U.S. Open - Online Registration Open!
U.S. Open of Mountain Biking Kicks off Online Registration - 9th Annual Event Returns with Over $50,000 in Cash and Prizes!
(Vernon, NJ) Terralogic Park Industries, the official event promoters of the U.S. Open of Mountain Biking, have announced that athlete and vendor registration is now officially open. Set to take place on May 26th through May 29th, elite mountain bike racers from across the globe will assemble at Diablo Freeride Park to battle for a share in over $50,000 in cash and prizes.
Founded in 2003, the U.S. Open of Mountain Biking was established to reinvigorate interest in American gravity racing at a point in time where neglectful sanctioning bodies and sponsors of yesteryear had stripped the U.S. gravity scene of its identity, its soul and necessary funding. Nine years later, the proven, trendsetting PRO/AM format allows up-and-coming athletes the unique opportunity to test their mettle against the world’s fastest gravity racers. While the professional categories typically take center stage, the U.S. Open has become the premier proving ground for amateur racers, with several past champions using the win to kick-start professional careers.

Here's mine: F*CK YEAH Can't wait for U.S. Open!!
i have a ? or two
1) is it really hard and will i die on it
2) if i go to race and saterday if go to pratic and i dont want to race do i have to race on sunday or can i just ride other trials
also wat class do i race in
and if that doesnt do jst scroll down the vids and itl be there... its george ryan.... probably the most known pro at diablo
also u will race in the am class probably and no u can also ride... im guessing u jst tell somebody there and theyll radio that ur not goin down for the race
but will u race the slalom? if u havnt ridden it its also on that diablo vid page....
if you dont think they are going to qualify and or come in top 5 or top 10, dont bother spending your $90 on the event. the Amateur class is always very stacked
sorry about that man
i can take you to dinner if you feel that strongly about it?
