The US Open has made a few changes for its 2009 event, to be held at the Diablo Freeride Park in Vernon, New Jersey, form May 22 to 24. Organizers have improved last year's downhill course and added a giant slalom race, featuring huge banked turns, jumps and rhythm sections. US$27,000 in cash prizes are up for grabs for the pros, and this juniors will also get their own categories in both the downhill and giant slalom disciplines.
Registration will open March 2 at 9:00 am local time. For more information, visit www.diablofreeridepark.com/usopen.html.
