<b>Matt Walker knew that for #RoostOff Worlds to be taken seriously, some pre-determined uniform decisions had to made. In 2011, he made some changes to the event bi-laws requiring classy attire for all participants. Party events mean party shirts.</b> -Lee Trumpore

Description

Steep, loose, bench-cut, bermy switchbacks. The #vanzacs crew has searched for the last 9 seasons all over the globe to find the ultimate venue for a new breed of extreme mountain bike competition, The #RoostOff World Champs. During Crankworx L2A, they had finally found dust nirvana and made the call to open the event window. #RoostOff World Champs wouldn't run unless the temperature exceeded 35-degrees C and the clay-to-shale ratio was at least 3:1 with a moisture content of only 37 parts per billion. Luckily Mother Nature played her part. The secret list of invitees descended upon an unlucky berm and mountain bike history would be made like never before inspiring confidence in the future of two-wheeled, dirt-throwing progression.

Get on your respirators because you're about to get covered in dirt at the first-ever #RoostOff World Champs!
