The weekend of July 5th-6th, 2008 marked the 10th Annual and Final installment for the World renowned Mount 7 Psychosis in Golden, British Columbia. Psychosis, which has been dubbed “the world's most demented downhill race” spans a total of 4000 vertical feet from the top edge of Dead Dog to the bottom of the Snake Run. Over the past 10 years the race has continued to grow and be graced with the presence of many notable Pro Racers including Ironhorse's own 2007 UCI World Cup Champion Sam Hill, Tyler Morland, Santa Cruz' Nathan Rennie, Chris Kovarik of Intense Cycles and Coves Bikes' Stevie Smith.
