There are some very fast Mountaincross racers in the Czech Republic--and it couldn't be that way unless there were great venues and stiff competition. So it happens that our rivals in the Czech Republic have invited the best and brightest 4X racers in this country to "get schooled" in Central Europe. Any takers? Read the letter below and you might get hot enought to buy a ticket.

Dear friends in fourcross,
As you might know, the famous Czech fourcross school was always that one to beat. Such champs as Prokop, Tatarkovic, Marosi, Slavik, Horakova, Labounkova and many other top World Cup riders have their roots in the Czech 4X Cup, a series that goes into its already eight season. Beside the CFC there are also two more series organized here in the Czech Republic. All together, almost twenty fourcross events (plus some dual slaloms) are scheduled for 2009 season!
So, how about to stop crying how bad is whole 4X scene and come to compete in the heart of Europe? You are always welcomed! We would be more than happy to see even more foreign riders on the gate.
Here comes all 2009 fourcross (and dual slalom) dates organized here in the Czech Republic…
