Stumbled across this from the local Granby newspaper. $25,000 purse for a gravity stage race at SolVista in 2011.

(nice photo depicting a gravity race, LOL)

A quick call to Matty Thompson (SolVista's Bike Park Director) netted this official quote:
โ€œI need to clarify that we donโ€™t have specific commitments from anyone in the bike industry yet, but will be working with lots of companies to make the Triple DHip a fun, unique experience.ย  As soon as the town budget becomes official, weโ€™ll have a press release with specific details.ย  Iโ€™m encouraged and excited about how everyone is rallying around this event.ย  We look forward to making it very special for both pros and amateurs alike.ย  Weโ€™re not content with only offering a large pro purse; the Triple DHip will be heavy on prizes for the amateur classes.ย  This is a fantastic harbinger of things to come for us in 2011.ย  The Triple Dhip isnโ€™t all weโ€™re working on.ย  Stay tuned.โ€ - Matt Thompson, SolVista Bike Park Director
