From MTBA website:


Thursday, 17 June 2010

Mountain Bike Australia and Events South Australia are pleased to announce that the MTBA Australian MTB Championships will return to Adelaide but will move to February for the next two years.

Following a very successful competition staged at Eagle Mountain Bike Park in January, the nation’s best mountain bike riders will vie for the national title from February 22 – 27 in 2011 and from February 21 – 26 in 2012.

Mountain Bike Australia Executive Officer Tony Scott said the change in date was due to a number of reasons, all of which will benefit the mountain bike community.

“Eagle Park is a fantastic mountain biking venue and we’re looking forward to holding our national titles in Adelaide for the next two years,” said Scott.

“For a number of reasons, we have decided to move the event from January to February in 2011 and 2012.

“Last season the national championships were held in the middle of the Jayco Australian MTB Series, however the move to February will allow the national championships to be a fitting finale to the summer season.

“This later date will also provide a more suitable preparation for those riders going on to compete on the international circuit at the conclusion of the Australian season.”

Is there any downhill MTB at this newtons thing though?

Yep, there is and MTBA was notified that it would be on that date and asked keep it in mind when setting the national DH dates.

Oh well with a stacked mtb calendar conflicts are almost guaranteed these days. I suppose as a rider having multiple events to choose from each weekend is a good predicament to be in

Do you have to qualify to race in a national round? Like get a top whatever position in your state series? Or can anyone who wants to register? Considering going to the Illinbah race as it's not to far away but wasn't sure if just anyone could.

No you don't have to qualify to race the nationals. Just register and turn up on the day.
