That is so f'ing cool. I wish we had some races like this around here. I always mess up a part during a race run and it bothers me for days after the event. If i had the opportunity to take a couple of timed runs, i would be totally satisfied with myself even if i didn't get a podium.

Australia, we need more trails in Pine forests. Everything is out in the dry Eucalypt and gets too blown out. I know a massive untouched pine forest near Barjarg. Shuttelable and untouched, but it is owned by a logging company that hasn't been there in years Also, must have been a while back, Delfs is still on the Pivot

That's awesome. A comp thats totally down to earth and about the riding. No numbers, no spectators.

Looks like such a nice natural track. Nice loamy-ish soil too. Looks super fun.

Very nice edit. The ending was fab, just how calm and professional it was.
Looks like it was a right day

What is bunting?

extention (Mar 9, 2011 at 18:43)

The plastic tape that lines the track

tom-cuthbert (Mar 9, 2011 at 19:13)

Or kicking a football like a gimp.

ShastaOutdoorMedia (Mar 9, 2011 at 19:39)

Yeah I was wondering about that...last I knew, it was a type of bird. Tape is lame anyways unless there's like multiple trail splitoffs...but it looks pro and I guess that's kinda the point too

Bjammin (Mar 9, 2011 at 20:53)

IMO they should only tape tracks where theres a fork, it gets distracting when its on the whole track.

candymuffin (Mar 10, 2011 at 9:07)

no tape is good. it prevents people from taking sneaky lines makes it too easy to cheat

dom69foco (Mar 10, 2011 at 9:29)

@shred-nz-media i thought that was punting?

DownHillCooper (Mar 9, 2011 at 15:59) (Below Threshold)

because how can u have a race with sponsors and have be underground? underground is when the public doesnt know about it- and here they are putting it on pb for the world to see

captyvatemedia (Mar 9, 2011 at 16:09)

Mate, at the time it was Underground, no-one knew about it except the riders and a select few others. We wanted this event to be legit, so we got some sponsors backing it, and got some prizes and support to host such a huge event. It might not look it, but this event on an Australian, even world scale, is pretty big. We had 5 top 10 Aussie Riders, $10,000 in prizes and cash, and it all was under the radar, and now has been released for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Did you enjoy the video? Because really, that's all that matters.

skippy888 (Mar 9, 2011 at 17:20)

Whats wrong with underground races? Underground parties rock. Do the math. Keep it real.

extention (Mar 9, 2011 at 17:46)

@ DownhillCooper
This race was set up by [R]evolution Mag not only as a race but as something to provide them with an exclusive to run in the mag. It was fully legit and followed on from a similar event run last year. Now the race has been run in the mag of coursr they are going to use it as publicity.

tbalue3587 (Mar 9, 2011 at 20:42)

Bull shit its fake! I respect the crap out of these dudes and wish Colorado would take notes. Underground racing is the dopest thing ive ever seen!

dom69foco (Mar 10, 2011 at 9:31)

you think they printed off a fake $1000 cheque? you americans have no faith in humanity do ya

divion (Mar 10, 2011 at 11:52)

I must say that reading these comments I find them quite childish! Underground or not! legit or not! Yawnnnnn !
Can we not all just appreciate the fact that this clip showcases some amazing riding talent as well brilliant filming & editing from a young Australian filmmaker who is only 15: Ty Bowmaker!

Also congratulations to Revolution Magazine for supporting riders with opportunities to earn hard cash & a fresh venue in the Australian bush! what a superb concept!

THOSE WHO CAN, DO! those who can't are critics!

DownHillCooper (Mar 10, 2011 at 14:10)

but that destroys the point of it being underground. are you sure you know what underground means?

extention (Mar 10, 2011 at 14:31)

It was an underground race now its not. Its more of a name for an invite only private event than enything

tbalue3587 (Mar 11, 2011 at 20:49)

DownHillCooper is a big douche. Just respect these riders and give em credit. Youre just jealous because you live in New York with no good riding. Are you sure you even know what downhill is brah...

DownHillCooper (Mar 12, 2011 at 16:47)

bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DownHillCooper (Mar 13, 2011 at 5:57)

and where do you live? utah? by the way- iv got to of the best best east coast bike parks not to far away. ever heard of the US Open? yea eat dirt because i do know what dh is and having those really whimpy comments is just reflecting who you really are.

joshbb1 (Aug 5, 2011 at 21:51)
