The 2nd Annual Gummy Bear DH Race drops Sunday, August 8 at Sun Peaks. Gummy Bear has enough roots, rocks, and corners to make it fun for the advanced riders, and a mellow enough grade that the amateur riders will enjoy the ride. For this year we will be extending the race course down to the base of the Elevation Quad Chairlift. Racers will get one timed run on the course.

The first place rider in the Women's Open and Men's Open categories will each take home cash plus prizes. Prizes will also be awarded to the the second and third place finishers in each category. Over $2000 in prizes to be won from DaKine and Maxxis plus all racers will be entered in the draw for a Rocky Mountain Flow.

Rocky Mountain Bikes team riders Wade Simmons and Geoff Gulevich will be in attendance to stoke the scene, and Brett Tippie will be killing it on the mic.

Thanks to Rockstar Energy Drink and Pepsi there will tons of cold beverages for all racers.

For the Gummy Bear DH, first place in Master's Men, Men's Open, Men's U17, and Women's Open will be walking away with a set of Maxxis DH Minions. Tons of prizes from DaKine and Rockstar Energy Drink. All entrants will be entered in the draw for a Rocky Mountain Flow!

bummer that this is taking place the same weekend as the first weekend of Crankworx.

yeah someone on the planning commitee should be getting a firm finger.

I would've went for sure, but why in the world would anyone plan an event during Cworx.

facepalm.

Our first choice wasn't this weekend but due to the pro riders availability, BC Cup race schedule, and the Crankworx slopestyle this is the best weekend. Besides is the rest of the bike industry supposed to just come to a halt during Crankworx?

If they want a better turn out to there event. (I am not a big CW fan but it seems like a no brainer)

Thank you.

for what?

Will you be supporting the SunPeaks event?

There is nothing going on this weekend, also nothing last weekend. Its too bad cuz I woulda liked to hit the race at SP but there is no way Im gonna miss dual slalom and the Garbo DH….

What Sideshow said. There's some serious scheduling conflicts going on in our household right now with bike dates. If you are in the industry, or racing, or working Cworx, then Cworx is not one we can miss.

Yeah.
