Peterson Lands on Podium with Third at ISOC Finale in Duluth, MN
For any racer, competing at Spirit Mountain in Duluth is a bucket-list experience—but reaching the podium is a memory to savor. The course is notoriously unforgiving, featuring steep, mogul-filled uphills and intimidating downhills—steeper than dropping off the CN Tower—packed with massive jumps that keep spectators on the edge of their seats and mechanics busy in the trailers.
Team LaVallee delivered a strong performance at the final stop of the ISOC Tour.

Bester had a mid-pack start and brought his Team LaVallee Polaris home with a fifth-place finish.
Round 2
Heat 1 – Ryley Bester & Adam Peterson
