Eastern States Cup Downhill Finals: Plattekill 7

The 2019 Eastern States Cup Downhill Series came to an end this past weekend at the iconic Plattekill Mountain. Plattekill is one of the oldest downhill venues on the east coast and is famous for its shale rock and steep chutes. In classic Platty fashion, the weather held out for Saturday and Sunday morning then proceeded to start raining as the first group of racers came down the track in the afternoon. Nerves were a little tense and line choice reconsidered in the wet, but with it being the last race of the season, points were doubled allowing a chance for those to jockey for a better overall position. As always George Ulmer and Chris Gilbert put on an incredible season of racing in the northeast giving downhillers of all ages and skill levels a chance to see what they are made of in a positive, fun, and friendly environment. We are truly lucky to have those guys and all of the ESC crew. Their hard work and dedication allows everyone to enjoy a safe, fair race.

Dreams came true and hearts were broken, scroll down and check out who took to the podiums and who ended up getting into the top spots of the overall. Thank you to everyone who has checked out these posts throughout the season and big thanks to everyone that is down for the cause, #USDH for life! -Jack
