After a few rainy weeks the racers were treated to perfect weather for the E*Thirteen East Coast Showdown. Three gravity races in two days, Enduro, Super D and DH.
Ernie Reale and Erika Cohen took home the POC Speed Trap Award in the DH race. Ernie won his first DH race at Plattekill Bike Park in the Cat1 40+ Class after 22 years of trying.
Jason Scheiding placed fifth in the DH and raced to three podiums in the Pro Class. Enduro, Super D and DH. That's some great overall racing.
Seb Frost owner of rootsandrain.com came over from England to race some ESC races this summer, Looks like he's enjoying some air time at one of the many jumps and drops on the Eastern States Cup DH track.
Allie Zimmer won the womens over all and captured three pro victories on the weekend, boasting a perfect three for three.
That wraps up another great weekend of POC Eastern States Cup by Intense Cycles racing. Please visit the ESC website to find more info on all the races and the second Enduro at Attitash , NH this weekend.

As much as I love seeing Platty on Pinkbike, what's with the lack of coverage of the Super-D, Enduro, and Overall? The text makes no mention of the enduro or Super-D results; in the video there's no footage of the Enduro and minimal footage of the Super-D.
The weekend was pretty epic; it really was a great showdown with 3 types of races happening in two days. It would be awesome to show the PB community just how awesome it was.
me and alex shaw at the super D, and did some playing around on the DH course. Who can sing better than us
