We need more DIRT!!

Been a while since I posted a blog, bike season has kicked in full swing and we are just awaiting some material to cap the course for the soft opening.
You can see some video of it, the paint is unreal. Drew's ride!
We have to date built the entire park on volunteer time and efforts and no budget what so ever!

This park is no joke Canada in not known for taking care of their athletes, so props to North Saanich for stepping up.

Check out Drew's new ride he took to the worlds here
You can see more here on Sickline "What the Pros Ride"

Anyone who knows anyone with material please contact me Greg at 250-655-6603


So here's the update: Our designer/ builders report.

Kyle Michell just got back from building the UCI BMX worlds and Olympic track in Beijing. He still cannot breath he claims due to the nasty smog.

Andrew Sherry is floating around at competitions and pulled a solid 8hr, 8 man work party forming the berms coming out of the first pump track and the kids section. Halting due to lack of material.

Andrew Mitchell is in Italy right now racing the second World cup after a bad crash In Scotland a week or so ago. Back on his game and in 16 hours the race begins so stoked to see what comes of it.

Click here to watch some footage of the course they will be battling on! FreeCaster it is sick! You can see Drew slide by around the 1:04 mark on his orange cove.

So we will get the park going the first chance we get some material, so stay tuned.
Anyone wanting to watch it live go to my friends website he has the countdown clicking.
