JUNE 17-18, 2023 MAXXIS ESC OAKLEY SHOWDOWN at Jiminy Peak, MA
MAXXIS ESC Stan’s Enduro Series
MAXXIS ESC Intense Downhill Series
Jiminy Peak Bike Park is kicking off their summer season with the Oakley Showdown, featuring mountain bike downhill and enduro races held over a single action-packed weekend.
Jiminy Peak boasts a bike park with a greater concentration of technical terrain. Racers can expect an exhilarating experience on trails that are hand-built, without the presence of machine-built flow or jump trails. Every run at Jiminy Peak features a narrow corridor and follows the steepest route down the mountain, adding an extra element of challenge and excitement. For those seeking a weekend filled with thrilling two-wheeled racing, Jiminy Peak offers exceptional terrain.
During the event, the park will be exclusively open to registered participants of the Maxxis Eastern States Cup races from Friday to Sunday. Race registration includes Saturday and Sunday Lift Passes, ensuring riders can make the most of their weekend. Onsite Friday passes can be conveniently purchased from Jiminy Peak.
We will host ‘Rolling Awards” for Amateur/ Expert DH and aged grouped enduro classes.
This means you can pick up your medals and any prizing immediately after the results have been posted and the 15 minute “Protest Period” have passed. We will have the podium and backdrops set up for podium pictures. We will host a quick awards ceremony after both events have ended for all Pro Racers, the Oakley Showdown, the Oakley Speed Zone, the FTD Stage and the Climbers Challenge. We plan on following the same procedures for the balance of the season, the race days are long and we know you all want to get home as soon as possible.
