Will the hamsterly series include 4x?   

It could be like the world cup rounds,  downhill and 4x at 1 venue.

Possibly, although i doubt it. It would be a lot to put on over a short time. Imagunung tehre was 3 rounds - that would mean 6 race days in a few months. Great if they did though,

Speaking of Hamsterley, has anyone been there over the weekend? The new section is class!

It would only be 3 weekends though, i think it would be pretty good seeing as the north doesnt have any 4x races at all.

But you'd ahve people wanting to do both (such as myself) and people wanting to do full practice days on both the DH and 4X. I think they tried it a while back, and it didnt work too well.

Well you would have to choose, like at the world cups. Many riders have tried to do both but few have succeeded.

Sorry, the point was the field sizes would be limited if that was the case. Nothing to do with choice. Should have made it a bit more clear.
