OFF THE STREETS SERIES 1.
THREE RACES.
THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
THREE BIKE CATEGORIES.
ALL FOR THE OVERALL PRIZE.
Off the Streets returns with a series of three races with three very different tracks.
There are three bike categories to enter: Men’s and Women’s Fixed Gear Championship, Any Bike Championship and Wheelie Championship.

Riders will score points based on their finishing position. The rider with the most points in each category will win prizes at each round as well as the overall series competition.
