GoPro: Australian Open Downhill Course Preview - Cannonball MTB Festival
Take a run with David McMillan & Tom Crimmins on the Australian Open Downhill Course for the Cannonball MTB Festival 2015.
The main event, the Toyota Australian Open DH on Thredbo’s famous Cannonball Downhill, will take riders to their physical and mental limits. The 3.5km course of fast, intense, non-stop gravity starts at the top of the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift and will be the best one yet. We will see the return of the old favourite, the no holds barred Thredbo Fire Road and this is exclusive to the Toyota Australian Open DH. Along with other substantial changes that will widen sections and add more fall line riding, this event also has the biggest prize purse on the Australia DH calendar.
The Toyota Cannonball Festival is back for 2015 and promises dirt, vert and freewheeling action as some of the world’s best mountain bike riders mix it with rising stars and amateur enthusiasts to take home their share of the massive $45,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs.
Thredbo is Australia’s home of Gravity Mountain biking, and the five events across three days showcase the diversity of the terrain on offer in the Snowy Mountains. The line-up of events includes the side by side Sram Dual Compressor, RockShox Pump Track Challenge on Thredbo’s new look pump track, the ODI Whip Wars Big Air, Maxxis Flow Motion Cup and the jewel in the crown, the Toyota Australian Open Downhill.
Voted MTB Event of the Year at the Mountain Bike Australia Achievement Awards at the 2015 National Championships, the Cannonball Festival attracts riders from across the nation and some internationally across most skill levels, the event is a great introduction to the world of mountain bike racing.
Consistency is King and of course Queen - back for 2015 is the Cannonball King and Queen of the Mountain awarded to the best overall pro rider from the weekend that competes in the four main events - the higher you place, the more you score.
Both sides of the resort will be pumping during the three day long mountain biking celebration. The mountain will be going off with incredible biking action while the village enjoys an awesome line-up of DJ’s and live music.
