Race #3 of Plattekill Bike Park’s NYS Championship Downhill Series and Race #2 of Plattekill Bike Park’s NYS Championship Dual Slalom Series will take place Saturday July 25th and Sunday July 26th; 2009.The Downhill Race Track at the Park located in Roxbury, NY will start in the Classic Triple Chair side for this event.
The trail crew led by Delta House Racing worked overtime getting the downhill course ready to shred. The course features all of the great natural features that the Park offers, as well as a new section bulldozed this past week. Just up from the All new Dual Slalom Course, the DH track emerges from the woods into a steep off camber sweeping right hand turn back into the woods where you’ll be greeted by a series of bermed “S” turns, that leads to a new 20’ step down jump. The Cat 2/3 track will be fun and fast with berms and kickers located along the way, the faster you go the harder it will get.
Here’s a link to a helmet cam video of this course.
Racers if your looking for valuable USAC ranking points The Plattekill Bike Parks Series is registered as a State Championship Series and will carry those extra points. Pro and Cat1 will compete for cash/medals while Cat2 and Cat3 racers will compete for prizes/medals at this USAC Sanctioned Event.

The course was built from input received from the racers, it features double bermed turns and multiple jumps. The best part of the course was pro’s to our youngest racer, 7 year old Matt Vajtay.found the course it challenging going big or fast just rolling all the jumps.
