These are the folks that make it happen for the Rocky Mountain mountain-bike community. Special thanks go out to Yeti for keeping the race scene alive and pumping here in The Rockies. To Fox Racing Shox and Shimano for keeping the bumps smooth and shifting crispy. And to Dale, maker of beer and itinerant rammer of beer cans up chicken butts.

The Mountain States Cup Championship series has grown over its 20-year history. It has become the premiere mountain bike series in the nation over the past five years, under the management of Bigfoot Productions, and in addition has become a valuable place to market to core consumers.
