I rode the sprints in the spring before they had the huckers class but the haulers and the cruisers did the same tracks. I was in the cruisers and there was a real mix of skills in that class alone.

My understanding (please correct me anyone, iif Im wrong) is the classes are:
Huckers = For big jump riders (serious-ish)
Haulers = For cross country speedsters (serious-ish)
Crusiers = For everyone else (chilled out)

Its a fun day and good way to meet other riders too.

but they have a new class...the free rider...go onto www.bikeparks.co.nz and look at the sprints section that will explain

mob: Thats the huckers class. At least it was last time.

oh yep my mistake

mob: Only difference is huckers isn't timed this time.
