RACE THE NATIONAL CHAMPS DH TRACK
DH STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The existing and growing talent in Tasmania in the gravity MTB disciplines is undeniable. Maydena Bike Park is proud to be hosting this year’s Tasmanian Downhill State Championships on March 30th and 31st. Over Easter weekend we look forward to having the Tasmanian DH crowd for an incredible weekend of racing down another version of our renowned DH track “The Natty”.
THE TRACK
“THE NATTY” DH TRACK
The course combines fast, open speedway sections with wide, off-camber tech. Riders descend 400m in elevation, over a 3–4-minute race run. With a few changes to the track and alignment there will be new options that riders need to adapt to in order to take the State Championship Easter weekend.
