RECAP OF FIRE 5 RACE #1 [RESULTS]

Racers attitudes this weekend were at an all-time high with race #1 in the Angel Fire’s Fire 5 downhill race series getting underway. With much of Colorado still buried in snow, Angel Fire Bike Park saw a record weekend in attendance this weekend attributing to a great turnout. The track up for domination was good ol’ World Cup Top-to-Bottom.

The military deuce offers a perfect mobile starting ramp for the bike park. This will be the starting ramp for the entire series and a great spot to grab some shade before dropping in.

Racer #76 Colin Mcelyea dropping in on the first feature of World Cup. Junior Men were out in huge attendance this race weekend. The future athletes of downhill racing are super fun to watch.

Racer#129 Garret Enriquez age 15, winner of the Junior Men, scrubbing in off one of the rougher sections of the course. This kid made the course look easy and with a time just over 5 minutes, shows some serious potential from this young athlete. Definitely keep your eye out for this name in the future.

Open Women racer smashing through the rock garden. Racers this weekend were challenged with some course redesign and loose conditions.

Quintin Kurtz, winner of the Open Category rivaled Pro Times. Young Talent is so fun to watch, especially when they throw down pro times. Quintin was only 10 seconds behind Pro Men. Definitely another athlete to watch out for. Angel Fire Bike Park is known to produce amazing downhillers by means of the big mountain riding it has to offer.

Open Women -1st Place Celia Ferguson, 2nd Place Kristene Krauss, 3rd Place Terra Chism

Open Men 1st Place Quintin Kurtz, 2nd Place Brett Donahue, 3rd Jake Rehfield,

Pro Women 1st Place Jacqueline Harmony, 2nd Place Jacqueline Thomas, 3rd Place Kim Godfrey

Pro Men 1st Place Zach Graveson, 2nd Place Chris Boice, 3rd Place Harrison Ory

With $1,400 getting paid out to the top pros and over $3,000 in product distributed via top 3 in each category with a raffle that just wouldn’t stop, racers were super stoked to attend the first race in the Fire Five series.

A huge thanks goes out to all of our sponsors:
