Freeride Park is plain and simple brilliant. Rapid uplift, cartloads of
food, countless downhill runs of mixed intensity and severity. All
within an hour of that great hive...the city [New York]... The U.S.
Open was a brilliant race, probably one of the best ever"

the current dissarray of the national race circuit, it is the

"I made a last minute decision to fly out to the US Open at the Diablo Freeride
Park in Vernon, NJ and so far I have been LOVING it! The track is sick! Loads of
rocks and flat turns and an awesome berm section. I can't get enough of this
track."
