'AWS' Urban Downhill Race In Wanaka, NZ

New Zealand's FIRST Urban Down Hill Race was a huge success in Wanaka with a great turn out of competitors coming far and wide to hit the streets of Wanaka! Spectators made a day of it too with up to 200 screaming fans cheering on riders at the 'Red Rock Bar' stairs!

For many competitors this was actually their first race, with the course suiting most riding abilities as it wasn't as steep as a traditional downhill race course. The race categories were wide spread with many kids making the most of the unusual low age group for a topical down hill race.

A big thank you to 'AWS' for making it all possible

Thanks to Laurel Morrison, Mark Morrison and Nick Busse who have worked together with myself over the last 6 months to make New Zealand's first Urban Downhill Race an enjoyable event for all!

Cheers,

Dan
