Thredbo NSW State DH Rd 1 Report
Ahhhhhhh Thredbo. It takes me back, back to the start of it all. Back to the nineties, back to a time where hardtails with 3 inch travel forks and 3 chain rings were still accepted downhill machines, when Ronning, Sharples and Miller were the stars, when downhill was in its prime and crowds swarmed the hill like flies...
Check it out here.
Oli pretty much hit the nail on the head...

Great article! It was spot on. Just a small note - Daniel Lavis the Under 15's winner lost his chain not long after the fire road and not only won but still managed a reasonable time of 7:14.
Very clever, very funny, very good. I think Oli should do the race reports from every State because that is one of the best reviews I have read. Well done. Hats huh!! I guess we have already got em beat raffleing of a Giant DH Comp frame and that is just one of many prizes.

Great report, well written. I still can't believe they gave out hats as prizes. I can tell you now, I will not be going back to Thredbo until some one else is running the show. The guy has screwed one of the best riding spots in NSW because of his incompetance.

Well as one of those that 'boycotted' this event i hope that the powers that be in Thredbo take a close look at whats going on. After the national round in Dec I made the choice not to support further races there until they sorted out how to run a decent race. I wouldnt be at all surprised if the state round was the nail in the coffin (hats anyone?)
What I dont understand is why Thredbo gets so many races, in my humble opinion its time they got put out to pasture until they can prove they have organisers who will put the effort into these races that they deserve.
