2019 Downhill State Series dates & locations announced!!

Below are the dates & locations for this years 2019 State Series & Club events, these races are additional to the Summer Series already announced. You will notice there are more events added than we had last year, with the extra addition of the Summer Series the year will be jam packed with events!

For the State Series events we have tried to prioritise the more challenging tracks & also aimed for as many fully shuttled rounds as possible.

We are currently working on getting some riders from over east to attend one or more events for the 2019 season to bring some more fresh competition.

2019 will see the introduction of several new venues & tracks.

* Linga Longa are building a Downhill specific track being designed by Sam Hill, this will feature in State Round 6.

* A new track is being constructed at Yarloop.

* State Round 5 location to be announced at a later date.

* State Champs move to Nannup for 2019.

* Return of Club Rounds with a Dwellingup Super D format.

* Walshy Cup charity event location to be announced at a later date.

The season will start at Nannup on a different track to last years round, State Champs will be on the track we ran last year.

We will also be announcing some other events such as:

* Shuttle days

* Coaching clinics

* Come & try days

The club is also busy working in the background on new tracks at Dwellingup & Wellington Mill and we have other clubs working on new locations for the 2020 season!

The official Calendar / Poster will be released shortly with a string of new club sponsors which is great to see.

Please note as our club is a not-for-profit organisation, any money made from these events will be going straight back into trail maintenance, track building & future events so, if you want to see more DH in W.A it is vital people support these events!

More info to come in the following weeks.

New Series for 2019!!

Here is a sneak peek OF what we have in stall for Summer 2019, a Dual Slalom 3 Round Series. We will be releasing the locations in the new year so stay tuned.

The idea of these races is to make them inexpensive and available to all, doesn’t matter if you have a DH bike, trail bike or bmx you can have a crack. Entry discount will be offered to PDMBC members, everyone is welcome!

Also we are still looking for a few more sponsors for 2019. Do you have a business you would like to promote?

With PDMBC being a not for profit club run by volunteers our club sponsors are critical to our success, sponsor funds go towards medals, prizes & race setups.

Stay tuned for further updates on the summer series & the DH State Series for 2019 will also be released early in the new year.

Special thanks goes to Sean Lee for use of his photo’s!

WALSHY CUP UPDATE

Weather forecast is looking perfect for both days so we are still planning on having the race village & camping area at the top of the hill so everyone can enjoy the action and the view!

ADDRESS
Hoffman Road Yarloop, simply follow the signage & witches hats. This is the usual shuttle road, NO ACCESS TO TYLER ROAD PERMITTED. This is private property so strictly no access outside of this weekend’s race times.

PARKING
We will have signage out for parking & someone directing parking in the morning, there is a specific area for camping & day parking.

NO RECKLESS DRIVING of any kind will be tolerated. Please keep in mind we are on a farm & the land owners wishes must be respected, anyone caught not obeying these rules will be asked to leave immediately.

PLEASE NOTE – FIRE BAN
We will not be allowed any fires so please keep in mind if you are planning on camping.

PRIVATE LAND – NO DOGS
Please remember the Kau family are being kind enough to let us use there land to not only race but to camp as well so please respect their wishes & leave the doggos at home this weekend.

FOOD
Our lovely canteen lady Sally will be cooking up her usual storm during both Sat & Sunday. We will have dinner organised for those that notified us.

As mentioned before we will have a big screen playing MTB movies on the Sat night for those wishing to camp. I believe we may have a replay of Rampage.
