Diabloween 2009 - Pinkbike

On Halloween weekend, Diablo Freeride Park hosted its annual take on everyone's favorite fall holiday, a not-to-be missed event called Diabloween. Each year, the festival features tons of outrageous and creative costumes, thousands of dollars worth of give-aways and as much fun on two wheels as anyone can handle. Despite the threat of inclement weather, nearly 700 people attended the final weekend of the 2009 season, making Diabloween one of the most popular bike events on the East Coast.

Lots of pics and winner's names inside,
