Every year the Copper Ridge Riders Association puts together a "
Bootleg" downhill race the Sunday after The Iceman Cometh. This race is very laid back and is always just about a group of guys and gals who love DH and just want to have fun. The race works like this: Show up at the
Copper Ridge Freeride Trailhead, bring a bike part for the prize pot and we will radio down the race trail we choose and time with a stopwatch. The winner picks from the bike parts first and the last place picks last. The rest of the time is spent sessioning the trails!
Levi's course preview of this year's race trail, "F.M.R.". Sadly he doesn't scream as much as Claudio... but then again it is Michigan DH:

Mother nature was much nicer to us this year than she was last year...
It's all hike-a-bike here at Copper Ridge.
