Hell yeah

Welcome to the richest leg of downhill racing the world has ever seen. During 10 days in April the worlds best will converge on Australian shores for the start of the IGSA World Tour. Riders from North America, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia will face off against the best riders in Australia for $30,000 in cash and the title of worlds best.

It will be 10 days to examine the soul of a rider and determine if they can come out on top and take the title and the big dollars, or crash in a heap.

Welcome to the Australian World Cup leg, the richest, the biggest, and the craziest show on earth.

As has been pointed out there is no prize money for classic luge this year. All winners will be presented with trophies.

Feel free to email me with complaints about the cost of the event. They are what they are and won't be changing.

Premium Member Comment by sidecar nic on February 6, 2012 at 12:44: Haggy, thanks for the reply but that kind of glosses over my point by not allowing a direct comparison. Yeah the basic entry fee with the early bird is slightly lower but when you factor in the cost of a second discipline plus camping which was previously included and other things which have been left out, it makes a significant increase over all.

Can you please clarify the "massive cheques for all podium athletes"? There's conflicting information regarding this at present since Robbo clearly said this isn't the case. Thanks

Premium Member Comment by haggy on February 6, 2012 at 10:12: @Nic - Entry fees are actually less if you sign up earlybird.

There has never been prize money for inline. For an extra $25 bucks to camp at Newton's you get a whole festival with some great bands. I think that's a good deal.

Premium Member Comment by sidecar nic on February 5, 2012 at 13:16: Regarding the lack of prize money for classic luge and inline - it says "massive cheques for all podium athletes". Does that mean there won't even be a podium presentation for these two disciplines? Or are they just presented with a novelty sized cheque that says "To the amount of nothing"?

I may sound rather cynical but that's because I am! Entry fees increase again and what we actually get for our money is reduced (ie no free breakfasts, having to pay extra to camp at newtons etc etc).

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on February 4, 2012 at 22:53: What's the situation regarding car parking for those wishing to drive down on the day?

Are we able to come in from the back entry of Mt Kiera Rd and park somewhere above the startline?
