Sneak Peak of new trail on grizzlys


A new trail section funded by lottery west and built by 3 chilles has been started.
Here is the 1st section that will please dirt jumpers and trail riders.

 

 

 

It will compliment the last bit of dh section on grizzlys along the rd, before a short flat section where you cross over to near the gravel pit to where this was filmed, all the way down to the car park.
It will all be a substantial bit of fun dh trail to the car park to finish off a long ride on a feelgood note.

The main aim was to rehab a section that was prone to water issues in winter, which became like a flowing creek duing and immediately after rain. Hoping to sort it out forever.

The current path thru the gravel pit will be changed into a jump track similar to the jump track at Pemberton, except ours will be better.:

 

The fat guy on the bike was me struggling to control the bike on the new section.

After some more building, I was the crash test dummy to make sure the trail flowed well.

here is some more footage of the trail.

My fitness, riding skills and editing dont do it justice.

It will be a trail that is talked about until the next best trail is built which may be some time.
