Oh cheers for the link to the thread

 

[Avalanche-Dave]

my first reply!! Great video. Do you need a full face helmet to go in the race or is a normal (ie fox flux) helmet ok to wear?

 

[K3lvinator]

Great question I'm assuming you dont but not certian, has anyone emailed to ask cos I havent recieved any response so far?

 

[andy]

I asked and no you don't need one. The track isn't that hard.

Check this link, action starts at 7 mins. Big Dan found this one. Good example of what we might expect or like to see.

[te rahi tahi]

what is the Garapine race?

 

[Avalanche-Dave]

check out the gravity mtb website and then click on the garapine info button at the top. It tells you about the race.

 

[K3lvinator]

Anyone know of any photos, magazines ect that have anything about the race day?

I don't know about photos but Channel 7 was there and I presume that will take some time to finish their story as they were at the Cedar Creek race too. I'd love to see the results though, the Gravity main page isn't fully loading for me. It's strange to race and have no idea where I came, especially being my first time in Elite.

18th overall and 8th in elite for you. The results are linked in the other thread.

Heres a older article I discovered....

Here's a little video I made of the race. Its only the top of the track and I only got about 4 minutes all up, and this is the best stuff.
