YT IS HERE FOR #GOODTIMES WITH ROCKY TRAIL ENTERTAINMENT THIS WEEKEND AT TOOWOOMBA!
FOR THE BEST TIME, CHECK OUT THE RIDER BRIEFING POWERED BY YT BELOW!
RACE THE WAY YOU RIDE
Welcome to the Fox Superflow® 2022 at Toowoomba in the beautiful Darling Downs region!
VIRTUAL RIDER BRIEFING
After a cracking round 1 in Nerang we now head up The Range to Jubilee Park in Toowoomba. The weather has been good so riders will have had more time on the bike to lay down some fast runs this weekend. It is the first time on the Rocky Trail calendar we bring the very popular Fox Superflow® format to the Darling Down region and we hope to see lots of new riders join us on the trails.
We are also excited to offer the PRO track for the first time in QLD, which is an option on Sunday to add and complete the 4 tracks across the day.
Format at Toowoomba:
- You pick Sat OR Sun as your race day.
- Pro Stage on Sunday (= 3x Fox Superflow® stages plus additional 4th Superflow® Pro stage)
- Fox Superflow® classification for 3 race stages for all riders
- IF you select Pro for Sunday you will get an ADDITIONAL ranking for the 4-stages (3+Pro).
Remember the PRO track idea is to test the riders who are looking for more technical trails and help develop the pathway towards events such as Downhill and EWS rounds. The PRO track requires full face helmet and protective gear.
- All track runs are live timed so check your result as you cross the line.
- PRIZE Ceremony: MTB DIRECT sponsors over $20,000 worth of online vouchers for this year’s series for your next shopping spree on their site for 1-2-3 category podium getters!
- Giveaways from our sponsors.
