Bearclaw Invitational coming August 5th - 6th

It has been three years since I have held the Bearclaw Invitational slopestyle on Mt Washington. Myself and the staff at Mt Washington are fired up to get it going once again - it's coming August 5th - 6th. The course will be built by myself and a few island boys, and will definitely be one of the most challenging courses on the FMB world tour. Full face helmets are mandatory and since it's a gold level event, expect to see all the world's top athletes battling it out for the points and the $20,000 denero prize purse.

The invited athletes will be practicing on Thursday and Friday. Qualifying will be Friday night from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. On Saturday the top 18 finalists from Friday will ride finals at 1:00 pm with a best one of two run format. The high air contest is open to anyone, for info on the event check out http://bearclawinvitational.com/

 The high jump is what really gets me, tricks are cool and all, but damn that guy got up there, next they should have a longest drop, with some sort of adjustable structure.
