The idea is to give anyone the chance to start racing downhill. It all started back in 2007 when down at Chicksands i was stood in the car park talking and this guy on a DH bike just crashed head on into a tree! I didn ’t even know there was a track there but this just showed peopled like riding down this short track. So a quick word with Steve Dowie (Chairman of Chicksands Bike Park ) and i said for a laught lets do a Mini DH? race down that track, i know its only short but should be some good fun for the locals. Now most of these people don ’t go to any DH races because there are far away or expensive to race, so lets make it cheap on to enter and i will see f we can get some prizes from anyone. Quick chat with Des at MMA who are the guys for 661 in the UK and the 661 Mini Downhill was born.
