The skills stations will be open for practice between 9.30am and 10.30am on race day.

The XC race will be handicapped according to the scores obtained in the skills session.

The time and distance of any race may be altered at the discretion of the Chief Commissaire.

Skills stations will be as follows:

1. Track Stand

• Each zone is failed if either wheel goes outside of the box or a rider puts a foot down.

1. Skinnies

• Riders must ride along progressively narrower planks and remain within the marked area when moving from one plank to another.
• Each zone is failed if either wheel slips off the side of the plank, either wheel touches or crosses the boundary of the marked area or a rider puts a foot down.

1. Slalom

• Riders must cross a progressively twistier course remaining within the marked area. Riders may hop their bike in to position to remain within the marked area.
• Each zone is failed if either wheel crosses the boundary of the marked area, or a rider puts a foot down.
