Burning in a pump track, the fun way
Superior Bike Park is just about dialed. Time to chase details and burn a couple hundred laps on the main pump track.

Another great volunteer turnout. All features are riding well. The park is 99% final (a week ahead of schedule!).

Today was our first real day putting shovels to dirt. The day was cold but fruitful.
Superior Bike Park: We have dirt piles
By the end of today, dirt for the expert lines was placed. On Monday we’ll place the beginner features and start shaping.
Superior, CO should have a fully rocking bike park by March 20.
Superior Bike Park: Driving stakes
Today Farid and I marked terrain at the Superior Bike Park. Tomorrow the loader places dirt. On Monday the all-star crew — including Jerad Fischer and Nick Simcik — starts strategic shaping.
Big volunteer dig days March 12-13 and 19-20. The park should be done and fully rideable by March 20.
Stay tuned. Braaap!

Superior Bike Park: here’s the design
After 2+ years of wrangling, we have a design and a plan for the bike park in Superior, CO. We start digging in March.
2011 Sea Otter Classic pro pump!
I’m still wrangling details, but this much looks certain:
– I’ll be building the track for the 2011 Sea Otter pro pump track comp. Riding legend Jeff Lenosky and I are working on the design.
– The comp will combine elements of speed and style. It will be a head-to-head race with a time bonus for whomever throws the best style off the trick jump.
– I will be teaching clinics on the track! This is extra rad. Refine your pump fu on a world-class track. I’ll post times when I get the schedule.
– As soon as the contract is final, I will assemble the team. If you’re an experienced digger who wants to get paid to build (and ride) a revolutionary track, email me. I’m looking for people who know how to take direction and run with it.
This is going to be sweet.
