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
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]

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:5 sounds so much better than 4
I can understand your disappointment but it is soooo expensive to race as one but when you have an under 17 it is even more expensive as you have the cost of 2.brooko said: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!
