South West Champs 2012 - Gawton

Last weekend Gawton in Tavistock played host to the South West Champs on the new 4th track, Proper job. Check out MoreDirt's video and photos from the weekend.

Racing was tight on the flat out, bike park style track in the super steep woodlands with not a lot of technical sections to separate the riders.

The top rock garden had some interesting line choices with many choosing to gap down onto a lower line and get on the pedals.

The hecklers were out in force on the spectator friendly track.

BMX superstar Kye Forte occasionally lends his hand to the world of downhill. He's not too bad at it either! Kye won the Masters category by 1.6 seconds.
