VIDEO: Central Mass 4 DH Course Raw Run + Slide Hill Preview

What? Like you’ve never said something was the final update and then stumbled across a raw run of the hills you’ve been referencing for the last month? Well, no matter. We’re here now and it’s already in motion. This here clip features Central Mass Organizer Mike G. and friends enjoying the DH course and slide hill, ensuring plenty of fun will be had on the event weekend.
