Bike Magazine Monster Park Slopestyle Invitational
The unique course, designed by world famous dirt-jump and freeride athlete John Cowan, integrates all of the gravity elements—including dirt jump, street, big mountain and technical stunts—and will have a few surprise features that have never been seen in bike competition before. (Check out photos of the course under photos)
Not only will top athletes be present, one of the most prestigious film companies in the bike world, Freeride Entertainment, will be on hand filming for their next video, New World Disorder V. Disorder IV won Video of the Year at 2004’s first annual Bike Magazine Reader Poll & Video Awards.
Marquette, Michigan, was named one of “America’s Five Best Mountain Biking Towns” by Bike in 2001. With its vast terrain and rugged beauty, Marquette is the ideal home of the first ever Monster Park. The course will be built on Marquette Mountain, which recognizing the growth of the sport, now offers lift service for riders through October.
