Sugarbush Downhill Returns

Sugarbush is back on bikes and hosting round 7 of the Gravity East Downhill Series on August 1 and 2. The huge, two-mountain ski resort in Warren Vermont regularly hosted major events during the first heyday of mountain biking, then gradually faded from the mountain bike scene. When Summit Ventures purchased the resort, mountain biking again became a priority and the resort has spent six years restoring and constructing trails and park features. Today, Sugarbush has a freeride park and over 18 miles of lift-assisted cross country and downhill trails. Last year, the culmination of that hard work saw Sugarbush host its first mountain bike race in nearly a decade as the Gravity East Series roared down the resort’s Lincoln Peak.

Auctioning Ultra-Rare Custom Pink Cranks to Raise Money for Dirt Series Scholarships

We’re too busy building and riding the most stealth bike parts on the planet to really know, or care what colour Paris Hilton is rocking this year. We don’t know if pink is the new black, or if black is the new black; we just build what looks sick. What we do know is that pink is the new “So Crazy Rare There are Only 8 Like It in the World” when it comes to Race Face cranks.
