Mark your calendar my trail riding friends: June 15-18, 2012. This is the weekend for Burning Rock’s 3rd Annual Thrills in the Hills Off-Road Jamboree. With newly formed off-road club Mountaineeer Trail Riders collaborating with the Burning Rock staff to amp up the event, let’s just say… hold onto your hat!
Yes, you’ll still find all the food vendors, trail rides, zip line, kids play area, races, live music, and fireworks we’ve always had. But, we’re blazing a new trail in West Virginia! This year, we’re making the event all about you – the rec rider.
You’re the ones that work hard at a job all week so you can play harder in the mud on the weekend. You can’t wait to pack up and head for the trailhead – often with your family in tow! The family that rides together stays together, right? And then you meet up with your like-minded pals. Ahh, there’s a wonderful spirit of friendship and comradarie among folks who share a love of 4-wheelin’. We’re really all the same, especially when we’re covered in mud! So with that in mind, let’s just say its a big Burning Rock ‘family reunion’ of sorts.
Bragging Rights Guaranteed!
Two exciting new competitons have been forged to test your mettle:
- Challenge at The Rock (Saturday): riders compete against the clock in this amped up obstacle course full of twists & turns, logs, tires, rocks and mud pit! There will also be kid & adult mud foot races and other games for prizes.
- Pro Armor’s Burning Rock Xtreme Mountain Challenge (Sunday): Sponsored by parts & assessories dealer Pro Armor, riders compete in this premier, one-of-a-kind extreme ‘skills’ competition of five individually timed challenges: obstacle course, frame-twister, mud pit, hill climb, and rock garden! Are you tougher than The Rock?
