Nathan Rennie (Santa Cruz/Syndicate) and Tracey Hannah (Edge Cycles) have each secured the top spot in their respective categories to be your new Australian DH Champions. With picture-perfect weather conditions and a record 450 entrants the racing was always going to be exciting, especially as the 'jersey controversy' of '05 had been circumvented by MTBA - ensuring that the winners in Thredbo were the best on the day.

Previously, qualifying and racing had been held in the same afternoon, however with a change to the format of the racing - bringing the championships in line with UCI races - seeding was held on Saturday after a morning practice session.

Australia's longest DH course proved to be too much for many riders with all the tech crews in the pits being kept very busy. Flat tyres were common, but considering the amount of rocks on the course it was surprising there weren't more.

Elite Men

Jared Rando (Giant/Fox) came out blazing on Saturday and set the pace for the day with an impressive time of 6:05.42. Bryn Atkinson (GT/Hyundai) and Joel Panozzo (WTB) filled the next two seeding positions while 2005 DH National Champion Michael Hannah (Cannondale) was taking it easy back in twelfth position.

As Sam Hill (Ironhorse) didn't make the trek across from Perth for the championship all eyes seemed to be following Jared Graves (Yeti) and Nathan Rennie who seemed to have been conserving their energy in their seeding run. Graves was looking to carry on his impressive form from last season after securing the Sea Otter DH omnium, NORBA DH championship and NORBA MTNX Championship. Unfortunately it wasn't to be.

With the track deteriorating as more and more riders went down the course, it was a considerably rougher course than when the seeding was held on Saturday.

Unfortunately for Rando he punctured his tyre on the first corner. "I was rolling down looking at everything and thinking how much faster I should have been going, but I've got the MTBA final at Mt Buller and then the Oceania's."

With a finishing time of 6:08.88, Graves was over one second slower than Rennie's winning time of 6:07.24. The third tier was taking up by Chris Kovarik (MS/Intense) while current Junior World DH Champion Amiel Cavalier took the step up to Elite to finish fourth with Bryn Atkinson right behind.

"I've done a bit of training, but not as much as I should have." said Kovarik after the race. "Coming into it, I wasn't as strong as I needed to be and I was just relying on my past experience."

Even though he scored second Jared Graves was very pleased with the result after a demoralising start to the weekend with a fourth in the MTNX. "I would have really liked to have won the MTNX, but second in the DH, I'm definitely pretty happy with that. If Jared [Rando] hadn't have flatted he definitely would have been on the podium."

"I was happy going up the chairlift seeing how rough the track was getting. The rougher the track - the better this Yeti 303 handles it."

Acknowledging that he didn't think he had a winning time after finishing his run, Rennie was disappointed for Rando but was excited at the prospect of wearing the green and gold bands around his sleeve. "I'm glad they got the rules sorted out and kept everyone happy. I'm proud to be Australian and I'll be proud to wear the bands overseas."

"I had started training a little bit but I kind of got caught up with Christmas and New Years a little bit but I'm looking forward to knuckling down and getting my training going. It is a good stepping stone to win a race I really didn't expect to win."

With six months of travelling to look forward to, Rennie is planning on staying in Australia as long as possible before heading over to California for Sea Otter. "Sea Otter is the next race on my calendar but I might do some smaller races here in Australia first, then I'm planning to do some proper down-hilling before the World Cups start."

U19 Men

The proving ground for our next generation of world-dominating gravity pilots lived up to its usual high standards. With times that were only fourteen seconds slower than the winning Elite time, the young kids were trying hard to prove to Australian DH coach, Scott Sharples, that they were worthy to be selected to represent Australia at the 2006 World Championships in Rotura, New Zealand.

With the fastest seeding time of 6:18.45 going to newly signed Kona junior Alex Swann, he looked set to take out the win. However, like the Elite riders, the times suffered at the hands of a rapidly deteriorating track.

In the end it was Ben Bell on the top step with fellow West Australian Joel Bain in second. The bronze position was filled by Queensland gun James Maltman.

Like Rando, Swann suffered technical difficulties which saw him finish back in twelfth position.
