Thrills and Skills MTB Festival in Kanab, UT

Official Announcement: The next Thrills and Skills Mountain Bike Festival is anticipated to be held in the Spring of 2027. We hope to have new trails to introduce you to, useful clinics and lots of shenanigans!

One of the funnest events of the festival was the Crazy Bike Contests. We weren't quite sure what contests would be popular. It turned out, the ones related to the Skills Clinics had the most action. Here are some photos of the Ride the Rail, Long Jump, Longest Wheelie, and Bunny Hop. Thanks to Josue Garcia for taking the bull by the horns and giving the CBC his all!

Could this be the future of Crazy Bike Contests at the Thrills and Skills Bike Festival? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPHR5bRCAuH/
