Video: Freeride MTB Spring Training
Highland Mountain Bike Park once again hosted Spring Training for the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour slopestyle season. Athletes from across the nation were invited for a week of training at Highland, as riders took advantage of the HTC and Ayr Bag to dial in new tricks and prepare for the upcoming FMB Season. The week's event was capped off with a Best Trick contest on Saturday, as riders opened their bag of tricks for spectators and threw down on Highland's signature slopestyle feature Freebird. Nicholi Rogatkin almost stole the win with a VERY close Cash Roll, but Mike Kent took home the top honors and the purse with a stomped 360 Backflip.
