What’s a Hopper?
We’ve always counted on riders to describe a Hopper. But here’s what we’ve come up with: “Grasshoppers are eclectic mixed-terrain (yes there’s lots of “gravel” but in NorCal that doesn’t really sum up the terrain) adventure rides and races created to push riders to the limit without pushing them over”. And to take ya’ll to really cool places and shred on two wheels!
Ride or Race?
Yes! It’s up to you. We have a podium for top 3 in all categories, but if you’re in for the adventure and exploration, we say “ride on”.
How do I compete for the Series overall?
The Series Overall Podium is calculated using a point system. Placing in each series event awards you points in the following manner:
- 1st place = 60 points
- 2nd place = 55 points
- 3rd place = 51 points
- 4th place = 48 points
- 5th place = 46 points
- Each place after 5th earns one less point than the place above it (i.e., 6th place = 45 pts, 7th place = 44 pts, and so on).
Overall Points Leaders will be calculated by adding up place points in each event completed. Only your top 4 finishes will count towards your Overall Points. If you complete all 5 events in the series, your lowest result will be dropped.
Overall points are only awarded to those who complete the long course options at Huffmaster, Ukiah-Mendo Epic, Lake Sonoma MTB, or King Ridge. For each event that has a long course option, riders competing for the overall series podium MUST ride the long course.
In order to be eligible for the Series Overall Podium, (aka “Hopper Super Hero King, Queen and Rider of the Universe”), riders must contest King Ridge, the series finale, on May 10.
Overall winners for all categories will win a free Series Pass entry into next year’s Grasshopper Adventure Series.
Can I transfer my entry to another rider?
No. Riders who purchase the discounted Series Pass may not sell or transfer their entries to individual Hoppers. Individual entries may be transferred to another rider via Movemint. Fee is $10.
