Riders from all over the world descended on Highland Mountain Bike Park today to compete in the 3rd Annual Claymore Challenge. Riders will battle it out for the coveted Claymore sword as well as points for a Gold level event in the FMBA World Tour. The Claymore is the 13th stop in the tour and looks to be one of the most favored by the riders.
As he was registering, first time Claymore competitor and heavy hitter Mike Montgomery said, ?This is the only true slopestyle course so far this year. Dave and the Highland crew have really outdone themselves. I can?t wait to compete.? Stay tuned to see if Mike throws his signature ?California Roll? down on the Dave Smutok designed course.
Other confirmed riders include: Darren Berrecloth, Paul Basagoitia, Cameron McCaul, Tyler McCaul, Brandon Semenuk, Aaron Chase, Adam Hauck, Ryan Howard, Greg Watts, Cameron Zink, Geoff Gullevich, Casey Groves, Eric Lawrenuk, Yannick Granieri.
The Claymore Challenge will be broadcast LIVE on Saturday July 17th at 12:45pm EST. Visit Highland Mountain to watch the madness unfold LIVE! Stay tuned to Highland Mountain for contest information or follow us on Twitter @highland_mtn.
