Post a video of the junior riding one of the qualifying features listed below to the DORBA Juniors Facebook Page. Please include the name of the trail and date. The attempt must be done in the month of February and the posts must be made by the end of the day on March 1st.
One feature can only be one category!! For example, 'ride da plank' at River Legacy could be counted as a skinny, a teeter totter or a signature feature, but can only be counted once and in one category.
Jumps must be 'cleared' to be considered conquered.
Participants must be 15 years old or younger. For the first year, participants do not need to be DORBA members, but may need to be in the future. We strongly encourage you to join and support the folks that build and maintain these features.
