Kris Haderer of A Finished Product took some awesome photos of the downhill event. Kris’ photo site is very well organized by racing category and name - so visit A Finished Product and check out your race pics - you can order prints there as well! Here are a few photos from our group of racers …..
Amateur video of pro racers on the dh course at the 2007 Deer Valley National mountain bike race. This video doesn’t do the course justice at all. Some of the drops and jumps that look easy for the pros are really terrifying when you’re standing on top looking down!
The Deer Valley National mountain bike races were totally awesome! Park City is one of the most beautiful places on earth this time of year - everything is lush and green, wild flowers are blooming and temps in the low 80s are perfect for riding.
Don sprints across the finish at the Super D race. Eric Carter said about the Deer Valley National: “if all Super D races were as fun as this one everybody would be racing them!”
