Athletes will compete in teams of four and hit the course in a jam format. The riders will be scored individually, and the team whose combined score of the four members is the highest will win the cash prize. There will also be a Zoo York best trick prize, where locals and the pros will go head to head on the obstacles to see who can land the biggest banger. In partnership with Zoo York and Animal Bikes, there will be over $10,000 in prize money handed out. This is the one casino where you’re guaranteed to walk away with more in your pockets than you started, as long as you show up and gamble. Invited Teams*:
Team Animal: Nigel Sylvester, Mike Brennan, Tom White, Jared Washington Team Zoo York: Edwin De La Rosa, Vinnie Sammon, Ruel “Wormz” Smith, Tyrone Williams
Team Electronical: Aaron Ross, Jimmy Levan, Chase Hawk, Jim Cielinski
Team Knuckle Sandwich: Corey Martinez, Seth Kimbrough, Danny Hickerson, Karl Poynter
Team UK: Bas Keep, Robin Felon, Dan Lacey, Bruce Crisman
Team Pirates: Van Homan, Chase Dehart, Dakota Roche, Mike Aitken
Additional riders include: Brian Wizmerski, Sean Burns, Garrett Byrnes, Darryl Tocco, Ian Schwartz, Brad Simms, plus local riders.
The event will begin at noon on Sunday, November 4th and is free to the public.
