Posted by Editoress on 05/24/09
After a lengthy rain delay that rendered the course muddy and threacherous, the racing finally got underway in New Jersey. Canada's Miranda Miller used her West Coast skills to take the top honours in the women's event, while defending Champ Steve Smith crashed and could only manage to finish 8th.
Sam Hill took the win for the men.
