A Co Antrim boy is celebrating after hitting the heights at last week's massive Arenacross Tour event in Belfast.
Little Jax Knox (7) won the opening two rounds of the AXE5 Electric series which features some of the youngest riders on the Tour.
The Larne youngster, a pupil of Linn Primary School, took part in two heats at a sold-out SSE Arena last Friday and Saturday night.

Riding a GasGas UK supplied bike and kitted out head to toe in TroyLee Designs gear and helmet, he became the first ever boy to win a British Arenacross race on an electric bike.
His double success means Jax will now compete in the grand final at the Ovo Arena in Wembley, London on February 18.
Jax has only been racing competitively for 10 months but has already achieved some incredible success.
He finished fourth in the MCCNI Beyond Signage Championship, third in the Beyond Signage Winter Series Championship and placed 18th out of 40 riders in the Master Kids UK in England.
This year promises to be a big one for the County Antrim kid. After the final round of ArenaCross he will jump straight into his own racing season, where he will compete in the Ulster and Irish Championship, Master kids UK and a few selected races in England.
Jax said: "Winning the Arenacross in Belfast was the best night of my life. It was incredible and something I will never forget.
“I love my trophy. I cannot wait to go into school and show all my friends.
"I would like to give a massive shout-out to all my sponsors, family and friends for helping me achieve what I have so far."
