The top five placings in Freerider MX’s FMX Rider Of The Year Award remain unchanged after the fourth round of the Conoco Phillips RFDmx Underground Tour at Boonah last weekend.
Joe Sheppard still holds a narrow lead over NSW’s Rhys Hillier, despite Rasy claiming the win at Boonah. Matt Lindores, South Aussie Sam Balnaves and Adam Bayard all consolidated their positions in the ROTY leaderboard.
The next event that counts towards the FRMX ROTY Award is the final round of the RFDmx Underground Tour in Dili, Timor on October 17-18.
However, things are still wide open in the competition stakes, with most of the riders who qualified for invitations to Timor unable to attend both the X-Kings event in Mackay on October 31 (more info to come shortly) and Narrogin RevHeads (WA) on November 14-15, due to transportation or financial restraints.

ABOUT FREERIDER MX'S RIDER OF THE YEAR AWARD
FRMX's FMX Rider of the Year Award is to recognise the amount of dedication some FMX riders put in to attend the majoirty of events held around the country.
Here's how it works: after every FMX competition that's held througout 2009 (excluding FMX Nationals and King Of The Coast) the riders who compete will score points depending on how they placed. The points breakdown for 2009 is like this: 1st - 25pts; 2nd - 22pts; 3rd - 20pts; 4th - 18pts; 5th - 16pts; 6th - 15pts; 7th - 14pts; 8th - 13pts; 9th - 12pts; 10th - 11pts, etc etc.
Now the number of downramps and how much prize-money is offered to first place will determine how many "stars" each event will be worth. We will award one star for every down-ramp and one star for every $1000 the winner receives in prize-money. If an event has, say, two down-ramps and $2000 for the winner, it'll be a four-star event, and points will be multiplied four times. In this case, the winner will receive 100 points (25pts x 4 stars).
