Back to School Race this weekend AND gravity requirements for Nationals

The first race of the season is this coming Sunday, the Back to School Special, held just outside of Albuquerque by the UNM Lobos!  Check the calendar for links, including the all-important registration deadline!

And yes, here they are, for all of you who have been asking...the gravity requirements for Nationals.  Since the SW does not have a gravity season, new requirements are in place for 2012 for those wanting to apply to attend Nationals for the gravity events.  These requirements bring the SW in line with other conferences who also do not have a gravity season. (Please see the "Nationals" tab for the non-SW requirements if you are interested.  The justification for implementing our new requirements can be found in (l) in red).

The requirements are:

       two cat 1 DH races for DH, or two cat 1 DS/4X races for DS
    (of course these can also be Collegiate A gravity events)

    These qualifying races do not have to be in 2012; then can be in the past within a reasonable period of time (ie 2-3 years ago maximum)

These requirements are to ensure primarily that riders are experienced and safe, especially for these events.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
