With SOOOO much “old school” freeride history at Windrock, the saga continues with something new for Eastern Tennessee, “King of the Rock - Windrock Omnium”. What’s planned? The weekend kicks with an Enduro on the mountain’s new XC trails that have been under construction for almost a year and then a grass flat Dual Slalom on Saturday, culminating with 2000 feet descent on some of the gnarliest terrain on the east coast for Sunday’s DH race.
