www.tevamountaingames.com Freeriders challenge the laws of gravity at the Teva Mountain Games on a big-air course featuring earthworks of gap jumps, berms and spines. Today’s best riders have transformed this discipline of mountain biking into a sport of best tricks judged for style and difficulty. Flatspins, can-cans, flips and Supermans wow the twilight crowd and the High Jump bonus round gives all the riders one more chance to walk away with a little more cash by one-upping the competition in height and style points. The slopestyle comp makes for some of the toughest battles in the Games. Check out these world-class riders as they “step it up” on the jumps at Golden Peak.
