course that he describes as different than previous
editions, and one that resembles bmx courses. The 5000
meter course contains 8 turns and 10 straights. Racing
happens May 12-13.
from
ridemonkey Bigfoot Productions is pleased to announce
the inaugural dates of its newest event creation, The
Rocky Mountain G3 Gravity Series. The series kicks off
in Keystone, Colorado on the weekend of June 30. While
G3 tour stop #2 is still being negotiated and details
are pending, date #3 has been slated for the weekend of
October 6th in Angel Fire, NM and replaces the popular
“Final Descent” event.
What makes a “G3”? Simple. It’s a gravity stage
race with a big honking purse. Keystone and Angel Fire
will both feature 2 DH courses and a ripping Super-D.
Each rider posts a time on each course with the lowest
cumulative time determining the victor...to whom go the
spoils....

Red Bull Empire of Dirt Described as the world’s first BMX DIRT SLOPESTYLE
contest, UK rider Kye Forte, has created a new
discipline that combines influences from each of the BMX
styles and will challenge the best.
The giant course is expected to take
over a month to build, and will require thousands of
tons of dirt. The course will feature a dirt superpipe,
huge double jumps, and tech street-type obstacles,
including rails, boxes and wall rides.
"Klunkerz" is a dusty tour of the knobby tire
lore and Savage did his homework. The history of
mountain biking has never been well understood outside
the circle of people who were there when it
happened...."
Rick Polito
Marin Independent Journal
"... What promises to make Klunkerz a very
special film is the fact that Billy was able to assemble
a cast that's chock full of legendary Marin pioneers:
Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Alan Bonds, Charlie Kelly, Tom
Ritchey, Russ Mahon, Bob Burrows, Wende Cragg... It
will be very interesting to hear what these folks have
to say..."
