Last weeks track connection!

Decline posted on their website a mini blurb on the Flouride race where Drew won second place last weekend. Second isn't bad since Drew slaved in the North Saanich Freeride Park for three days straight, him and I quit at 8 pm on Friday dehydrated and out of fuel for the bobcat.

Drew's our park slave as long as we let him play with a shovel and a bobcat he doesn't talk back too much.

Results:

Pro Men:
1. Lars Sternberg- Fluidride/Fox suspension
2. Andrew Mitchell- Cove Bikes
3. Bart McDaniel- Center Cycle
4. Richard Mukai- Rotec Cycles
5. Sean McClendon- Decline Griz America

Now keep in mind we are building a modern freeride park here in North Saanich and Drew is our key guy along with Kyle Michell -no relation- Since Kyle is in China building the worlds BMX track, Drew and I have been focusing on setting up the pump track area and planning layouts until Kyles return.
Check out Kyles Jumps in his front yard for a taste of whats to come.

Kyles work in Madrid...


And Kyles work in California...


This past week Drew and I did a super human feet and did a track connection -not the prettiest but we intend to top the track with proper soil as what we had was not future friendly.



Massive shout out to Jim Dunlop for supplying his personal bobcat for us to use, without it nothing would have happened and to Tammara at Classic Transport for picking up and delivering the bobcat for us to use.

I cannot even begin to count how many various firms have chipped in selfishly to make this work!
So hopefully this park -free at anytime for anyone- will set a standard for park designs in other communities and we can start training athletes for our sports both BMX and MTB. Keep an eye on the blog for updates!

Freeride Park update!

So what I have learned is this... Sun is better than rain and snow!

This was two weeks ago, after days of sunshine it decided to snow on the park on a build day. So... building was off but we decided to keep the machine in action and at least chew up some material because that is just fun.

This past weekend we had a mini build planned and cove-shocker Drew Mitchell of Cove Bikes swung over to help connect the large pump track but again it decided to rain. No luck. But we took the time to use North Saanichs Wheel Loader and designed the little kids track and form some berms with base material.

Everthing is wet so until ther material dries we are going to wait and hunt down more material for the park so we can make it professionallyBig Props to Gordy Martman Excavating for consistantly backing us up with machinery, it is making other parks jealous at how good we have it.
