On the 27th of June 2009, some of Europe's most dedicated downhill fanatics headed to the 2006 Winter Olympic city of Bardonecchia for 2 days of mountainboarding in the mountains. The first day was given over to the Freestylers, with DJ's, beers and a massive BBQ for all.
Check out this vid of the freestyle action.
Daniele from Board Off-Road and Mountainboard Italia was there with his camera on the second day to capture the riders going properly downhill, against the clock... The results are below.

For the first time, the next Downhill comp was held on the following weekend. So once everything was over in Italy, many of the riders packed theirs boards up, crossed mountains and borders to the next event, The NoSno World Downhill Championships in Les Saisies, France, for some more high-speed descents in some more truly awesome surroundings :)
