Hammer Drop charges into Barfield Crescent Park for the first time ever on Sunday, August 16, bringing tighter single track, punchy power climbs, and fast, technical descents that demand your full gas.

Barfield Hammer Drop: A True Test of Speed & Skill

• Unique Format: This one’s a little different…think time trial meets technical challenge. At Barfield Crescent Park, it’s not just about how fast you are—it’s about how smooth you ride.
• Challenge Sections: We’re adding 3 “No Dab” challenge sections throughout the course: Put a foot down? That’s a dab. Clean it? You’re in the game.
• Prize Opportunities: Hit 1 or 2 out of 3 and score prizes from our vendors. Clean all 3 and you could take home a $100 prime.
• Race Dynamics: Fast. Technical. Zero room for mistakes. Can you keep it smooth under pressure?
