Finley Grundy, who rides for Wightlink CRT, took first place in the Under 9 Boys category at the 417 Flyups Downhill Race Series, held in Gloucestershire on September 14.
Despite facing 40mph winds and heavy rain, Finley recorded the fastest time of the day in his category, finishing four seconds ahead of his closest competitor.
His first run, completed in milder conditions, would have also secured him the win in the Under 11 Boys category.

His second run, despite worsening weather and a near fall on a slippery corner, was just half a second slower.
Finley’s father said: “Finley is gaining in confidence with every race and this was evident today as his times were the fastest ever recorded for his age group on this course, which was even more impressive considering the conditions.
“Finley really enjoyed the racing and we’re so proud of him.”
The victory puts Finley at the top of the overall series standings with just one race remaining.
Having only turned seven this summer, he has another year in the Under 9 category.
