Rockstar Bike Rodeo: Dream It, Drop ItThe
Rockstar Bike Rodeo contest ended with a sweet opening session. Pat Podolski, who designed the feature, was the first to hit it and was stoked with the work from the Trail Crew and builders.
Thanks to everyone that was out for the event and a big thank you to Rockstar Energy Drink for making this possible.
There is still plenty of time to hit the new feature this summer. Drop into Crazy Train and when you get near the bottom you have the option to ride last year’s Rockstar feature ‘The Mousetrap’ before you take on the new feature that Pat has settled on calling ‘
Snakebite’.
Check out this 'Making Of' video by Owen from our Trail Crew for a behind the scenes look at what it takes to make a feature like 'Snakebite'.
