Aussie Single Speed Champion
Brenden Den was recently crowned as Australian Single Speed Champion after a points count back at the Nats. The riders at the event were subjected to one of the hottest November days ever and there were many retirements. Brenden kept up the pressure on his Carver Killer B and while he was second place in the main race came away with the overall points win. Fantastic effort and Brenden is now training for the world single speed champs in Rotorua in October 2010.
