| Red Bull Rock Drop: A Subterranean Downhill Assault on the Martha Mine |
| Monday, 18 October 2010 06:08 |
On Saturday the 4th of December New Zealand’s best downhill mountain bikers will compete shoulder to shoulder in a 250m vertical spiralling descent, to the bottom of the countries deepest operating open pit gold mine.  Get ready for the ride of your life, the ride is Red Bull Rock Drop. Martha mine in the centre of Waihi has seen more than 3 centuries of operation with hundreds of kilograms of gold removed from the open pit; creating a massive terraced hole gouged into the Earth's crust deeper than Lake Taupo. A fully operational open pit gold mine provides a tough and unforgiving rock base, add to this a selection of man made obstacles and Red Bull Rock Drop creates one of the most demanding downhill and free ride mountain bike events ever to be seen in New Zealand. The qualifying rounds will be run in a four-cross format with riders battling to the bottom of the mine. The top qualifiers will race side by side in two person semi finals. Finals will be an elimination format, deciding who will be crowned King of the mine and winner of Red Bull Rock Drop. Go to www.redbull.co.nz/rockdrop for more details. |
