Northstar ProGRT

Jarod Smith tellin' it how it is

Northstar, or in the summer known as Gnarstar, hosted the ProGRT race on its Gypsy track this weekend.  Boulders, pedaling, tiring, altitude, step-downs, long, hot, moon dust and fun pretty much sum up the downhill course.  It was one of the biggest turnouts for a Northstar race including some of the biggest names in gravity racing.  Jill Kintner, Kathy Pruitt, Melissa Buhl, Joanna Petterson…..and for the guys Greg Minaar, Steve Peat, Bryn Atkinson, Cedric Gracia and the new fast guy on the scene, Mitch Ropelato.

Pruitt sending it to the finish

Kintner convincingly wins the DH, Pruitt comes in second finishing with massive air setting the crowd off, and Leigh Donovan gets the third best time showing the mountain bike world that she is back and fast.  Buhl comes from behind to beat Pruitt by a tire knob in the 4x.
