Posted By email hidden; JavaScript is required  §  Apr 16th, 2010

Of course you’re all going to be busy competing in the 1st race of the 2010 Jolly Roger DH Series on June 6th, but if you’re looking for something to do on the Friday before or the Sunday after, Shad Holland will be holding a build session for the Maple Plain dirt jumps.

According to Shad:

“The build dates are June 4th, 5th, and 6th. The project was supposed to get done late last fall, but delays caused us to have to put it off until 2010. So this is it, it’s all been approved by the city and is ready to go and the dates are set!

Most of the updates for this project will be happening in the f-bom blog at http://f-bom.blogspot.com.”

Middleton Bike Park Marching Orders

Posted By email hidden; JavaScript is required  §  Apr 1st, 2010

Hi guys!

Great news!!!!

They’ve started grading the site for the Middleton Bike Park! They are bringing in pro builder Ben Blitch to help get it all rolling!

Pulled this off the madcitydirt.org website!

“Just got off the phone with Ben Blitch who is going to be the contractor working in Middleton. He wanted to describe what he envisioned happening at Middleton. Needless to say we have a fair amount of work to get done before he arrives.

1. He will send schematics for the pump track based on dimensions that are provided to him

2. He would prefer to have a roughed in pump track in place when he shows up

3. He would like to groom and adjust pump track as necessary to ensure it is acceptable to Middleton

4. He would like 5-10 people to show up each weeknight after work to help until dark.

5. He also plans to rough in the jump/flow line and help teach our locals how to properly construct this element.”

So get stoked guys! I’m gonna try to roll up from Chicago for a couple days to help out!l!

Thanks!
Buck
