This past weekend was the BC Cup finals at Hemlock Valley. The Course was hands down the best BC Cup of the year. Out of the gate riders had to toss in a couple of pedal strokes and pretty much didn’t have to pedal again till the finish line. The course didn’t feature to many technical sections but made up for it by featuring back to back steep blown out berm’d loose corners or off camber beach corners in the top and middle section. The bottom section of the course had riders ripping up a fast open ski slope section that led into a series of jumps and berms before crossing the Finish Line.

Camp Of Champions Airbag

On top of the race, Camp of Champions came out and had there air bag on hand for riders to throw down some tricks into the air bag. As well as the money to the fastest times of the day there was money awarded for the longest distance travelled on the last jump by a racer in there race run along with money for the fastest speed trap.
