Update 22/05/2015:
Saturday Practice was 1300 – late, but is now capped for 3 hours only from 1300 – 1600. Any riding practice outside these times will result in disqualification.
Update 18/05/2015:
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR ROUND 4 AT THE GOAT FARM: MTBA is recognising Gravity Enduro as a legitimate racing format which is great for the sport, and as such, we are in a year of transition in terms of regulations and equipment.
The MTBA National Series is running in unison with our State round on June 14th at the Goat Farm.
The MTBA National Series requires a MANDATORY fullface helmet, whereas our State round only requires an open-face helmet (this is due to the transition phase of bringing in fullface helmets for 2016).
If you are wearing a fullface helmet, your race earns points for both the MTBA National Round Series and the WA Gravity Enduro Series. You are eligible for all MTBA podium places on the day and MTBA prizemoney.
If you are not wearing a fullface helmet, you are only racing as a part of WA Gravity Enduro and your points will be allocated to this series after the event.
This is a very generous arrangement by MTBA as we all make the transition in 2015.
WA Gravity Enduro has requested this of MTBA to enable all current riders to take part in the event, as we understand fullface helmets are costly and should help alleviate an immediate purchase for this round.
With Golden Grove behind us and a tough Balingup finale round, we strongly advise that a fullface helmet be eventually purchased as its great to have the optional equipment to choose from.
Fullface helmets will be mandatory for all MTBA Gravity Enduro races in 2016.

It is expected that riders participating in the MTBA Gravity Enduro National Series will continue to participate in a way that places the safety of riders above other considerations. As such, no person should ever feel penalised or discouraged from stopping to assist another injured rider.
Any rider who comes across an injured rider must stop to render assistance, unless directly indicated by the injured rider that they do not require assistance. They should instruct the next rider to pass to notify the next marshal point of the incident, location and perceived severity.
All riders who stop to render assistance will be given the opportunity to re-start their timed run of that stage.
