Colorado has City built bike parks on lock-down. The second such park just opened. It features lots of jumps, trails, a pump track and is all City funded-rider built. This is the model for succesful bike parks.

This video was made by a couple of guys called Karl and Matt. I know nothing about them, except that they make really great videos and ride super well. Check out their site here. This edit was shot in Kamloops and showcases top level riding, filming, and editing.

Danny Hart
The 2011 UCI Downhill world Championships went down this weekend in Champery Switzerland. Regular readers at Dirtwest will know we love 19 year-old Danny Hart's bucking wild riding style. This year he won the Championships by almost twelve seconds on the rain-drenched, super steep course. I must admit I am glad to see someone other than Aaron Gwin win a race. Our other favorite Downhill rider Brendan Fairclough took a handy 4th(just wait 'til his knee is fixed) Here's a pre race video from Dirt:
Watch Danny Hart's amazing run through some of the toughest conditions imaginable.
