XH2O Invitation
This year anticipation is at an all time high as we start the infamous journey to Cronulla's annual freeride event. Our sport is ever increasing in both popularity and riders, therefore as per previous years we may have another record breaking sell out on our hands!
Our event has reached foreign shores yet again and is bringing names such as World number 2 freeride champion Zack Bright and returning World number 5 freeride champion Bruno Jacobs, not forgetting our New Zealand "Champion" himself Norm "Stormin" Mcfarlane!!!
To be held on Friday the 20th of September and continuing into Saturday 21st, we are aiming to hold the event in a more exclusive area of Cronulla Beach, one that we have been working towards since our humble beginnings, and will advise you of the exact location upon approval from all governing bodies.
Again, this years Rip'N Ride will be including the Krash round 1 series, with further details and entry fees to be confirmed.
So, to the important part.....
On Saturday the 13th April 2013 at precisely 7am AEST entry forms for all current registered Members of NSWFA, QFWA, VICFA, SCJSC and also including States and Countries who do not have a freeride club or association ( ie:- TAS, WA, NZ etc ) can enter. Please contact your state freeride association if you have any queries about your membership status.
At 12pm this entry form will be removed and replaced with a non member entry form for any positions that remain.
I am not going to get into any debates this year about the entry process and club memberships, only to say, that if it is not for the clubs that promote our sport and their members, events like this would not be possible and our intention is to support the people that support us.
This year, after last years feedback, we are getting the ball rolling much earlier so people can organise their calendars, holidays and time off around this weekend!
For all the Rookies out there who are reading this and thinking I don't have the skills or riding ability to enter this event, think again.... the Rip'N Ride originated from a BBQ on the beach to get all levels of riders to socialise and learn from each other in a relaxed social atmosphere. Apart from more entrants, better location, increased spectators and a fantastic pool of sponsors with some of the best prizes up for grabs.... nothing has changed. We encourage the newest of riders to join us for a weekend of action and interaction from all aspects of free riding.
We will be advising entry fees asap, keep your eye out on ozfreeride.com, in the mean time, get your memberships up to date, lists will be sent through from all clubs and associations on Friday 12th April, advising current members. Entrants will be confirmed in order based on a completed entry form AND money received. Positions will not be held for those who enter without payment. In addition, monies paid will NOT be refunded to a rider seeking to withdraw from the event within 1 month of the event date. A confirmed entry cannot be transferred to another rider. That position will be forfeited and offered to the next person on the wait list.
