About WSMTB Down Hill & Gravity Social Day

All trails at Del Rio will be open and able to be ridden on a Downhill/Social Day. One trail will be selected to be timed and riders will be ranked on their two best times. Timed runs will commence at approximately midday but will vary round to round dependent on rider numbers. Whilst these events have been designated as DH races the trails used in each event have A, B and in some cases C lines and as such can be ridden and raced on Trail, Enduro or Downhill bikes as long as the rider possesses the required ability and experience to ride technical trails. When not completing their race runs, riders will be able to continue to ride the other trails at the venue. Shuttles will be available from 9-3 pm approximately.

Riders who wish to participate in the Social Day but not race in the Downhill race are welcome.

Juniors

Riders under the minimum age can enter after contacting gravity@wsmtb.com discuss rider ability.
