Lyons Bike Park update: Equipment and love
We made huge progress today — thanks to equal parts equipment and love.
Tomorrow:
– More super-pro jump shaping thanks to Brandan.
– Left Hand will start building the technical climb/descent.
– Start placing the various jumps and rollers, as well as the pump track.
Saturday:
Massive dig/ride session. Most of the dirt should be placed. I hope we’ll be doing final shaping and testing.
– We’ll start at 9 a.m. and go all day. Bring any tools you have: shovel, metal rake, tampers, McCleods, skid steerers … helicopter parking is available.
– Bring your bike!!! We need to burn in the lines, my friends. The rock lines are rideable now; the trick jumps will be ready tomorrow.
– Lyons Bike Park is right next to Bohn Park in Lyons. Google map.
Mega huge thanks to
The growing list of rock stars: Doug, Jake and Scooter from Left Hand Excavating; Raul from Blue Mountain Stone; parks director Dave Cosgrove and the entire Lyons work crew; Glenn from Bitterbrush Cycles; Brandan Turman; Brian, John, Dominic from the Yellow Designs Stunt Team; Sam, Chad, Nick, Ian, the list goes on … and The Wife, who brought me lunch and looked hot.
Go Team!
For something like this, you need equipment and love. And we have both.

Scooter: where have you been all my life?
Word! Glad to hear that things are coming together for you there. I think I should put together a “Dirt Shoveling and Jumping” program for you guys!
Ha! True: We were trying to throw dirt from the bottom of the big landing to the top, and most of us were having trouble getting the height/distance. I channeled my James Wilson kung fu, activated my hips and — bam! The dirt was flying!
It was all about the single-legged deadlift. Really.

SWEEEET!!! I hope to make it out!!
Lee,
The “The rock sections provide a range of lines, from super easy to pretty darn tricky.” section came out exactly how I had pictured! Hope it came out cool. Cannot wait to get out there and help/ride
We built some more today. Super tech!
