Race 1 - Dual Slalom - Friday 21st February, 2025

Eagle Mountain Bike Park

About Dual Slalom

Dual Slalom is a ski-inspired event, where two riders race against each other on two identical tracks side-by-side, with the same jumps and berms, with a rider on each track. The tracks are fairly short, downhill tracks of moderate difficulty. After the first run, the riders swap tracks and complete a second run. Both runs are timed, and the rider with the fastest combined time wins the heat.

The contest is a knockout format, with a series of heats, until there are only 2 riders left that compete in the final.

You will need a current AusCycling All-Discipline or Off-Road license to ride these events for insurance purposes. You do not have to be a member of Gravity Girls SA.

Bring your license card / digital membership with you to sign-on! If this is your first try at racing you can get a FREE 4 week trial membership (only for people who have not held a CA or MTBA membership in the last 3 years). The 4 week trial membership commences from the day you sign up to the trial, so if you are considering a trial membership and wish to compete in all 3 races of the series, we suggest only commencing the trial a day or two before the first race.
