With the 2011 Ranchstyle event less than a day away, the excitement in the high mountain desert is growing. Slowly the riders are showing up to the Grassroots Ranch, the site of the 2011 Ranchstyle Mountain Bike Festival. This year's Ranchstyle will have the always popular slopestyle contest, as well as the dual slalom race.
This year,
YOU the Pinkbike viewers will be judging our best trick contest that is happening this Friday night. Our crew of filmmakers will be capturing the contest, then posting the video here on Pinkbike. It will then be up to the viewers to choose the best trick! So be sure to keep your eye out for the video and cast your vote. The winner will be announced at Saturday night's podium awards.
