2006/2007 national MTB Season announced
- Thread starter Scott
- Start date
I think the series looks good. A little more condensed will hopefully attract more riders to more quality events rather than spreading it out too much. I must say i enjoyed WA last year and its a dissapointment not to go back.
Im a big fan of having more events with DH and 4X together (WA was a bit of a struggle last year, time wise and financially spread over a week.) But it is intersting to see how many fast young DHers coming out of WA....
Heres to the East Coast Nationals.

Anyway, 2 national rounds in NSW and the Champs in ACT (which is NSW as far as im concerned), 1 in Tassy and 1 in Vic isnt a spread at all, especially for a national series.
Fair enough if some clubs arent prepared to host a round, but not having a round at Buller is criminal. [/rant]

Inside Line (SA's DH club) chose to wait until next year to put their collective hands up for a national round, by which time Eagle quarry should be a proven race location.
Unfortunately none of the other SA DH race locations are quite up to a national standard currently.

Actually, ACT is a state and has been one for over 10 years. When I went to school the definition of a Territory meant that you were governed by a department within the Commonwealth, you were not self governed. So by that definition BOTH NT and ACT are now States as they have their own governments.ajay said:ACt is a territory

Friggin big country Canada, DH National Races are all in either BC or Quebec. We don't even have 4x... so if you don't live in either of those provinces it's a very expensive national series. Factor in taking 2wks off in may to be in Que. and about 3 wks off (min) in mid summer to go to BC... $$$$$ now you see why Canada doesn't produce many racers.
demo man
Used to be cool.
not if you're on a tight budget, and certainly not if you're MTBA and don't have anyone putting their hand up to run a 5th round!TS153 said:
just be glad we have such a good National series, i think it rocks, and considering MTBA put on a XC series and a 4X series on top of just the DH, they're not doing too badly at all.
is it really going to affect you so badly? if you want a 5th round that much, then run one yourself
and ajay, I'm offended that you think the ACT is the same as NSW.
not very national
I think its a shame wa was basicly ignored when putting in a bid to host a national round,considering how strong the downhill scene is over here,not to mention the quality of riders and venues over here,a lot of dissapointed riders over this side of the counry!
