The 2nd Mottolino Freeride Contest hits the Swatch Bikepark, Livigno on 27 September, and features three disciplines: Easy Downhill, a Jump Session and a Best Trick award. Something for everyone, then.
Organisers say everyone is welcome to join the competition, and are pitching it as an end of year celebration. First run last year, the Mottolino Fun Mountain is a chance to experience the bike park trails - including the famous DH World Championships trail from 2005. The whole competition is dedicated to the memory of Andreas Cusini, a young guy from Livigno that loved the bike park and had been riding it every week.
The 2nd Mottolino Freeride Contest is open to all ages and abilities, with the emphasis on fun. Categories include women, children (up to 14) and Elite. Riders can choose to compete in each of the three disciplines and there's some top prizes up for grabs including 2010 season tickets to the bike park and bike clobber and parts.
The Easy Downhill is held on a special part of the Chemical Water trail, which is quite easy to ride. In the Jump Session, riders hit the middle section of the Easy Line trail, which has jumps with tables only, so again, everybody can take the challenge. The Best Trick competition promises a lot of airtime. The Swatch Shoot My Ride air cushion waits for your craziest tricks to be shown without any risk.
