*Reposted from Santa Cruz Bicycles website* - The guy who owns this company, Rob Roskopp, went and took one of our entries into the Downieville Classic All-Mountain race this year. It’s his company, and he gets to enjoy the perks of that kind of thing. But it still got some of our backs up. Since the guy has only ever shown up in that town once in the past decade, some of the more loyal employees who spend a lot of time riding and working on trails there felt a little miffed about their available race entries being snapped up by the boss.
So, as retribution, we’re throwing him under the bus and having a contest.
Up for grabs is one free entry into the Downieville Classic All-Mountain event, graciously donated by the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship. This is a $185 race entry for a race that is capped at 200 riders, and which sold out in about 3 minutes flat this year. There are at about a hundred people on the waiting list for the race. This free entry will automatically get the winner into the event, in the category of his or her choice.
Also on tap is the opportunity to race the event on one of our brand new carbon fiber Blur LTs. Not just any brand new Blur LTc though, oh no. This one will be set up IDENTICALLY to the super-trick rig our boss-man will be riding. AND, if the winning contest entrant BEATS the overall time that Roskopp posts up, he or she gets to keep the bike.
There are a few catches to bear in mind: visit www.santacruzbicycles.com

The Downieville Classic is the primary fundraiser for the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS). For example, $15 from every race entry goes directly to SBTS, as do all proceeds from beer donations and prize drawings. In total SBTS brought in $29,000 from the 2008 event. These funds allow SBTS to:
- operate several volunteer stewardship programs throughout Sierra and Plumas Counties.
- create employment by hiring a local Trail Crew to maintain Forest Service trails.
- offer a college scholarship and work experience program for area youth.
- maintain over 100 miles of area singletrack, including the construction of North Yuba Trail and Mills Peak Trail.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
