Snow-Cross Dual Slalom!

Take 4 mountain bikers, put them in start gates at the top of a mountain and send them off at the same time trying to get to the bottom first while flying over jumps, banking berms, and knocking each other over....oh yea, and it's on snow. Yep, this sounds like a good idea. Count me in!

The event is being held up at Blue Mountain in PA this Saturday, and I'm heading up to give this a whirl and hope I don't kill myself. The race entry is only $20, but that also includes an all day lift ticket to go snowboarding after your eliminated from the racing [I'll probably get eliminated early, so if nothing else I get a nicely discounted lift ticket for being a crazy person attempting to ride a bike down the snowy mountain] - Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! Here's a quick video of the past years events/preview of what this years should look like.

Should be a fun time! I'll bring my camera along and hope to get some good pictures, and maybe find someone to take some shots of me crossing the finish line totally wiping out. Stay tuned!
