Sam Hill Wins Round 1 of Aussie Nats

It’s summer in the southern hemisphere and that means our desire to watch the pros get loose will be quenched with the Aussie National DH Series. In Round 1 at Mt. Buller, Sam Hill takes the Mens win on his new team with Chris Kovarik in 2nd and Connor Fearon 3rd. On the Womens Caroline Buchanan took the win with Canadian Claire Buchar less than a second behind and Lisa Mathison in 3rd. Video from Jake Lucas for Roost Mag below. Next round is February 8–10 at Thredbo.

This time last year Sam Hill was battling Troy Brosnan for the top spot… could we see the young gun from Specialized taking the veteran for a ride again later this season?
