If we buy tickets to the lifts when we sign up (for Thurs and Fri) how do we get them? Are they in a computer in Buller waiting for us, or are they sent to us? Because I'm leaving in 2 days, and I signed up 4 days ago. I really don't want to have to get things sent to my Accom in Buller...
All in a computer, just rock up to the bike shop in the village to pick them up.
Cheers, Isaac.

Hey downhillers,
Can't go have to work! But there a crew of junior downhill dudes from Porepunkah and Bright attending to do damage, hopefully only to their times!

Good Luck Macca and Harry!!

Will they be using the Double Wallride before the Fire Road section ?

Ive never scene, nore tried it as it wasnt aloud in the Vic Series as to many people where getting hurt.

Will it be included in the Nationals Race ?

i think i read somwhere that they were going to use the wallride but im not too sure. i have been there and done it before. from what i can remember the run in is harder than the actual wallride plus its rollable. but will be looking forward to seeing how they B-line it because it will have to be done and if they rund the switchbacks as the b-line they are faster

It's possible the A line will be the wallride and the B line will be the switchbacks with extra slowness added (to penalise the B liners). I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Thats the idea but we are not to sure yet. MTBA want to run the wallride only, but i think the b line will be a good idea. It will save a bottleneck and save some injurys!
Cheers, Isaac.

Sounds fair enough then. Ive ridden the B-lines and there easy for every rider just can get sideways when dusty :rolleyes:

Anyone got a photo of the Wallride ? Gotta check it out..

Super Masters - $120
Grand Masters - $120

Thats the prices on the Rego sheet online !

There is usually a late entry fee which i was after, i was well aware of the pre/online rego costs. It's always an extra $10 so i'd assume it to be the same here.

It's $30 according to http://www.mtbuller.com.au/summer/month_event_full.aspx?EventId=4699 (yes excessive I know). You can fax an entry in tomorrow still (entry form is here), not sure but I hope that's exempt from the extra charges. The fax number is 03 5777 7801. If you don't have a fax machine, PM me immediately (before 10pm tonight) and I'll fax one in for you tonight.

Edit: No longer going up...

Sorry bud, having not raced at Buller for the last 8 years I was not quite aware if they ran the International track or not.. International (when it first started) was rarely used as the shit it had was a bit too full on for the average Joe Blow..

Nice to hear International is being run though, that's a cool track :)

Cheers,
Theo
