Toowoomba rider Jared Graves snares rare XC win - The Sunshine Coast Daily

JARED Graves is certainly versatile.


The Toowoomba rider has been previously represented Australia in BMX at the 2008 Olympics, been crowned four-cross world champion and 2009 and is a genuine contender in downhill and enduro mountain bike events internationally.


He has also just taken out the elite men's cross country section in the opening round of the Australian National Mountain Bike Season at Adelaide.


Basically, if it has pedals, Graves (pictured) can ride it just as fast as anyone else.


The success at Adelaide was the 31-year-old's first cross country win since he was 13 and it came on the national stage.


The win was also made more difficult as his forks collapsed during the race making the event even more of a physical challenge.
