Every year when the Teva Mountain Games comes around I get super excited! Not because Vail is such a rad town, but I get excited to be apart of the event again. What makes this event different from the rest of the other MTB events is that there are so many different events happening from, Kayaking,rock climbing,slak lining and of course mountain biking.

This year Teva Mountain Games went really well for me! It started off with Slopestyle. The course wasn’t too big this year so I decide to ride my Kona Shonky. My first run didn’t go so well, I ended up messing up on a flipwhip which caused me not to get enough speed to hit the next jump, so after run one I was in last place. With a best run out of two runs format it put huge pressure on me to make sure my 2nd run was dialed. Dropping in for my 2nd run I wanted to do things different. My goal was to put a clean run top to bottom and frontflip the last jump that no one was doing! Everything worked out exactly how I wanted and I ended up in 2nd place for slopestyle. Read More→
