We had 20 +/ - riders take to the hill for this first ever event. The course.surface proved challenging with it’s cracks and washboard patches. The start was grab a spot, double file on an arm drop. The field was mostly made up of DIY with production parts boards represented by Ollin, Enertion, Hoyt. (If I missed any prodo boards please add In the comments).
Jason Lucier(DIY) took off like a rocket and had held the lead. His only Challenger was Justin Morgan(DIY) who ran him down. Justin was making an outside pass for the lead with two turns left in the race, lost control of the rough racing surface and went off into the ravine, board and all.

You guys seem to have a blast each time you race. The road quality is crap on the pictures but it adds a fun component to the race, doesn’t it ?

Can’t wait for this summer event in French with CarveUK. Pretty sure it will be more AT than street but there will be a lot of people, boards, race, fun.
