Carterton’s Logan Mason, who is
expected to be battling for glory in the
7-8 years’ 65cc class this weekend
The 9-11 years' 65cc class, will
possibly feature the young man
who last year finished third in the
6-8 year's 50cc class, Aucklander
Jack Ellingham, and he can expect
fierce challenges from riders such
as Hawera's Ajay Jordan, Levin's
Blair Diamond, Taradale's Scott
Boston, Hastings' rider Charlie
Schaw, Balclutha's Deakan Mullin-
Henry, Waimauku's Huntah Robarts,
Takapau's Jordan Coles, Palmerston
North's Lockie Barr, Pahiatua pair
Maz Parkes and Rory Angrove,
Invercargill's Ryder Sheehan,
Featherston's Teddy Shaw, New
Plymouth's Thomas Robinson,
Bunnythorpe's Wayde Robertson and
Nelson's Wills Harvey, to name a few.
In some of the other bike classes
it may be worth watching out for
talented riders such as Tauranga's
Arama Te Whetu, Upper Hutt's
Ezra Friday, New Plymouth's Travis
Jaxon, Carterton's Maddox Swanson,
Hamilton's Jacob Beattie, Silverdale's
Connor Kerr and Pukekohe's Zavier
Jolly, among others, to feature near
the front.
Current leading senior grade
riders such as international star
Josiah Natzke, from Tauranga,
and Mangakino's Maximus Purvis,
Ngatea's Ben Broad, Feilding's Tony
Cvitanovich, Cambridge's Ashton
Grey, Hastings rider Jye Deacon,
Cambridge's Trent Collins and Te
Puke's Jordan Milsom, to name just
a few, can all trace their beginnings
to the mini motocross ranks.
International pathways can certainly
begin at the mini nationals.
