DRCC Dirt Jam

PRESS RELEASE: DRCC DIRT JAM

To Whom It May Concern:

The D’Aguilar Range Cycle Club would like to give you the opportunity to attend an extreme mountain biking event to be held on Sunday November 12. The event aims to increase the profile of bike riding, especially to youth culture. This community event is run by a DRCC which is a non-profit organization focussed at the grassroots level of the sport.

Current Australian representative, and professional rider, Darren Pokoj, is headlining the event. Darren is currently competing in the fastest growing aspect of the sport. He has won an international invitation event in Vienna, and also competed at the renowned Crankwork slopestyle competition in Whistler, Canada.

In 2005, we ran the event with nearly 100 competitors and around 300 spectators. With the reputation we gained from last year’s event, we are aiming to build on this in 2006. We invite all forms of media to be involved in the event to gain exposure to a broad demographic.

Please feel free to discuss anything regarding the event, or other promotions you may be running at any time.

Thanking you in advance for your support.

[Drew.]

Can we get a bit more info on the categories?

I saw on a flyer at toowoomba the categories are:
u15
u18
18+

Can anyone elaborate on this? Do you get a choice which set to jump? Any details?

 

[leitch]

Do you get a choice which set to jump?

haven't got anything concrete, but from what i've heard its just whatever jumps you want to hit (out of the two sets)... i might go have a chat to Gav about it tomorrow and come back with some solid info for you all

 

[bowzaa]

Would be good to come up but needs to be later lol exams end like the day before

 

[Scott]

[i like dirt]

for a start, you don't have to win.. you can just enter and have fun. i know of at least one u15 BMX rider who will probably be there, and if he is will be doing things like one handed no footers, big whips and flatties, etc... you don't have to be pulling backflips and 360s to be in it and have a bit of fun..
