What is Super D?
It is a hybrid between traditional XC and DH racing.  Overall the race is downhill but includes many trail types along the way.  The courses are suited to a wider range of bikes and riding styles with fewer high risk obstacles thank a DH course.  Riders will also find several climbs on the course that will test endurance and stamina.

The Purpose of the HPT Super D:
HPT of La Crosse would like to highlight the diversity of trails and terrain our trails encompass as well as exposing racers to new race formats and recruiting new racers to the sport.  A Super D brings the excitement of downhill racing with less danger and without the need for a specific bike to be competitive.  The format is also appealing to  racers who are intimidated by or uninterested in the longer race format of traditional XC racing.  Overall, a Super D puts to the test and values the various skills of all-around riders.
