Gravity East Finals Race Results
ROXBURY, New York (derailedonline.com) - Gravity East Series Finals have come to a conclusion at Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury New York. The weekend could not have been more perfect weather - very uncanny for Plattekill in October. Sunny skys and warm temperatures reigned for the entire weekend. The race courses were stellar for all classes. The trail builders at Plattekill - Delta House Racing - did a fine job building and laying out two courses that were both extremely fun and fast.
Participation for the GES Finals race was 141 total racers. Down from last years 180+, but with rising travel costs all races this year have seen a drop in participation. The pro class was won by Alejandro Ortiz who is an Ecuador native living in the US who just recently upgraded to the Pro class only this year, followed by Chris Higgerson in second and Kyle Hickey. Shaums March of MMR racing was in attendance for the weekend giving public and private classes as apart of his MMR Riding Camps. Proving his coaching works, Shaums competed in this years GES Finals and placed 5th with a borrowed bike.
Final standings for the Gravity East Series will be posted this week on the Gravity East Series website and here on Derailed.
