WARREN, Vermont (derailedonline.com) - Fifth stop on the Gravity East calendar concluded at Sugarbush resort in Warren, Vermont. The course was long with a very fast and long fire road at the start leading into a World Cup type of course with bermed turns and fast downhill sections out on the open ski trail. This then led into the numerous wooded sections eventually to the finish out of the woods at the bottom. All categories started on the same course and then in the woods sections there were two areas where the Beginner/Sport classes were split off before coming back together before the last section before the finish. There were some very technical sections on the Pro/Expert course that took their toll on the racers with numerous crashes and dinged up riders but no serious injuries.
