Callum Dudson | 2024 Forestland XC Series - RD2: Ohakuri (FULL LAP)

Reigning New Zealand cross country champion, Callum Dudson was looking for a better result at Round 2 of the 2024 Forestland XC Series after a sub-par 5th place in Round 1. It'd been raining for days leading up to the event however, so was going to be a mud race and therefor the start would be critical. In a moment of adrenaline, Callum dropped the clutch just a bit too fast and stalled his big CRF450RX on the line! What followed was a frantic charge back through the pack has he did his best to limit the damage, knowing that the early race leaders would be pulling away fast...

I’d like to see his last lap, track was cut up. Brilliant to see how quickly he passes in the tight stuff

[@TM22549]

Shouting at riders to move over after 5 corners…👎🏻

[@onboardoffroad]

He's the national champion mate, he's got places to be. It's not like he was swearing at them, more just making them aware to avoid a dangerous pass - Any of the other top guys would've done the same thing

[@TM22549]

@@onboardoffroad yeah fair enough but where does he expect them to go? There’s about 40 riders jammed up in tight corners and he’s shouting to be let through. I understand if they’re spread out and holding him up but just a bit dumb so early on.

[@Mac_Simiser]

Can't move if there isn't a place to go, Nat Champ or Joe Schmo...turned off w/in a minute. Hope it turned out well.

Agree, not even 5 minutes into the race shouting at guys to pass, I get it when you’re lapping someone… but if not, its a race you all left the gate at the same time.

@@onboardoffroad He's the champ, a bad start means everyone else off the track until he gets ahead. Issue is he is hollering at people often when he is not in a position to pass. So its not about making a safe pass, its just being annoyed you have others racers you have to pass.

This made me laugh so thank you. I need a laugh right now. I like the P18 and timer in the corner. I laughed because it was an anticlimactic start and then constant complaining of people in front. So funny. Ha ha. Get the mud off yo. Sweet bike btw. 🎉
