Q: Is Camping allowed at Bootleg Canyon?

A: Yes, Boulder City allows camping starting the day before an event until the day after the event. It is dry camping, so please come on a Thursday and stay until Monday. There is no charge and please consider it covered in your event entry fee.

​

Q: Can I have a small campfire?

A: All campfires MUST be in a raised and contained portable fire pit you bring to the event.

​

​

Q: Do I need a license to race?

A: Yes, all racers require either an annual USA Cycling license or a 1-Day license.

As of October 21, USA Cycling’s new Sport:80 platform now offers a better, simpler experience. New users automatically receive a free first-year race license once they:

1. Log into Sport:80

2. Purchase a membership

3. Add a race license to their cart — the system removes the charge automatically

If you have previously held a USA Cycling license this free license will not be applied, the system looks at the email address and a few other pieces of data to determine if the rider is net-new.

Membership & License Pricing (Sport:80):

• Base Membership: $20 with auto-renewal or $40 without

• Adult Race License: $75 with auto-renewal or $80 without

• U23 Race License: $35 with auto-renewal or $40 without

• U19 Race License: Free (with paid membership)

New users can now access a free first-year race license, while existing members benefit from lower overall pricing through auto-renewal.

              Note. For Super D & Enduro: 1-Day licenses can be used in all categories.

​

Q: Do I need to be a Nevada, Arizona, California, or Utah State resident to compete or win in the SW Regional Champs?

A: No, all you need is a current/valid USA Cycling annual license to be officially crowned the State/Regional Champion.

​

Q: What if there are only a couple of others in my age bracket?

A: We will consolidate any age bracket with less than 3 competitors to the next closest age bracket that enhances competition.

​

Q How much is the cash purse?

A: As of 12-16,2024 there is no Pro Cash purse for the SW Regional Gravity Series.

​

Q: I am racing in pro and there is only one other is racing against me, can I still win the Pro Cash Purse?

A: If there is a cash purse, to pay the cash pay-out to the Pros, there must be 3 racers in that category. If not, they will still be able to race, but they would receive full credit to be used at a future race we host where there would be competition instead of the cash purse. You have to beat others to win the cash.
