Racing dual slalom on a mountain bike represents what an "alpine coaster" tries to re-create. However there is no greater glory than racing head to head with your friends through dusty trees and floaty jumps. Grassroots Cycles of Grand Junction, CO continues to hold one of the fastest and longest slaloms in existence. Here is a quick video highlighting the pro/amature MRP "Super Slalom" race taking place at the 2012 Grassroots Ranchstyle event. Ranchstyle is an event celebrating high excitement mountain bike competitions at a private compound comprised of countless jumps, drops and an ever growing slopestyle venue. The slopestyle is the weekends main event however the lesser known slalom is a real spectacle.
