Invergarry

Little Shredder surfacing

The City of Surrey teamed up with some from volunteers last week to resurface the green flow trail: Little Shredder in Invergarry bike park! No more bumps and rocks poking through the trail. Most of the trail has been capped in crushed gravel to smooth things out and increase durability. The nice thing about crushed gravel is that surfacing material can be material added on top and it will adhere really well. It rides great and is only on rollers and not any berms or corners. The decision was made to use it over the clay-loam due to a lack of moisture in the soil on site at the time of the volunteer event. With no water at Invergarry summer building is tough to do.

done for now... now we need rain

Sometimes the best time to build new stuff is when its dry and dusty. Its really easy to make some moves on stuff that can't/wont be ridden until the rainy season. This is one such spot... a part of the cornercopia pumptrack was growing grass(a sure sign a line isn't being ridden) so we switched it up... Now to wait for some rain so we can pack and shape it into a working line. That's the trade... easy earth move but a line that wont be finished for a while...

Brandon Semenuk

This is probably the coolest edit I've seen. It's filmed in one shot. Brandon Semenuk is one of the best riders in the world on one of the coolest trails in the world filmed by the best people.

Download the complete film on iTunes now: http://radi.al/unReal. unReal is available for digital download on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and more and is currently on a worldwide film tour.

To celebrate the release of unReal on iTunes (http://radi.al/unReal), Teton Gravity Research (TGR) and Anthill release one of the most acclaimed segments from the film. Widely recognized as the best slopestyle mountain biker in the world, Brandon Semenuk has become the first mountain biker to film a full segment in a single continuous shot. This uninterrupted shot was filmed by the most advanced gyro-stabilized camera system, the GSS C520, mounted to a truck on a custom road built next to a custom trail that took three weeks to build. This true cinematic achievement required perfect coordination between Semenuk, Anthill Films, and TGR with regard to athleticism, planning, timing and logistics.

Injured at the time, Semenuk only hit the full line once.

The historic moment was produced for unReal, the feature mountain bike film inspired by the unprecedented creative union of production companies TGR and Anthill Films, and the limitless imaginations of a group of the best mountain bikers in the world.

GET LOST IN THE MOMENT

"There comes a time in all our lives when we must let go of all the chaos and clutter of the modern world and tune our minds to a simpler idea…to see into that empty space just a few feet in front of us and see nothing else… to see the path ahead as a story yet to be written. Entire days of our lives can pass by without meaning, yet within these moments of absolute clarity there’s an entire lifetime worth remembering. It’s simply a matter of letting the rest of the world melt away…"

Invergarry Cornercopia pumptrack got some love this weekend, Special thanks to the rain! More please.

Brad's yard

Our friend Brad's backyard pumptrack is running really well. Brad hand-built this track himself. It's really awesome. Watch this video of him enjoying his hard work

Fun Fun park pumptrack

We finished up the pumptrack at Fun Fun park in south Surrey last weekend. Here is a timelapse of the action...

Fun Fun Park

We volunteered for the City of Surrey recently and built two pumptracks at Fun Fun park in South Surrey. Above is the pumptrack construction video. Expect us to post more photos soon... The tracks aren't fully packed and shaped yet but they will be ready for bikes soon, until then please don't ride them:)

Here are some panoramic shots from taken throughout the construction process:

The track in Brad's backyard is coming along nicely... its starting to get bedded in and is going to be hella fast this summer... more photos after the jump>>

Cornercopia

The day's crew

Dirtwest was out in force today in Invergarry bike park on Saturday. We completed some major improvements to the north side of the Cornercopia pumptrack. Check out the photo’s below, and this timelapse of the work!

Some trail gnomes just beamed over some pumptrack love. Looks like a little reshaping for the 180 corner at the North-west side of the track took place.

Tarmac Pumptrack

This is a new tarmac pumptrack project in Thailand by Velosolutions.  Claudio Caluori you might recognizeas the colourful commentator/rider doing course previews for World Cup DH. Check out how the local kids flock to the new track on whatever bike the can get their hands on.

Up and Down Squamish

Up and Down Squamish features a thrilling trail ride loop on Diamond Head in Squamish, BC. Shot in sequence, this 30km loop takes around 2-3 hours, hits 6 trails, climbs a total of 1500 metres (nearly 5000’), and rewards you with 10 km of descent. Enjoy a mix of hand built trails and machine built trails that have been made possible by SORCA, Dream Wizards, and countless volunteer hours.

The first trail on the loop is called Power Smart. Located at a high elevation and off the beaten path, this trail has endured more damage caused by water than by cycling, dirt biking, hiking, or even horse riding. This trail is wild, with lots of steep, technical switchbacks and loose rocks the size of your head. During most of the year water runs down the trail, you’ll be sure to get your feet wet. It’s not a popular trail that gets ridden very much and it is in dire need of repair. This trail is a lot of fun to ride though, be sure to hang on tight. Power Smart feeds into IMBA Smart. There are nice long corners and well planned switchbacks on this trail. Enjoy a descent followed by a bit of climbing as you pass from mature forest to areas of regrowth. Carve around narrow round corners, cross tidy bridges, and have a fast exit! This trail is another hand built gem in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Next is a trail called Fred. This is a good XC trail that has a few punchy climbs, some short, steep descents, and lots of technical turns. The more you ride it the more you’ll discover the flow built into this trail. It gets better every time you ride it. Ongoing maintenance continues to improve the drainage and speed.



Tinder is next; it is the obvious way to connect Fred and Your Mom. A brand new machine built trail by Dream Wizards, it features bermed corners, braided climb lines, table top jumps, split cedar river crossings, and manageable grade climbs. Cruise through fresh clear cut and enter the mature forest! Your Mom is a real charm. Here you will find lovely curves and corners. Beware of adjacent borrow pits as one false move means you’ll be buried alive. The gentle terrain carries good speed, but watch out because there are corners that will catch you if you’re going too fast. You will finish on Phil and Cams which is also the bottom of Pseudo-Tsuga. This piece of trail rewards you for all the hard work you’ve put in. Enjoy easily acquired speed, bermed corners, rollers, and optional gap lines as you cruise down to the bottom parking lot. People will be watching, so be sure to pick off the last gap to berm.

Thanks to Dunbar Cycles and Transition Bikes for making this video project possible. Thanks to SORCA for overseeing and maintaining the vast Squamish trail network. Thanks to Dream Wizards for the addition of Tinder Trail this summer. If you feel obligated please purchase a trail pass and/or donate to SORCA for increased maintenance and further trail development at SORCA on Trailforks. - Sid Slotegraaf

This pumptrack apparently is in the city of Stuttgart. The pump track was completed this month in Neugereut . It was designed and built by Konrad Willar who has already made a name with the pump tracks in Weilimdorf and Botnang .

This type of all season track would require very little upkeep. It's fun for all levels of riders and can be used by more than just cyclists.  Pumptracks also take up a small footprint and lets face it they look dope. Pumptracks rule! Here is a video of the Weillimdorf track being riden by some young folk  check out 2:52 for a track walk.

Invergarry tree planting

Today we planted 95 trees and 105 shrubs in the meadow area between Little Shredder and Excitabike in Invergarry Bike park. We had a great turn out of volunteers from SORCE! Big thanks to the City of Surrey for supplying tools, plants and people power too!  In the past three years SORCE has planted over 500 plants in Invergarry park alone. Food and drinks were generously donated by Guildford Starbucks located at 10174 - 152nd Street
