We are back for 2021 with the Strait Acres Slalom Invitational, this time taking place at Summit Bike Park! Watch the action go down and see who won the 2021 Champion Belts and the $20,000 in prize money!
Such an awesome event from the track to the winner's trophies. Cinematography and editing were some of the best I have seen in a while. Super high quality that really captured the stoke.
"There was lightning...I was listening to Metallica, I hit the scrub berm like WABAT...getting pitted, so pitted." Or something like that. Seriously though, this looked like so much fun. The riders all looked stoked even though they were competing.
But can we get more DS races going? For amateurs? The fun that these look to be is unreal and I'm sure there are many more, like me, who aren't pro but want to do these.
...and have them near me in the lower mainland of BC
In California, Ams can race this course again next month at the Fox US Open then the Sea Otter DS 2 weeks later. I can't think of much more than that though....
He's always been kind of underground. He's becoming harder to miss, though, and people need to know he puts out a ton of content whether he's digging jump lines, appreciating animals (horny toads, snakes and Stingyy), road trips to Slab City, riding abandoned water slides.....good to see him getting some recognition. He got an invite to Proving Grounds in Sept.....
Registration just opened for the Fox US Open on this course 8 minutes ago. DS is $45. Go sign up then head over to YouTube and search for How To Scrub a Jump.
"....Somethin hoppen to em, man"
The video was worth the wait!
