Mini DH racing is about introducing riders to the world of Downhill, we aim our events at the Rippers categories that are unable to race at regional level and then we add Juvenile and youth categories for riders that want to try their hand at racing but may feel they don't want to race competitively just yet . 

The race s are at venues where the tracks are technical but won't have features that can't be rolled or large rock garden features , tracks are aimed to be fun and challenging at the same degree. 

Races are sanctioned by British cycling so a Regional level DH Commissaire will be on hand to oversee that the rules and regulations are adhered to but in a way its not too daunting for the riders or their parents/guardians. 

Riders must have a parent/guardian onsite at all times, we can not take responsibility for their welfare whilst organising the event. 

This is a PUSH UP race as Rippers are not allowed to participate/travel on a uplift sanctioned event. 

AGE CATEGORIES

Rippers U10 = Born 2012 - 2014

Rippers U12 = Born 2010 - 2011

Juvenile = Born 2008 - 2009

Youth = Born 2006 - 2007

Info for Riders

Info for Riders

All riders please note that a Full face helmet and bar plugs are mandatory and will be checked prior to you being allowed on track. We highly recommend that Knee/elbowpads/gloves  along with suitable clothing are worn.

We strongly recommend that Juvenile and Junior riders wear a full back/spine protector. A Neck brace may also be advisable .

Concussion/Head Trauma

We are now implementing that anyrider that has had a head concussion report to the medic immediately and if any rider is seen by a Marshall or a fellow rider , that rider’s number is made aware to the Chief Marshall/Comms  so that he may be directed to the medic. Only once the Medic has deemed you fit to ride will you be allowed back on track.

We aim to have a Race mechanic with us again for the whole weekend, his labour service will be free of charge with any spare parts chargeable, this is available whilst the Event is live. If any repairs are taken in overnight hen he may also charge you for his services.

BIKEWASH,Where possiable we will have a sponsored bikewash , this will be a great opportunity to test out their bikewash products , we will have more news on this soon!

Pro-Pits, we aim to have more collaboration between our series sponsors and the racers, a part of this will be to have these guys close to the finish arena/ Event village. Please browse round as were working hard to bring you guys some great products and race day bargains.

More info will be posted on our event page as it comes in , we will also send you a email  a week before the event.

Many thanks for your support
