Whistler Bike Park Phat Kidz - Pumptrack Challenge

The groms of Whistler traded in Saturday morning cartoons for hot laps at the Phat Kidz Pump Track Challenge at the newly constructed GMC Pump Track this past weekend. Each of the 38 racers, ranging in age from 3-15, were given 5 runs to throw down the best time possible while their friends and family cheered on from the sidelines.

The stoke level was high, as per usual with this group.

"Show me your game face."

Visualize. Rip. Repeat.

Eyes on the prize, making the DFX coaches proud.

Cheering on your fellow competitors, this is what riding is all about.

"Racing is fun!" - probably something Jackson would say.

The ol' high five/fist bump mix-up, don't worry kids we've all been there.
