Just entered too. Whats the deal with riding rheola outside of events? Is it cool? And whats the best/quickest way to push up?

Nice one Smiley
Pushing's cool - but don't drive.  NO UPLIFTS, INNUM  Smiley
The shortest/quickest way is up the track.  It's a long way round on the fire road, and you'll meet mining lorries.  Probably.

Thanks bob!

I was just watching a video from rheola last year, and it looked like the steep chute off the fireroad with an immediate right afterwards was abit different to what it did 2-3 years ago. Has it been made easier, as I can remember it being pretty damn steep, but really really rutted aswell. Looked pretty smooth in the video, with a berm at the bottom, instead of a sheet of mdf!

Yeah, its been made easier... its been removed. You now come in from the side at a much shallower angle - but you then hit the next section much faster, which in my experiance is more painful Wink

Lol, got bad memories of that chute, so it can only be a good thing that its gone!

Star wars as been made easier then, aswell as the chute? You would have thought the tracks would be getting harder with the types of bikes most of us are riding these days! At least I've got a chance in getting down in one piece now Wink Ha.

Was up there Saturday and found it riding good... few bits need sorting out like that step down jump before the northshore.. there is NO lip and i nearly died trying to launch it. I also died in starwars but that was my own fault! Awesome track and looking forward to racing it! Gonna be a laugh.

If you've raced already this season you reuse the old numberboard and timing chip.  If not, you get your board when you sign on, and you'll need a fiver deposit for the timing chip unless you already have one from a previous series.

Anyone know who 'Adam Wiles' is? He seems to be booked on to the Rheola uplift on the 7th...Just seems a bit random that it's not the most common name in the world and he's booked on to an uplift I was going to

...or there's some dirty weirdo out there that's stolen my name...?
