During Ekstremsportveko 2024, you have the opportunity to compete in a Pumptrack competition.

PROGRAM

  • Registration: 13:30 - 15:00

  • Competition: 15:30 - 18:00

Competition Format

Training
There will be official training scheduled prior to the competition. Only participants with race bibs have access to the track.

Competition
The competition format is a solo format. This means that there is only one cyclist on the track at a time, and the goal is to complete the designated course as quickly as possible. Each participant gets two attempts to achieve the best possible time in the qualification. The 8 participants with the best times will advance to a final, where athletes will have one attempt.


CLASSES

  • Junior girls (13-18)
  • Junior boys (13-18)
  • Women (18+)

General rules

  • All participants compete at their own responsibility and risk, and are responsible for ensuring that their equipment functions properly. Ekstremsportveko recommends that everyone has their own insurance.

  • Cyclists can use the bike of their choice but cannot have a motor (applies to junior and athletes 18+).

  • Registration for the competition is done through Ekstremsportveko's website and registration system.
