Phil's Skills Area Revamp: Phase 1 Complete!

Exciting developments are underway at Phils pump track and skills area. The project is being completed in phases, with the first phase already completed. To do the necessary work, heavy machinery was used to move dirt and do sculpting, which unfortunately meant that the smaller pump track had to be erased. However, the designer and builder Kyle Jameson of Black Sage Dirt Works, simply moved the smaller pump track next to the main jump lines so that people could enjoy both.

This leaves a blank canvas for phase two of the project, which includes a sweet skills area with rollers, single track lines, and features like wood skinnys and rocks. The aim is to make it progressive for inexperienced riders to learn and level up their skills. We are still fundraising to reach our goal of $30k to complete phase two of the project. Our goal is to complete this project before fire season puts restrictions on machine use in the forest. 

The old features of the track were smaller due to age and erosion. Therefore, after re-sculpting the tracks with fresh new dirt, the new features tend to be slightly larger, with the expectation that they will settle in the coming months. While the change may be somewhat jarring at first, it is all part of the process, and more exciting developments are on the way. Keep an eye out for further updates on this exciting project!
