| 2017 |
| In 2017 we will bring you more DH races than ever before: together with the main DH clubs in NSW we are bringing you a series based on the success of 2016. 3 races will be run by Rocky Trail and the others by the clubs with points going towards the series. |
| Format |
Based on the popularity of the 2016 event format we will continue doing it that way in 2017. Here is the format explained:
| |
RedAss Downhill |
| Shuttles |
Yes |
| Number of tracks |
One track that you ride twice - the faster of the two times counts
Thredbo being the exception where you only race the track once. We will have seeding runs for some if not all categories. |
| Recommended bikes |
Downhill bikes and 5-6 inch travel All-Mountain bikes |
| Protective gear |
Full face helmet is a requirement. U17 and younger categories also must wear knee and elbow guards as well as full finger gloves.
We further recommend neck and back protection. |
| Tracks used |
Only downhill. Challenging descents. Most technical features have B-lines. |
| Start order |
Traditional DH start order with fixed times when you need to be at the startgate. |
