In total, there were 87 police riders from across the southern states, who practice and ride all year long.

Living in Greater Sudbury with the long winters we have, Cst. Hinds and S/Sgt. Renaud had not been on a motorcycle since last fall, with no opportunity to practice before the event.

Cst. Hinds won 1st place in the Last Rider Standing category.

S/Sgt. Renaud won 2nd place in the Novice Harley Windshield division.

Team Canada was made up of Cst. Hinds, S/Sgt. Renaud, Sgt. Byron Harding from Waterloo Regional Police and Cst. Gary Machell from the Toronto Police motor squad.

The Palmetto Police Motorcycle Skills Challenge is dedicated to providing a safe and challenging training opportunity to the motorcycle operators who attend, while simultaneously benefiting selected charities. This prestigious event showcases the skills and abilities it takes to operate a police motorcycle with rider safety in mind.

Way to go, guys! We are so proud of your accomplishments.
