Some of the young junior talent also caught Sharple's attention, especially local rider Sam Willoughby.
With practice again tomorrow before riders compete in two time trail runs organizers are making some adjustments to the small sections of the track.
During practice, Olympic track builder, Tom Ritzenthaler, kept a close eye on men's and women's sessions and this evening is reforming some of the jumps.
“We’ll make changes on the first and third straits mainly. The first two jumps will get some adjustments. We will shape it for the riders,” said Ritzenthaler.
For all riders in tomorrow's two qualifying runs the aim will be to qualify with the fastest times as only 64 men and 16 women make it through into racing on Sunday.
Racing gets underway at 12.30 pm with the elite women’s first time trail and finishes with the elite men’s second run at 4.30 pm.

Australia’s Krystal Cranfield’s (AUS) fell in practice today and miss her chance of racing the UCI BMX World Cup Supercross in Adelaide over the weekend. The 21 year old landed heavily in the second straight breaking her collarbone perhaps ruining her chance of making an Olympic berth. With 43 riders entered, the Australian riders not only survived practice but impressed. “All of the guys looked good and comfortable. Kamakazi and Jamie (Gray) said they felt good out there. Jared (Graves) was doing the first straights really well. Khalen (Young) pulled it together at the end,” said Australia's BMX Head Coach, Scott Sharples. Luke (Madill) had good sections on the track and looked smooth especially in the third strait.”
The girls impressed me today as well. Nicole Callisto dominated the practice today. She was the first girl to do the first straight and Lauren (Reynolds), the junior girl, was the second.” Even though Krystal is not on our squad, I was really keen to see her ride a Supercross event.”
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
