“Hard MTB League’s mission is to create the next evolution of mountain bike competition–a new type of event, and league, celebrating the best all-mountain riders on the planet”—Braydon Bringhurst
4 COURSES:
Hard MTB League is designed to be different than any traditional form of mountain bike course in existence today with out-of-the-ordinary obstacles on every one of the four courses:
1. Trail–Technically-challenging rhythm sections with multiple options of timing and jumping
2. Slalom–Raw terrain with off-camber logs in turn apex, etc.
3. Downhill–Gnarly hybrid of rockgardens and log-drop sections
4. Climb–punishingly difficult to ascend without dabbing
RACE FORMAT:
– Each course = Sub-30 seconds to complete
– Combined time determines overall winner
