Invergarry work party

can you spot the flow change?

We helped out with a dig-day at the Invergarry pump track. We moved a lot of dirt and flushed out a lot of drainage on the track. A lot of work by a small group of volunteers. We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered their time! Big thanks also to the City of Surrey for supplying the great fluffy dirt, drinks, snacks and the help of Staff at the event!

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.

contouring and packing crushed rock

We were at Fun Fun park on Saturday and finished the run-bike track and surfaced the large track in crushed stone. The next step is to cover the stone in mineral soil and pack. More photos after the jump>>

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:

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

Dustin Gilding

Dustin had a big hand in how the new trail Shovel Buster turned out in Invergarry bike park. he is a great rider and a super friendly down to earth fella. Its great to see him getting the exposure he deserves! Watch this short edit filmed in his parent's back yard.

Dustin Gilding has spent the last 6-7 years digging his ass off to transform his family's property in Abbotsford, BC into an intricate personal bike park. Liam Mullany and Bryce Piwek spent the weekend at Gilding's yard and came back with this short piece reflecting on the sheer sweat equity he has put into his trails, as well as the subsequent opportunities he has created for himself through building. This is Dustin Gilding - From the Ground Up

Alpine Bike Parks - Shovel Buster trail new landing

Alpine Bike Parks started construction on shovel buster yesterday. The first day of the build was met with tough conditions. Heavy rain made it difficult for the machines to work at optimum efficiency, but the crew of ABP powered through and accomplished quite a lot. The plan is for the Shovel Buster to be gussied up the whole way down. ABP will be installing SIX premanufactured lips and a sick satellite feature on the trail. the amplitude of all the jumps is being increased at the same time. Sadly this means there will be no beginner trails, but we can always try for that in the next phase. SORCE/ABP can only do so much in a year within a given budget from the City of Surrey. Keep in mind that the COS is supporting the sport of mountain biking in a big way. Shovel Buster is unique in this part of the world. Can you think of another city built park with something like it? As Invergarry park builds a larger user group and the local bike club SORCE achieves higher membership riders in Surrey will be able to request more and more work to be done by Alpine Bike Parks every year.

A big thanks goes out to all the volunteers who showed up!
