The Kamikaze Bike Games served as the seventh and final stop for the Pro GRT Series, and it was KHS Factory Racing's Bruce Klein, the points leader coming into Mammoth, sealing the deal with authority for the Pro Men. As the fastest qualifier from Friday's seeding runs, the 20-year-old Altadena, California, resident was last down the hill, and he raised a collective gasp from the crowd by scorching down the steep and super loose Elevator Shaft and across the line with a time of 3:23.0. This topped the defending series champion, Shane Leslie, by 1.9 seconds. Klein's teammate Logan Binggeli finished third, reflecting the top three in the final series standings. Warren Kniss and Charles Frydendal would round out the men's podium.
Trevor Boldi notched a big win in the Junior Expert division. The YT Industries rider from Reno, Nevada, stopped the clock with a 3:31.5, just three tenths of a second ahead of up-and-comer Cole Suetos (Incycle). Fast qualifier Steven Walton (Commencal) had a couple of costly moments in his run to end up with third place with a 3:33.2.
None of the top three in the Pro Women's class made the trip to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but they maintained their series standings with Angelina Palermo capturing the title ahead of Caroline Washam and Ella Skalwold. At Mammoth, Amy Morrison (Marin) did the deed with a 4:17.5, topping Essence Barton and Tasha Thomas. CJ Selig would join them on the podium.
