Anyone catch a glimpse of the trail work on Lower Joyride or Clownshoes 2? I hope they're done by next week.

Checked it out today. Def gonna be quite a few wood hucks in there. I think its going to be a modern remastering rather than a complete rebuild. Im guessing something more like fade to black than canadian open.

Not sure what the first part of this quote means. a good 50-60% of the trail will be on a completely new line. Wood pillows, doorstop kickers and assorted other nonsense will be a thing of the past. The second part of your quote is correct. Fade2black ish but longer, and harder I think.

Joyride will reopen when we have the time to allocate to fixing assorted broken bridges. Apologies for the lengthy closure.

Was Dirty closed today because it was so soggy? BV was open but I'm thinking it shouldn't have been.

Looks like they are buffing the last couple jumps on the new section before it meets the old trail. They had the machines out doing a re-work on that last big hip before it meets up with old DM.

Amazing day today. Only shitty part was dirt merchant was still closed down. I think they may be fixing some drainage issues when it rained and showed where work was needed, but to be honest I'm not sure. All I know is it was 26 degrees and sunny, but it was still closed.

Has anyone been up Top of the World yet?

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

I think just the park crew has been up there so far.
