SRC Southridge Winter Series # 3

Rock drops, boulder gardens and birms snaking down the side of the mountain are just some of the things riders had to deal with and navigate through up in Southridge Park (Fontana, Ca) for the SRC Southridge Winter Series # 3. The event is a super grassroots event that attracts tons of riders of all different ages and skill levels.

The event lasts 2 days with various types of racing happening. Saturdays consist of a XC Race a Super D race and a 4-cross race. Sunday is the Downhill Race. The race is broken up into several different age groups and within those they have riders competing in different classes. They have a beginner, amateur and pro division. It is also seperated into men’s and women’s divisions.

Trucks full of bike equipment and riders filled the parking lot and vendor booths were set up offering anything from handlebars to bike jerseys to pictures. The hustle and bustle of the race, I was in some type of new world. A mountain bike world of racers and I did not know what to expect.

I hiked the race course to check it out. Practice was going on and riders were shredding the course to pieces. I did not know how much abuse and how much terrain a mtn bike could navigate through but I hiked past boulder garden after boulder garden. Riders hucked there bikes into the air boosting themselves over boulders and rock quarry’s. There was a rock drop and several different types of birmed corners some snaking down the mountain. I was impressed. The course seemed pretty gnarly.

The race was freaking awesome and it made me want to get a mtn bike really really badly. Not that I didn’t already want one. Anyways I will definitely be at future races. Until next time adrenaline junkies. – Leecifer

So Cal Represent Ride 2011

The So Cal Represent Ride was an absolute blast. The Dethbox came down from San Francisco full of shredders and freebords. We met at Talega August 20th for a rad day of shredding.

The turnout was pretty good. There were many So Cal Freeborders who were new to the scene and the whole Edge Boardshop team came out as well as a number of other downhill skaters.

We all had a great time with some pretty epic crashes. Bently Anderson tried to predrift a turn on a downhill skateboard several times and gave up after he was tired of crashing. It was funny to watch the downhill skateboarders trying to freebord for their first times. Andrew Schumaker, Joe Marshall, Danny Connor, Mason McGhee and whoever else tried it. Everyone gave up after many failed attempts.

All in all it was a great day with great people. Everyone was stoked, shredding, lurking and having fun. Thanks to everyone who came out. -Leecifer
