Mammoth Mountain and the Kamikaze Bike Games (KBG) are proud to announce that Pinkbike will be the official online media partner for the inaugural biking event taking place September 4-8, 2013. Pinkbike.com is the premiere online destination for mountain bikers, and their informative content and community-oriented presentation allows Mammoth to communicate with a highly unique niche sector of the market.
| I still think back to when legends like Tomac, Insane Wayne and Myles Rockwell were nailing Mammoth Mountain runs and clocking 60+ mph on hardtails with rigid forks as one of the original downhill races in MTB history. The history of the Kamikaze holds an allure few events can match in North America, and we are honored to be able to bring our brand of media coverage to the Kamikaze Bike Games! - Julian Coffey, Pinkbike |
Bill Cockroft, Senior Vice President at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, is also excited about the partnership,
| Pinkbike.com has amazing coverage of events that is second to none. This partnership will help give everyone access to the Kamikaze Bike Games. We are looking forward to a long lasting partnership. |
The Kamikaze Bike Games is a five-day multi-discipline bike event that includes mountain bike racing for all ability levels, top-ranked road rides, kids races, a manufacturers’ expo as well as music, food, and festivities, making it the big mountain bike bash of the year.

11B 4thID "Steadfast and Loyal"
It was all so different back then.
My first-ever run there (in the mid '90s) was on a Giant ATX hard-tail - in lycra and an egg shell.
Went over the bars at about 70km/h and had to race it the next morning...
I like today better
1.Tomac needs to come out of retirement just to do this race.
