Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what’s going on for the St. Francis Sports Medicine Paris Mountain DH race. Its only 16 days away!!!
Friday the 16th:
Riders can practice during the normal Park hours. There may be a shuttle after 3pm, but all riders are asked to shuttle themselves that day.
Pre-Race Party at Barley’s Tap Room downtown Greenville will start at 6pm. Anyone racing and entered at that time will get an arm band for Beer (Must be 21 years or older) and a raffle ticket for that nights drawings. Red Bull will be hosting a Premier of the NWD 10 Dust to Bones video around 6:30 at the party. People attending the event that are not racing and want to drink from our Beer Sponsors Kegs are asked to make a $5 donation. They will also get a ticket to that nights Raffle drawings. All proceeds to this Raffle go to UpstateSORBA to help with trail building at Paris Mt State Park. This year’s grand prize will be a Mountain Board from Ground Industries.
