As usual, the 2009 U.S. Open was full of thrills and spills. The Pro finals were brought to a climactic conclusion as a thunderstorm rolled through just as the close of the last Am riders were making their runs. Who would be the fastest down the now damp and slick course? Check inside for more details.

They’ve changed the course slightly for the U.S. Open. A few areas are taped tighter than in years past, a new step up and berm have been added as well as a reworked final field section. While walking the course we GPS’d the route so that we could give everyone an idea of the elevation drop and satellite imagery of the event. Check out the link to see what the course looks like from above and how the terrain varies as riders progress to the finish.
