What is Pineapple Express?

It’s simple: within the Mystic Bike Park we will have some timed segments, not many. Ride them as many or as little times as you like over the Pineapple Express weekend. Your fastest time on each segment will combine to provide your total “Pineapple Express Time”.

Now here’s the smoke on the water: you don’t have to be fastest to win.

There are no categories – everyone is equal. Inhale and see if you get this:

Prizes go to each person who finishes on a 25th percentile. Or for those who don’t watch Big Bang Theory – we will divide the field into four sections.

For example if we have 600 riders, prizes are split for the people whose times sit at the following spots: 1^st (because there always has to be a pick of the crop); 150th, 300th, 450th and so on.

Timed segments are held on a mixture of Blue / Black / Double Black gravity trails. There will be a blue alternate route for each black / double black segment.  We show you multiple routes to get to each section including easier routes and the tech route.

How much money can you win?

Well now here’s where we may need a bucket.

Blue Dirt will provide $1,000 across the five categories.

PLUS: We will then add 10% of all sponsorship revenue raised.

PLUS: And then we will allocate 10% of all entries to the prize pool. The more who enter the larger the prize pot.

PLUS: We will throw a Blue Dirt Season Pass on top valued at $990 each.

Get even more dope – this means bring your friends, grow the pot and increase the bang of the pineapple express.

Last years winners took away over $5,000 in cash and prizes each.

But wait there’s more…

There will be spot prizes for:

• best fancy dressed rider
• The ultimate bike bling
• best party shirt on Saturday night
• The best pineapple tattoo will get $200 cash (yes someone won this last year)
• funniest photo hashtag
