Mongoose Hillbilly Bike Bash Nov 8 & 9, 2008
You don’t have to know how to spell bicycle to ride one, so grab your tooth, your coon hat, your sister and wife, (it's okay if they are one and the same) and enjoy a hoot and a holler at the First Annual Mongoose Hillbilly Bike Bash.
Imagine a serious gravity event mashed together with fun and games Redneck style! We call it the Mongoose Hillbilly Bike Bash and it’s sure to be a classic, when you combine tons of fun both on and off the bike with over 300 friends, family and MTB enthusiasts. Plan on a family affair that people will be talking about for years, with a weekend of racing, camping and redneck games like toilet seat horseshoes, Slingshot Shootout & the Redneck Sled Pull this is a weekend not to miss.
The event will be held at the beautiful Vail Lake Resort located halfway between major populations of Los Angeles and San Diego in the city of Temecula, CA. The resorts amenities include biking, waterslides, swimming, miniature golf, bar, deli, general store alongside 500 RV sites and a dedicated tent camping area.
The FOX Super D will headline the first day of competition on Saturday, November 8. FOX Super-D is a hybrid event that incorporates both Cross Country and Downhill elements. Throw in a free-for-all mass start on the wide hillside at Vail Lake and FOX Super D promises to be a spectacular sight. Did we mention it all goes off in true Hillbilly fashion with a guy wearing a coonskin cap and belly hanging overalls?
On Sunday, November 9 the action moves over to the Mongoose Hillbilly Downhill course where we have a fast course mixed with man made, natural features, jumps and classic So Cal soil for your racing enjoyment. Dress up like your favorite hills dweller and take a shot at best Hillbilly costume while racing for your shot at the STUMP.
Fun & Games: The Redneck Games are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and earn you big prizes like Bike Frames, Forks and Helmets with Slingshot Shootout, Bobbin' for Pig's Feet, Toilet Seat Horseshoes and the Redneck Sled pull with your master of ceremonies Mike “Hollywood” Miranda.
