This year the Eliminator race has to make way for the new Kona Top 2 Bottom Terminator as this dual freeride slalom will raise the bar of this weekend to a completely new level in regards to action, excitement and fun! Now all bike riders have the opportunity to show what they are made of- in a professional surrounding, on a course that has been built and designed by the HU Corporation: aka “The Leo Gangsters”.
The excitement will not end with the Kona Top 2 Bottom Terminator. The 26 TRIX Dirt Jump Contest will take place during the weekend only a few meters away from the race course.
