The end is nigh. With the 2014 race season winding down here on the east coast, one of North America's premier Enduro and Super-D series will launch one final assault on the trails of the east coast's biggest bike parks: Killington, Vermont. On Saturday, September 6th, scores of riders will converge on the legendary resort located in the heart of the Green Mountains to give it one final go for the POC ESC Super-D Cup. The following day will see those same very riders tackle the 5-stage Enduro Cup finale as overall champions will be crowned and yet another amazing enduro season from Eastern States Cup will draw to a close.

On the men's side of things, Jason Scheiding has taken over the top spot for now, but the entirety of the top 10 remains wide open, especially with
Double Points being awarded throughout the weekend! Additionally, both races will serve as the USAC Regional Championship for Super-D and Enduro.

On top of that, every amateur winner from Sunday's Enduro plus overall class champions will receive custom WTB Saddles! .
Killington, Vermont has proven itself to be the East Coast's premier all-mountain destination, with almost 2,000 vertical feet of trails and thousands of acres to explore for riders of all levels; but the POC ESC Super-D and Enduro Cup finale promises to utilize some of the longest, fastest and rowdiest of them all! There will be several top-to-bottom runs between the Super-D and Enduro races and all of them will utilize that famous Vermont loam and some of the most creative line choices you'll find anywhere. This is most certainly a mountain you'll want to familiarize yourself with now if you haven't already, as there are bigger and better things on the horizon for Killington! So please join us as we bid farewell to what has been an outstanding season for our Super-D and Enduro series and fret not, we're working already working hard on making next year the best one yet!
