The Cannonball MTB Festival is set to heat Thredbo up this summer…

Posted on 20 Oct, 2017

Our biggest event of the year is just around the corner and boy are we excited to kick off the biggest and best Cannonball MTB Festival yet. This being the 5th year of the event, we’re taking it to the next level with more action, live entertainment and a massive $70k prize purse!

If your a mountain biking speed demon, fan of the sport or simply get excited at the sight of any action, then make sure you hit up Thredbo across the 6-10 December for what is sure to be a guaranteed good time.

There are five mega events that will attract different level of riders from not only the nation but from around the world, so don’t be surprised if you see your favourite pro rider in the lift line…#fanoutime. The line-up of show stopping events includes the RockShox Pump Track Challenge on Thredbo’s Village Green, the SRAM Whip Wars Big Air held on a purpose built kicker (must not miss this one), the Maxxis All Mountain Assault, the leg burning Canyon Flow Motion Cup and the rough wearelusty Australian Open Downhill. 

Registration is now open for the event, if you feel like giving it a crack this summer, click here to register now.

Below is a highlight of all the action that went down at last years event…looking at these gets us super pumped for another 5 days of non-stop biking, whipping, partying and good times.
