Ok so back home in the UK there are massive events twice a week and awesome trails everywhere in all directions and more pro's racing than at a world cup but here in sleepy Tasmania it's a little different. We have [imgRichie Porte on a roadie and occasionally on a MTB for fun, we have some multi day events and a few years back the Oceania Champs were here but it clashed with the Sea Otter so it was mostly empty. We don't even hold a national round at anything bike related. We are smaller than Scotland with a 10th of the Population, this weekend in Derby Tasmania(population 208 in 2011 - smaller than it's postcode) EWS comes to town, the scale of what is means is impressive. We have rolling news coverage from the local paperA press released article on Sam HillAnd a local interest story with weddings and racingJarred Graves is busy obliterating KOM's all over the shop and the party is getting started. [imgWe have new trails by [urlSmith[/url], on Flickr [urldone, time to take the enduro yellow nomad racing :) #Ewstasmania[/url] by [urlSmith[/url], on Flickr For an alternative view of an amazing bit of Australia have a look at #Ewstasmania on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram to see what people are getting up to.https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=ewstasmania Current biggest fears? Transition times Getting run over by Sam Hill at warp speed Lets hope the sun shines and the snakes are sleeping

Very true. I'm glued to pinkbike and Instagram on EWS weekend. Lots of alternative coverage.
Again, well done and thanks for this thread. I've really enjoyed it and would love to do something like this one day.
