Okay, you get to choose five venues from any part of Australia and from any time in Australian downhill history. One of the events has to be the champs, the other four are points rounds. You need to make a list of five venues with some good reasons why that venue should be on the national calendar.
Here is an example:
Round 1 - Cairns world champs track from the 90's. I've been told that this course was a true downhill venue with a real gnarly feel to it. This would test the riders who've never ridden such terrain.
Round 2 - Majura Pines in ACT. Why? Why not! I love riding Majura. It needs to use the top of the hill with the sealed shuttle road. Close to a major city, accommodation right there etc. Any venue in Canberra would do, maybe even the old Blue Range venue.
Round 3 - Mt Buller.......with bulk rain. Enough said.
Round 4 - Mt Sugarloaf from the late 90's (as seen is some older movies). Yep, same deal, great track, close enough to get to and worth a look for spectators.
National champs - Coffs Harbour. Great track, close to plenty of accommodation and an airport. Plenty of nice girls on tap.
This is in no way related to anything organised for the MTBA national series! It is all hypothetical.
What would your dream series be?
