But as said, not only the dirt jump maniacs will be served in Leogang during this weekend. The racers competing in the last tour stop of the iXS European Downhill Cup 2008 will face a course with a length of 2.3 kilometers and a vertical drop of 480 meters. Bikepark Leogang’s downhill track called “Speedster” is known as a technically very challenging one. But not only pro riders are meant to take part. Also amateurs are welcome to register on: http://www.ixsdownhillcup.com/.

The iXS European Downhill Cup seeding runs are scheduled for Saturday 20th from 02:00 pm on, the finals for Sunday 21st from 12:30 pm.

Don’t miss this unique contest set-up! Diversified and hardcore mountain bike action is guaranteed!

 this is crazy, why isn't Cam on there, he's way better than most of those other Aptos guys. I'd say that Greg Watts has more big tricks, but Cam definitely has a bigger bag o' tricks than his bro, or Ryan Howard.
