MS-Evil/Gravity Team 1st at Nordketten Pro DH
On the way from La Bresse/ FRA to the UCI worldcup season finals in Val Di Sole/ ITA, the MS-Evil/Gravity team stopped in Innsbruck to race the “Nordketten Pro Downhill” invitational race in Innsbruck/ Austria. The infamous trail down the “Nordkette” is well known in the European freeride scene and no one really thought that it’s possible to hold a race with international top stars on this track:
Length: 4.2 km
Altitude difference: 1000 meters
Track record: 10:31 minutes
The competition was a team event where 3 team riders and one wildcard rider form a squad join forces. One rider from each team were assigned to a start group and got points for their final positions. In the end all those points got accounted for the final team standings.
The MS-Evil/Gravity team won the Nodketten Pro Downhill race with 75 points and 18 points ahead of Alpine Commencal. Furthermore Brook MacDonald won the individual ranking with a new track record of 9:26:34 and Filip Polc got 2nd in the individual ranking. Congrats guys!!

Ryan Howard at the Bearclaw Invitational
The 2011 Bearclaw Invitational slopestyle event was summed up by all the riders as “the best contest of the year!”. AT had to sit this one out due to his crash from Crankworx Colorado. Kelly McGarry is on the road to recovery from breaking his collar bone at the Red Bull Joyride event. Casey Groves took a fall during practice and joined AT on the sidelines. Ryan Howard was the only remaining Gravity team rider to compete in the Bearclaw Invitational. Ryan finished in 11th place but I think everyone agrees that he won the “Best Style” award. Nice work out there R-Dogg!
