FONTANA NORBA NATIONAL PRESENTED BY MAXXIS
March 27-30, 2008
If you have never had the chance to experience the first ever Norba Urban National, all we can say is get there. The official kickoff to the National Mountain Bike Series (Norba National Series), Fontana is a weekend's worth of incredibly condensed mountain bike action. Picture an urban park filled to the brim with factory rigs, vendor displays, registration booths, cross-country start/finish, 4-Cross circuit, short track layout, Super D finish, downhill shuttle and downhill finish.
There is simply too much to see. Being smack dab in the 'burbs means bringing mountain biking to the people. Local residents come out in droves and entire families watch the world's best mountain bikers race in and around an inner-city park.
What if you need water, energy food, junk food, fruit or even a barbeque grill? Hop, skip and jump across the street to Southridge Plaza.
There is no other experience like the Southridge Norba National.
