The Riders, Thanks for your patience on Sunday and the all round good spirit both days on the hill, to the guys that suffered Injury’s, get well soon ready for a 2011 assault.

Also Thanks to our World Champ Sam Hill for attending accompanied by Monster Energy and signing autographs for the Fans all Day.

Firstly we would like to sincerely Apologize for the Timing error that resulted in the loss of the second run, the timing error couldn’t have had happened at a worse time for us being at the Premier Event to end WA’s season.

We apologize to those who would have obviously been handicapped in some way with results only being taken from Run 1.

Bec & Myself who control the timing are just as gutted about the situation as we do pride our self on bringing high quality results every race.

From the producers: Life Cycles tells a spectacular story of the bike, from its creation to its eventual demise. A visually stunning journey, with thought provoking narration, Life Cycles uses Ultra HD to document the many stories surrounding the mountain bike and its culture.

Ride along into breath taking natural settings, as we battle the elements, showcase the progression of riding, take a road trip, fix the bike, and show the destruction and eventual creation of trails.

Semenuk, Hopkins, Schwartz, McIntosh, McCaul Agassiz, Hunter and Vanderham guide you through this wonderful story. Life Cycles is a celebration of the bicycle, and is sure to entertain anyone who has ever ridden one.

Visitto see the official trailer http://vimeo.com/14600175

The film is being screened at the Cygnet Cinema in Como on Monday November 1. Doors open at 6.30pm, and the film will show at 7.30. Tickets will be $20 and be available online soon. Tickets can also be purchased at the door, at the Garvey Park Dirt Crits and the DH State Championships. All money raised on the night will be going to support WAMBA’s trail advocacy work to improve our trail network.

This will also be a chance to hear about the developments at the Goat Farm and the Kalamunda Circuit, and your chance to get involved in helping to determine the future direction of trail advocacy in WA.

PLUS Amateur Film Competition

Further to this I’d like to invite all the film makers out there to submit their best work with the chance to have your film screened on the night. We want you to show us what you think riding in WA is all about, be it racing, cruising, DH, XC, AM, Street, DJ or FR. We’d like to showcase a variety of riding from around the state.

Do it however you like, but please keep the following in mind:
- Do not show riding on illegal trails.
- Submit via Vimeo or Youtube link if you like, but please have a hi-res, good quality version ready to go in case your movie ends up being screened.
- Aim for around 5 minutes, but we aren’t getting too worried if it’s a little over or under.
- Originality and variety will go a long way.
- Don’t be crude.

Submissions should be made no later than Friday 29th October, however if you approach me nicely I can wait until Saturday. As mentioned before I will take Youtube, Pinkbike or Vimeo links but you’ll need to have your movie ready for a full-on cinema screening too. If you’re chosen you will be contacted immediately so we can arrange pickup/delivery of the high quality version to prepare for the screening.

Interested in ordering one of these flash new shirts, talk to your lovely ladies at the rego tent to pre order @ $20.

Available in Red, Green and Blue.

Just putting this out there now as we approach what always is the best weekend of the downhill year, State Champs.

Online rego is open, use it please, rock up, grab your plate and of you go, yes, there is State Champ plates being made.

Also,

If everyone could just do their best when it comes to parking and driving to the event, as everyone knows that has been to Tom’s, it’s not the best venue for ample parking, so if people could their best to car pool on the way to event, even from where you are staying in town, if people in 4wd’s could do their best to swing round and pull in via the lower road it would be much appreciated, we’re also trying to trim up the roads to make some more room as well. There will be no parking available around the turn around ring due to the area being reserved for sponsors tenting, all other riders are welcome to set up tents and area’s behind the event area at the base of the hill to save travel to from vehicles that may be parked far away, any tents or sign age advertising local business that is not supporting the event is not permitted.
For this event the buses will not be using the entrance road but the T section at the bottom needs to be clear at all times as that will be the pick up point for shuttles.

I will endeavour to have a event map up by the end of the week.

For Everyones Interest,

Ok, Ok, Like sands through the hour glass, time moves on, and things move with time.

For a while we have had a good deal, more a blind eye turned, with being able to shuttle up in the back of ute’s and so forth as long as guys were kitted up, unfortunately that is no longer going to be tolerated and you need to be inside a vehicle, seat belt on whilst using the shuttle roads in dwellingup.

The tracks we use to access the trials are gazetted roads, so you can be fined by either DEC or The Fuzz.

Cheers Housey
Peel District MTB Club.
