2009 Competition Info
First off....anyone interested in competing in China this year for the World Championships should really let me know asap. As this is the only round for the year I am sure it will fill up quickly. As always the only cost will be airfare (about $1800?). The organizers will pick up riders at the airport, transfer them to competition site and provide accomodation and meals for a nominal fee.

The Vancouver/Whistler International Biketrial Classic should be very well attended. It looks like Hiroshi will be coming out again and bringing his daughter Yuna who is a very good rider! We hope to get a few other Japanese riders (Kazuki????) as well as lots of interest from the English riders. If you do plan on coming let me know so I can put out a list of riders who will attend. I believe Jeff Lenosky will be coming as well....if you haven't seen the "Time Warp" episode with Jeff and Mike Steidley google it and watch it immediately!!!!!!
We are doing shows in Whistler on May 16,17 for the bike park opening. We will be in Mountain Square both Saturday and Sunday all day. Here is a clip of Jason and Steve from last year at Whistler...it is a Global TV interview.
