Thinking of racing but unsure where to start?

This one-day downhill workshop is an introduction to racing targeted at intermediate to advanced riders who are interested in entering the racing community. Participants will have the opportunity to run through a day in the life of racing, learning how to assess course conditions, explore line options, work through features and technical course sections with guidance. This coached session will enable racers to consolidate and refine their skills while building confidence in their ability to successfully navigate a BC Cup racecourse. The workshop will allow for repetition and feedback which will enable riders to test themselves in a safe, low-pressure environment so that riders can reflect on how line choice and preparation affect the outcome of each run.

This workshop is open to riders aged 11 to 22 (born 1999 to 2010) who are comfortable riding sustained descents on black diamond trails. This workshop is designed for new racers and riders with minimal race experience.

 I took one of these courses about 20 years ago in preparation for the old Bear Mountain race. And 20 years of having a blast racing DH since then. If you're on the fence, DO IT! It's a great way to get your first race under your belt, and after that it's a lifetime in the DH scene!

 Just a start my friend! If it gains traction there may be more in the future.

 What possible reason could there be for capping the age at 22?

 The goal is to account for age dynamics in similar groups, ie kids, youth and young adults. I am happy to accommodate adults but felt there would be less interest from that demographic. Were you interested?
