Trail update for Praireview, Bragg Creek Trail update for Praireview, Bragg Creek
Prairieview Update for those who may be afraid to go to K-Country, thinking there will be snow on the trail...WRONG! I rode Prairieview last night, and not only is it snow free, it's almost mud free - there are only a handful of puddles on the Jewell Pass portion. I had not been on this trail for a while, and was surprised to see how wide the downhill has gotten. If you don't like to go over roots and bumps, stay home - don't go around them! This trail used to be classic single track, now it's almost double track throughout. Before you drive, you may want to check with K-Country (673-3985 or ), as there are currently several bear closures in the area, including most of the trails around Kananaskis village.

Josh Bender Hucks Josh Bender Hucks
Some of you have probably heard of Josh Bender. This guy has been hucking himself off of ridiculous heights, sometimes making it, sometimes not. At the NORBA races in Deer Valley this past July he sparked a huge contoversy when he hucked a 30 foot double retaining wall after the end of the downhill races.

We came, we saw, it kicked some ass. We came, we saw, it kicked some ass.

On Saturday September 9, 80 tough riders took on the Bow Cycle Bowness Nationals- race of pain in Bragg Creek, Alberta.

The conditions were perfect - running slightly cloudy 10 or so degrees, and NO RAIN!

Right off the bat, I will have to say that this was pretty much the best organized race I have ever seen ...

Nice Work! Nice Work!
Jason Christianson of Canmore qualified as the top canadian at the norba nationals in mammoth last weekend he crashed in the final run but qualifying top canadian is damn good for a bow valley boy, he also placed 19th in the fun race they had down the old kamikazee course, Stacy Kohut also of Canmore won the dual slalom in the four wheel category.

Dual Eliminator tonight! Dual Eliminator tonight!
Tonight out at COP (Canada Olympic Park) they are staging the weekly Dual Eliminator night. Come out and go head to head with some of the best riders this side of the Rockies. The fun starts at 7pm and runs till 9. Entry is 14 bucks.
The course is a good mixture of fast turns, table tops and a sizable double jump at the finish line. If you don't wanna race come out and see the event. Contact between the riders during the race, has been known to produce some spectacular crashes and carnage. As well some of the guys and girls are going big and showing some great style on the airs.

Here is a little video clip of the BB fest Here is a little video clip of the BB fest

This nice little drop in Calgary claimed 3 BB's in a very short time! A nice 10+ footer to a trany. The landing could be a little steeper. Check out myself, Danny L, Wade S, Mark D, and Scott T on a typical urban ride. (Some of us had to walk home Frown
BTW, that is the second one for Mark that week of this same drop!

Burning Hot provincial Championship race results! Burning Hot provincial Championship race results!
Race results from the September 2-4 Provincial mountain bike championships in Hinton just arrived. Here are the and the provided to us by Harvey Heinrichs. According to "Mental" (one of the downhill competitors) just under 40 riders braved the snow and rain in Hinton for the Downhill Provincial Championships. If not for the mud and snow, the course would have been very easy. Mental has won the Expert class (Master 30-39). His time was good enough for 5th overall including elite. Congratulations! Glad to be using flats Mental commented. There was no possibility to clip in, everything was completely covered in mud. from the cross country race submitted to us by Andrew Soon.
