“The qualifier had a great turn out, both athletes as well as the fans showed up and did their part. The next two digital events will be even bigger. We look forward to growing this series for the riders and the fans this season.” Devin Tatro from the PWT said.”
Bill McCaffray of Alliance said, “The diversity of both skill and style from the qualifier submissions was truly impressive. It was great to see groms like Fynn and women like Jodi and Ashley submit lines and find success with this new format. I was impressed by all of the riding, but just as much so by the fan involvement. The fans had a tangible impact on the final placements of these riders and in some cases decided who made the tour.”
