I have only personally been able to attend 2 of these events, but they were RAD. I am stoked that we get to have an event of this kind right here on our own Mt Washington. Be sure to be there…it will be a good time for sure.

“The Bearclaw Invitational will be the most progressive slopestyle event of the year, and yes, you can count on the course being topnotch, since I’m the one building it. The course itself will have all the big obstacles the boys are used to and then some surprises thrown in as well, all built around a 4″ to 6″ travel bike. It will have a very authentic West Coast feel, since it’s being built in the forest at Mount Washington. What’s really rad is that this Bearclaw Invitational course will be permanent, so no more building and then tearing it down each fall.” » Read more: Bearclaw Invitational 2012

Bearclaw Invitational 2011 results/photos and more on Pinkbike!

If the pictures on Pinkbike are anything to go by, I missed a stellar event this year (ugh). Check out Pinkbike for all of the details, and as mentioned some stellar shots of the comp and the riders going off! Big props to Mount Washington for hosting such an amazing world-class event again. I am very glad that this has become one of if not “the” event on the island for top level pro riders!
