Why We Rebuilt It

2026 was hit and miss. Riders signed up, got a code, and then heard nothing until the next time we needed something filmed. No rhythm, no way to move up, and a title that did not mean much because nobody had to earn it.

2027 is different in 3 ways. There is a brief on the 1st of every month so you never have to guess what to film. There are 3 tiers with published criteria to climb them. And every place runs a full 12 months and then ends, so the crew renews instead of drifting.

What We Ask Back

Crew
4 posts a month tagging RSD, and 2 RSD ride days a year.

That is it. No exclusivity clause, no minimum spend, no contract you need a lawyer for.

Who Can Apply

  • You ride. Any level, any discipline, any bike.
  • You live in Australia.
  • You have 1 public account with riding content on it from the last 90 days.
  • You are happy for us to use your photos and video.

No follower minimum. We look at whether you post and whether it is any good.

Under 18

You are welcome. There is a parent consent section in the application and it only needs doing once. Junior riders are never put under a posting quota and never go on a leaderboard. Just post when you ride.

When The Season Ends

Every place runs 12 months and then ends. At the end of the season you are renewed, moved up a tier, or thanked and inducted into the RSD Hall of Dirt, which is permanent and comes with a 20% code for life, your name staying on this site, and first look at every new drop.

Nobody gets dropped. The season just ends, and you can apply again.
