The Dirksen Derby is BACK for its third season!! This race is pure comedy and skill and it’s your opportunity to win some of Josh’s killer schwag from Salomon Snowboards, Dakine, Bonfire & Scott. Join Josh and his buds for a freeride event to raise money and awareness for Tyler Eklund. And NEW this year, it’s legit, we have the MBSEF Official Timing System!
The format will remain the same this year. Emphasizing the need for speed and nice clean lines down a fun-loving, technical banked rally course peppered with bamboo gates, hay bails, cliff drops and a little bit of airtime. Register day of, at the mountain.
The cost of the event is $25 with all registration proceeds being donated to our friend Tyler Eklund who was seriously injured three years ago while snowboarding in California.
Registration is from 8 to 10 am in the lower level of the West Village Lodge.
