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.

Friends of North Saanich aka FreerideBC!

So this is our first blog post, we literately just opened this blogger account so that we can start announcing what we got cooking.

We are working closely with the District of North Saanich to open up a modern park fit for all styles and levels. Our Society is set up and everything is a green light now we are building our member base and preparing to break dirt in a few weeks.



300*300 ft with a healthy batch of large old growth for us
to design our pump tracks and jump lines. We want this to be a work of art so making it in phases will be a must. In the trees is a open space full of natural obstacles to design around, it may look small but this is a large parcel of land.

Coolest part is that yes this is a modern park but it really isn't another "jump park" we will have large pump tracks and double down courses for everyone to ride regardless of the skill.

So being that this is a modern park the design will allow for advanced riders to progress their skills in double diamond jump lines . Those who are intermediate or novice will have their own area to ride until the skill levels increase.

More info to come.
