SF Bike Expo 2009
Nov 21, 2009
The SF Bike Expo was sick this year! The all-out, one day event was the place to see everything bike. The cyclocross racers had a long course that took them next to the dirt jumps, and into the Cow Palace. The proximity of the course to the venue made it easy on spectators, and allowed them to see both dirt jumping and 'cross racing from the same spot. Both halls of the Cow Palace were filled with vendors, bike shops, manufacturers, and the average Joe selling is his gear. The BMX stunt area was popular, as was the fashion show toward the end of the day.
The cherry on top was definitley the dirt jump comp. The jump builders were hard at work in the morning, putting final touches on lips and trannies. Dj Echo 5 pumped the riders during the practice sesh, and leveled them with the soundtrack for the finals. Cam McCaul, Greg Watts, Paul Bass, Jordie Lunn, and Gully were among the crew wrecking shop on the SF jumps. The comp came down to a final round, with Cam McCaul taking away top honors from this first annual event.
This event keeps getting better and will continue to deliver a great experience to all who attend. Thanks to Phil at Ride SFO for putting on a great event!
