Beaumont does the double!

Rocky Mountain UK rider Scott Beaumont has added the National 4X Series title to his National Championships jersey to make it a dominant double winning year. The weekend of August the 16th and 17th saw Scott travelling south to the UK Bike Park in Dorset to compete in the final two rounds of the UK NPS 4X series, one of the premier 4X series in the world. Racing was going to be fast paced and very close as the series has seen record numbers of riders competing in the 2008 series. Going into the final 2 rounds of the series Beaumont had already secured the series title by scoring 4 wins out of the first 5 races with 5 out of the seven rounds to count for the series Scott wanted to make it a clean sweep of wins and take the title in style: "I had a personal goal to win all the races on at least one day so that I would have a perfect score for my overall" said Beaumont. With the National Championships jersey on his back, Scott set his sights on winning rounds 6 and 7 of the series and making it another clean weekend of wins. Scott had a clean set of motos and qualified for the finals on both days where he showed a clean set of heels to the competition and claimed back to back wins and 6 out of 7 wins in the series. After the competition Scott said: "I am really proud to have won both titles in one year, and together with my 6th place at the World Championships this year, it has easily been my most successful year ever in my Mountain Bike career". This has been a great year for the Rocky Mountain rider in which he has seen a winter of training and gate practice pay off on the track. Scott is proudly sponsored by Silverfish UK and relies on Rocky Mountain, e.thirteen, Raceface and SDG to get him to the line. www.Silverfish-uk.com Photos by: Dave Richardson
