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.
