Pikes Peak Downhill Longboard Race 2013

Pikes Peak 2013 Longboard Race
Pikes Peak 2013 Longboard Race

This Sunday is the Pikes Peak Downhill longboard race in Colorado. Just the idea of this course terrifies me! Pikes Peak is the world’s highest toll road at 14,115 feet. This particular course will begin just above 11,000 feet and will be 1.5 miles long. As you will see this course has steep drops, sweeping turns and a few hairpins thrown in. Most riders will hit speeds in the 60mph range and hopefully no one will be seriously injured. If you want to learn more about the event and see the schedule check out the website.
