Series Format

Each series has two stops. Each stop will have its own podium ceremony with awards and prizes. However, to truly prove that you are the fastest racer in Texas Hill Country you must be consistent and win the overall series title by collecting the most points between the two races.

Results from the first stop coming soon.

Pro Cash Prize

The overall series winners in the pro categories (all ages women and men) will be competing for a cash prize totaling $1,000.

Spectating

Texas is the ultimate birthplace of Tailgating, where the fans manage to make the cheering just as fun as the sport itself. Downhill Mountain Biking is no exception! Even if you’re not riding, we encourage everyone to come out to spectate and cheer on your favorite racers!
