectic bends.
It was truly an epic event. DVD coming soon…
