Richard Davison trounced the opposition to win the grand prix freestyle at the NAF Five Star Hartpury CDI. Richard and his home-bred Lingh son Bubblingh posted 78.04% to top the leaderboard by almost 6%.
Last-to-go Richard got toes tapping with his popular Gangsta’s Paradise routine, which always provides a refreshing change compared to more traditional choices of freestyle music.
