A Weekend of Fun and Fierce Competition

The Dustin Rudman Invitational is masterfully organized by Dustin Rudman and Laura Minter, along with their dedicated team. Their passion for mountain biking has created a platform for riders to develop their skills and boost their confidence on the trails.

Day 1: Practice and Preparation

Downhill mountain biking is all about confidence and technique. The first day of the event focuses on practice runs, allowing riders to get a feel for the trail and fine-tune their approach.

Day 2: Race Day

When race day arrives, riders shift into competition mode, showcasing their phenomenal talent and bravery on the course. The event isn’t just about the race, though – it’s about camaraderie and fun. Unique rewards like Huck-to-Flat, Ballies, Sprogs, and even dance-offs make this event truly unforgettable. Want to know what all these mean? Join us at the next event to find out!
