MTB racing at its best

The Thredbo Gravity Series returns this summer with five fun rounds of racing across a diverse range of gravity trails throughout the Thredbo MTB Park.

The first round, Ricochet Rumble, took place on Sunday December 11 with racers scoring some early season points.

The Pump Track Party is round two on Saturday March 18. Momentum is key as racers generate as much speed as possible without a single pedal stroke.

From the start mound you will be unweighting through a series of perfectly placed rollers, tables and doubles.

The fastest lap time will see you take the honours on the Village Green Pump Track.

Round three is Cruiser Crusher on Sunday March 19. A new event to the Gravity Series, the Cruiser Crusher will see a brand new race course that has never been raced in Thredbo MTB history.

This round will feature lots of unknowns and will be one not to be missed. The new race course in the Cruiser Mountain Bike Area has a mix of high speed straights and flowing berms. Although it’s short and sweet, this course will be a test for all levels of riders to dial in those corners.

The Supertrail Scramble on Sunday April 2 is round four of the Gravity Series. Mildly technical, racers will start on the upper Cannonball Downhill before switching to the Kosciuszko Flow at Kareela Hutte.

Hopefully,with plenty of gas left in the tank, riders will take on the long trail ahead. Traversing back and forth across the slopes of the Supertrail, racers will switch back to the Cannonball Downhill for the next technical section, Bunny Walk. Prepare for high speed gravity all the way from here to the finish line.

Chainless Champs is the fifth and final round of the Gravity Series on Monday

April 24. This will see all competitors remove their chain before pumping and holding speed down a 400m vertical race course from the start of Centre Link to the Valley Terminal base station.

With overall points on the line, Chainless Champs will feature a whole lot of banter from the sidelines and many tactics to determine who will come out as the Thredbo Gravity Series Champion.

Don’t forget your fancy dress costume one lucky winner will score a prize pack during the prestigious fashion parade at presentations.
