Brat Class 8U DH: Rider Requirements

This class is for young riders who are comfortable riding most of the trails at our venues. We welcome racers as young as 5, but skill level is more important than age.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Independent Riding: Riders should be able to navigate most trails independently. Walking through challenging sections is perfectly fine! We prioritize fun and safety over pushing beyond comfort zones.
  • Trail Familiarity: We recommend riders have some experience riding the venue’s trails to ensure a positive and enjoyable race.
  • Racing Introduction: This class is meant to introduce young riders to the excitement of MTB racing, not to teach basic riding skills.

Important Note: The Maxxis ESC features some of the most challenging trails in the East. If you’re unsure if your child is ready for racing, please contact us! We want all our young racers to have a safe and fun experience.

SHOWDOWN EVENTS: Brat Class racers can participate in only one discipline during Showdown events.
