Powers Creek Trail Day

Posted on by Smoke

Time to buff out those trails.  And with the first rain in weeks, it’s looking good to build out there.

Dan, you thought you’d gotten out of the club scene didn’t you (he used to be the President of the NSMBA)?

Nothing major got built today, but almost the entire trail of Builder’s Only got smoothed out and buffed.

Justin, Rich, and a few others also went out to 2.5 and cleared a ton of deadfall from the winter.

The rest of us moved huge rocks around and filled in all the holes.

The crew at Outbound kept us fed and watched the bikes so we could rip.

Can’t do this on the Shore either…

Wildlife sighting, one small purple dinosaur at the bottom of the mountain.  Those things are endangered, eh?

Gillard Trail Day

Posted on by Smoke

The last Trail Day of the spring is here.  It’s just too hot and dry from here on out to get any quality work done. Honestly, with events almost every week, it’s just too much work anyway.  Luckily, Gillard is in really good shape this year.  Just a few notable spots, like this stunt on Wobbly Pops, to fix up.

There was also this problem root ball on Boss Hog.  We had a serious lack of saws today, so we took turns with an axe and cleared it by hand.  It’s a double stump, too.

May hands make short work, though.  Ryan also went crazy on a bunch of older stunts on BH that were falling down, and there’s a couple of sweet additions and some general buffage all around.  The Hog hasn’t looked this good since before the fire.

A bunch of guys also went and buffed out Kerplop, so that one is prime now too.  Big thanks to Kelly at Fresh Air for putting this together.
