Just a heads up that there will be a saturday coming up soon for work parties on the new dirt track. We need to get more done before the ground dries out too much. Is there interest in offering support on the case?

Berm to jump style track. Not heavy duty downhill stuff, though I am currently pushing for some short downhill runs to be put in for the summertime.
Hopefully get a date for work soon.
See whoelse would be interested in getting involved, that would be really cool. Get them to sign up to the site! |

Around the main freeride area there'd have to be a launch tower. It's probably just steep enough to get runs in. There has been talk of spreading into other areas over the fire roads. Say 30sec runs.
There's also been talk of an NPS standard 4x course....
Make 'em nice and techy.  |

It's not certain but there was quite a bit of talk about it earlier in the year. However everything's slowed down there construction-wise so it won't be happening this year for sure. We still need to finish that small dirt run and the shore needs updating as well. Don't rule it out though, as it will crop up on the agenda as soon as the other stuff's done....
