At the end of a simply unbelievable
week of riding, the Nine Knights MTB jam
format contest was brought forward a day
due to sketchy weather forecasts for the
weekend. Held on the same hill as the Nine
Knights Snow contest, the Mottolino Fun
Mountain in Livigno, Italy, the 2015 MTB
contest was one of the sickest days in the
history of the Nine Knights. Riders such
as Diego Caversaszi, Sam Pilgrim, Peter
Henke and Sam Reynolds were tearing up
the hills and pushing freeride mountain
biking to new levels.
