What Is Rocky Trail Academy Racing?
These events truly are unique Australia-wide and they are growing fast with juniors and across adult age groups alike!
Rocky Trail Academy is Australia’s most popular gravity schools enduro series, because you can Race the way you Ride!
Ride up untimed with the crew, then pick whatever track you want. Drop in with your buddies, do a reccy lap or pin a race run. It’s about doing party trains, railing berms and racing all in one day.
- Ride the way you want to ride, with warm up runs, and in any order you want! Make it a cruisy day out mountain biking or treat it like an EWS.
- This is enduro racing with new friends and without a tight schedule.
- Work with your crew and other racers to figure out the best order to race, get strategic!
- Have a cruisy day out on the bike or absolutely smash your legs.
- Elite racer, grom or noob, any age, will have a blast!
Whats the Format?
3 Timed Stages, 5 Runs, Fastest On Each Counts!
- At EVERY RACE we are offer 3 epic, gravity enduro stages called Fox, Stans & Lazer
- Racing is spread over 2 days, you choose what day you race
- We have base rules: No track order. Always five laps. At least 3 tracks. Pro-stage where we can. That’s at least 15 possible race runs and the fastest time on each stage counts!
- Racing starts at 9:00 am and you have till 3:30 pm to complete a minimum of 1 run per track to get a placing
- You choose what order you ride the stages in
- Stages are an average of 2-3 minutes long, with untimed liaisons so take your time and chat with your mates
- Return to the race village at anytime for food, support or to rest!
- The fastest time on each race track gets added up to the final result across skill and age group classifications.
- Get ready to have an awesome day out as you smash down our Fox Superflow® race tracks to hunt down those precious seconds for the win!
Why Schools choose Rocky Trail Academy
- At selected venues with the appropriate track choices, we will be adding the additional 4th Pro Stage for highly experienced Elite, U21 and Master racers who choose to participate in this additional classification.
- Our goal is to help riders enjoy bikes as much as possible, and for some, that means progressing their riding and racing to a more challenging level.
- For the Pro Stages you will need to wear a compliant full face and we encourage pads (in some rounds we are using portions or all of the venue’s DH tracks)
- Our Pro Stages are EWS-inspired, which is very specific in both ascent liaison elevation and the need for technical descents
- We have expended significant funds to be compliant in timing and administration, therefore the Pro Stages are a realistic training (and play) ground for aspiring gravity racers
- We dream of Rocky Trail Racers breaking to the next level and racing on the world stage

Eco Certification
All Rocky Trail events have the Ecotourism Australia Nature Certification status. This ECO Certification program is a world first and it has been developed to address the need to identify genuine nature and ecotourism operators. This means that with Rocky Trail you are guaranteed to be part of a genuine and authentic trail-based nature experience that looks after the environment.
Our Sustainability Pledge – We encourage our racers to follow some simple tips to ‘tread softly’ when visiting the bush and minimise damage to the natural environment. These guidelines are laid out in our Sustainability Policy and will be communicated and encouraged via Rider Briefings and at the events.
