Vernon, New Jersey will host the first Jeep 48Straight round on August 22-23 at the Diablo Freeride Park at Mountain Creek. Organizers released the full schedule this week, and it will include racing, music and entertainment. Their objective is to empower people to celebrate and connect with the outdoor lifestyle.
Competitors such as World Champions Brian Lopes and Eric Carter, as well as former and current national champions Rich Houseman and Melissa Buhl, are a few of the elite athletes who have signed on to make a run for the title. Local professionals and semi-pros will also have a chance to grab one of the spots in the competition through an open qualifier which will be capped at 75 men and 25 women.
