The SCOTT VIP Experience: Demo a Bike, Win the Ultimate UCI World Cup Weekend
Posted by The Elephant’s Perch · Hosted with SCOTT USA
This September, Soldier Hollow is trading its Nordic skis for knobby tires. The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is rolling into Midway, Utah for the first time, and The Elephant’s Perch has teamed up with SCOTT USA to give one lucky winner (plus a guest) the best seat in the house — for free.
Here’s the deal: demo a SCOTT mountain bike at The Perch anytime between August 19–28, and you’re automatically entered to win the SCOTT VIP Experience — two VIP passes to the UCI Cross-Country Olympic World Cup, dinner in Park City, and a night at a Park City resort. No purchase necessary. No strings attached. Just a test ride.
What You Could Win
Two VIP tickets to the UCI Cross-Country World Cup on Sunday, September 20th at Soldier Hollow — a former Olympic venue that’s about to host one of the biggest mountain bike races North America has ever seen. Winners get grandstand seating, athlete access, and a full weekend built around them, including:
- Front-row race viewing for Sunday’s XCO, with indoor/outdoor spaces right next to the finish line.
- Athlete & team access — insider time with Team USA athletes, coaches, and staff.
- Curated hospitality all day, including breakfast, lunch, drink service, and VIP parking.
- A full weekend, not just a day — a SCOTT bike demo, dinner at Versante Hearth + Bar, a night at Newpark Resort Park City, and full race-day access.
How to Enter
It’s genuinely this simple: just show up. Stop by The Elephant’s Perch, demo a SCOTT mountain bike sometime between August 19th and 28th, and you’re entered in the drawing. No appointment necessary — every demo ride counts as one entry. Questions? Give us a call at (208) 726-3497.
Meet Bjorn Riley, the SCOTT Athlete to Watch
Racing for the SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing Team, Bjorn Riley is one of the fastest riders America has produced in years — three UCI World Cup wins, and back-to-back U.S. national champion in both XCO and XCC. At just 23, he’s coming into Soldier Hollow on home soil, and VIP guests will get insider access to athletes like him all weekend long.
