So this past weekend I put together a small underground urban DH race right here in Boston on Mission Hill. I always thought itd be cool to hold a race here but itd be damn near impossible to get permission, so I figured why not just do it all fast n the furiouse style and race in the middle of the night!
We had 13 riders race, single timed runs. We had shuttle trucks, number plates, and a cash purse (take that norba).
Heres a video Justin put together, unfortunantly it was a bit tough to really capture the course. It wasnt too much to watch but was super fun!
