The US vs THEM event is about to take place. Who is US and who is THEM?
Marc: “US” will be the first 8 riders picked out of a hat, “THEM” will be the 8 riders left in the hat. For future US v THEM it could be state Vs state, Country Vs Country or brand Vs brand the possibilities are endless.

With $ 10000,= dollars up for grabs for the winning team, is this turning into one of the biggest events in Oz?
Marc: Now that you put in those terms yeh it definitely would be.

What do riders have to do to get points for their team?
Marc: Cheat and steal! Nah, The format is mixed so riders will compete in timed runs, jams and a bunch of challenges which could include, team trains, footdown, quiz’s, obstacle battles etc. There may even be a chilli /wasabi eating challenge, hahaaar.

The moto is ... “A life less serious”

Have you heard about tactics by either one of the teams already?
Marc: Nope, I don’t think they will be able to work out anything as they won’t know who’s in each team until the games begin. Some challenges will be judged by the crowd so a good tactic would be to have fun.

Will there be a fight at the end of the day between the two teams?
Marc: I hope so! Maybe if we put the $$$ in the middle of the park and they can fight over it, that’s entertaining right?

Who are supporting the event?
Marc: Chupa Chups, Forgotten bikes, Sunday and Colony.

Can people come check out the event?
