Glenorchy Nationals race- huge success


The dust has settled on a near perfect weekend of racing at the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park. Some of the world's fastest racers fronted to battle at one of Australia's most famous mountain bike parks. Dirt Art had spent two weeks prior to the event prepping the downhill track, and building a brand new short course cross-country loop. The event was the best yet at the park, with near perfect racing conditions, plenty of spectators, and some of Australia's finest trails. The formula one event of the weekend- the downhill race saw hot competition on a feshly prepared Dirt Art race track. The new track received raved reviews all weekend, as it challenged even the most advanced riders. Elite mens national series champion Josh Button has publicly claimed on a number of occaisions that this is the best downhill track on the national circuit. On behalf of the Dirt Art team I would like to throw out a huge thanks to all the event directors and volunteers who made the race such a success.
