Downhill
Downhill Skateboarding returns to Vail Colorado for the US Skateboard Racing Championships. This 1.3 mile drafting type course is perfect for racers of all ages and experience levels, leathers will NOT be required, full pads, helmets and gloves are.
Use the button below to Pay for ALL FOUR EVENTS. Your one time payment of $125 allows you to enter all races.You DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR EACH EVENT SEPARATELY
This course is located on the bike path/frontage road that crosses Vail Pass at about 9000' elevation. This will be an intermediate course by downhill standards, but it will be technical and will provide plenty of challenge for experienced downhillers, while being completely doable for the occaisional downhiller. The course can be "airbraked" from top to bottom, with copious runout.
Your entry fee for the US Championships includes this race, so don't hesitate to come try it. You have nothing to lose but skin.
In order to be considered for the OVERALL racer award at the US Championships, totalling at least $1000.00, you must compete in this event. Racers not wanting to compete in the downhill are encouraged to come out and watch and support your downhill brethren.
Schedule for Race Day:
On Friday the 20th Check in at 8:00. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARE AT THE CHECK IN SPOT 8:00 OR YOU WILL MISS THE SHUTTLE TO THE TOP OF HILL. IT IS A THREE MILE WALK IF YOU MISS THE SHUTTLE.

We will qualify the fastest 16 racers into the 'A'
group and the second fastest 16 into the 'B' group.
We'll be running in 4 man heats for both groups, first 2 finishers move on to the next round, 3rd and 4th go to a lower brackett and race again to determine 9th - 16th place in both A and B groups. Qualifying times may be used to determine ties.
GETTING THERE
From Denver or Breckenridge, take I-70 West toward Vail. Exit number 180, Vail. Turn left, under the freeway, and turn left again on Bighorn Rd., you will be going East on Bighorn, parallel to the interstate. Eventually Big Horn will turn to the left and go under the Interstate. Big Horn will end at a gate near Gore Creek Campground. This is where you will park your car and pick up the shuttle to the top of the hill. Be there by 8:00 AM or prepare to hike.
