A rider from Middle Tennessee State University, the Blue Raiders, disappears into the Angel Fire horizon on a practice run. The jump was one of three large “road gaps” featured on the 2012 downhill race course. Hogan Koesis, Angel Fire Bike Park director, said the course this year was “smooth” compared to Angel Fire’s signature trails to accommodate all riders and bike types but assure that “the fastest rider will still win.”
