The Rocky Mountains have long been the epicenter of mountain biking dreams in the United States. Renowned for the breathtaking landscapes, endless descents, and a diverse array of trails, the Rockies stand unrivaled as the ultimate destination for bike park enthusiasts. With over 8600' descending over six venues The Downhill Rockies will provide as much time between the tape as your forearms can take.

Diversity between venues is a key component to steady progression in Downhill. Crested Butte and Pajarito, respectively.

Pajarito is the sleeper of the series. Don't miss out this year.

This year, we are thrilled to announce the third season of the Downhill Rockies. Since its inception, DHR has seen exponential growth, captivating the hearts of riders. With the addition of a new venue to the already impressive schedule, this series is a testament to the spirit of mountain bike racing.

Kai Burleson was a dominant force in the junior division last season. We're guessing there will be some stepping up from last year from the rest of the category for some serious battles this year.

DH is strong in Crested Butte. The local community provided an entire category of seven girl groms to create a permanent 10-and-under girls' Cat! 2024 is going to be a whole vibe.

Hosted at many of the leading bike parks in the US, The Downhill Rockies is more than just a race series – it's a celebration of the mountain biking community. Designed by riders for riders, each event in the series embodies the true essence of DH racing. The excitement, competition, and camaraderie experienced at these races are electric. All at an accessible 6-hour maximum drive between the venues. The growth of this sport is our mission and providing a path that is also obtainable to core riders is not lost on us.

The junior categories were huge and stacked last year. No doubt bigger this year. #USDH

The Outlaw race team out of Utah had tons of fast kids on track last year. Admirable to see a program dedicated to youth based DH. — The Outlaw race team out of Utah had tons of fast kids on track last year. Admirable to see a program dedicated to youth-based DH.
