A real shame the series has been lost. It certainly wasn't loosing popularity but maybe British Cycling's lack of support contributed to this.

I don't the lack of support from BC helped but other series are selling out still. Looks like a lot is down to personal cicumatances from what he's said.

poah

lack of BC is irrelavent, the price, the insurance and the attitude of the organiser caused its down fall

But they sold out every round. Lack of entries weren't the problem.
From what I have been told by series regulars the insurance and helmet rules just got rid of the less serious riders just having a go and made it easier for more serious racers to get in every round.

poah

numbers were down and they had a cancel a round because of lack of interest.

That race clashed with about three other races the same weekend. Not surprising numbers were down.

and people choose to do those other races instead rather than the "national" lol series

One of the races was the DH national champs. A lot of enduro racers also race DH.
