Adrian Gailitis won the mixed-8 expert A final and their were also successes for Oliver Merron (mixed 9-expert A final), Oscar Chambers (mixed 9-10 novice A) and Oliver Tyers (mixed 10 expert A).

Arguably the most thrilling races of the day was the mixed 15-16 expert A final. Race leaders Lukah Mckenzie and Alex Taylor collided at high speed on the second berm, allowing Max Allfrey to blast past to take the win.

The mixed 17-plus expert A final was won by Neil Brunjes. Other winners were Saul Taylor (17-plus mixed novice A), Kevin Merron (mixed 17+ expert cruiser A) and Anna Katz (BMXercise A).
