Maiden the Northwest
Whistler, BC. September 2002. We're all sitting around our condo at the base of Whistler. The room is reeking of perspiration, rubber and mud. Bikes and gear fight us for the limited floor space. Discussions come and go like the jumps on Whistler's A-Line trail. Ultimately, the conversation turns to the lack of a Northwest downhill team that shares our philosophy of racing. We believe in constantly challenging one's self, celebrating the competitive spirit and encouraging personal growth. Talk takes a back seat to action. Ideas are penned on paper. Cell phones are picked up and contacts are made. Speed Metal Racing had just been born.

Speed Metal Downhill is a new team based out of the Puget Sound, Washington area. Boasting a roster of sixteen racers, we are already one of the Northwest's largest teams. The Speed Metal Downhill 2003 schedule includes the WIM Series, the Western Washington Downhill Specialties Series, select NORBA NCS Nationals (including the newly announced Schweitzer venue) and the Sea Otter Classic.
