March 2nd, 2011 dawned and 32 Day was back with a vengeance. Not content with a Banked Slalom course that everyone could finish, the Brighton Terrain Park built a hell track with one purpose in mind: weed out the unworthy from the field of 130 willing souls. Turn five was a doozy and there were more than a few close calls with staff and photographers dotting the course. No serous injuries were reported although several racers found themselves prematurely leaving the course in an airborne fashion.
As the race came to a close the rail jam started up with three features for riders to fight for the claim to the 32 Day overall titles, $320 cash, a board and boots. With more front flips than you could shake a stick at one thing was quickly obvious: swivels are finally dead. With the beer flowing all day, heckles from the surrounding crowd got harsher as did the bails. After nearly an hour of battle, bodies dotted the landings and a field of five men and four women were left to prove their worth.
In the end Noah Lohr and Wiki Jones emerged victorious having shown nerves of steel and equal grace on two treacherous courses that took no prisoners.
It was a long day, filled with sunshine, sunburns, flying snow, flat light, black eyes, beers, banked turns, backlips and only three intentional swivels. To say the least, 32 Day kicked ass, again, as it always does.
