Ski Biking



Downhill Snowbike Races - The Downhill Mountain Bike Race will take place on Saturday February 2nd at 11:00 a.m. at Sleepy Hollow Sports Park ran by Greg Rasmussen of Rasmussen Bike Shop. Dual Slalom snow bike racing is a great head to head competition down a man made course usually with gated turns (much like ski racing). The course is man made with obstacles such as berms, jumps and bumps. The courses are short, with a single run lasting around 30 seconds. Two racers compete down nearly identical/parallel courses at the same time.
The runs are timed and the same racers then switch courses and make another run. The combined race times are then compared and the slower racer is eliminated. The faster rider then moves up into the next round to race a winner from another set of race runs. The races and eliminations continue until the final two racers are left. Their race is the final and it determines 1st and 2nd places. The last racers that the finalists had beat then run a set of races to determine 3rd and 4th places.
