NMTBC Downhill Series- 2021 Round 5 FDH

POSTPONED- NEW DATE NOV 28TH- MORE INFO COMING SOON!

September 19, 2021 @ 8:00 am

NMTBC’s DH Series is focused on fun and friendly competition. We encourage new riders to DH racing through this series but will also often see some of the fastest riders in NZ competing in our events.

Downhill (DH) mountain bike racing is a format of racing that pushes rider skill and fitness to the limits. It takes place on fast, steep, technical, rough tracks. Riders take it in turns to see who can get from start to finish the fastest. Riders will normally get to walk the track prior to the race, then have a limited opportunity for practice runs before seeding and racing. Seeding is a single run that determines the race run order. The benefit of being first in seeding is that you get to race last, and therefore often know what time you need to beat in your race run.
