The 2009 U.S. National Championships of Mountain Biking

What an incredible weekend at the 2009 U.S. National Championships of Mountain Biking. Aaron Gwin and Melissa Buhl claimed downhill titles while Mitch Ropelato and Jill Kintner took home titles in Mountaincross at the SolVista Bike Park. Pro downhill riders were treated to a track with 3 huge jumps ranging from 40 to 50 feet in length, which drew huge crowds of spectators. With a 6-percent growth in competitor attendance, the National Championships at SolVista were a success.
