Dialled In Downhill RD2: Gravity Mash Up

Round 2 of the Gravity Mash Up, taking place at Pitfichie, marks an exciting first for Scottish mountain biking. This innovative weekend event blends multiple race styles into one inclusive and thrilling competition designed for riders of all skill levels.
Saturday kicks off with a Blind Enduro challenge across four stages, where participants must rely solely on their instincts and adaptability to navigate the terrain without any prior practice runs. The fast-paced and unpredictable nature of this event tests bike handling skills in a unique way as competitors race through Pitfichie’s varied landscape.
As the day winds down, riders can unwind with an optional 4X racing session that offers side-by-side action on a track designed for fun and social interaction. Free beer flows freely during this relaxed evening, fostering camaraderie among racers from all backgrounds in preparation for Sunday's main event.
Sunday features a full Classic DH race along Pitfichie’s downhill course, allowing riders to push their speed limits after the cerebral challenges of Saturday’s Blind Enduro format. This high-speed run showcases technical prowess and raw skill as competitors navigate steep descents and tight corners at breakneck pace.
Overall standings are determined by combining points from both events—Blind Enduro and Classic DH—highlighting consistency and versatility across different disciplines throughout the weekend.
The event also introduces series prizes for riders who compete consistently over all three rounds. Specific prize details will be revealed soon, making participation in each round valuable for those aiming to secure top rewards.
For Round 2, podium spots are reserved for the top three finishers in each category at Pitfichie, with awards provided by respective sponsors. First through third place winners receive increasing value prizes and a custom stainless-steel medal from Obsidian Components. Attendance on race day is mandatory for prize collection.
Participants can choose between two main categories—Downhill (DH) or E-bike—at registration, automatically placing them in the appropriate age category based on their birth year.
Sponsors supporting each category will be announced closer to the event date, adding an extra layer of excitement and recognition for competitors.
