Ballantyne Upgrades

I was riding this morning and came across a crew doing some serious trail building on the advanced section of the trail. Looks like a very interesting set of jumps and berms going in. Not sure on completion dates, and the rest of the trail is still accessable, but there are some cool things going on there!

All good. Just hope the rain doesn’t affect it. I’m 2 blocks away and the dirt looks ok; but not rideable yet. May have to take Hank, the unofficial trail dog out in the morning and see how it looks. Usually a good indication of trail status - but a bit analog. If the white dog comes out of the woods and is still white.... pretty good sign that the trail is dry!

Dry paws!  What a great day on the trail. Luis and the guys have done an amazing job out there. There were 10_20 folks just sessioning that section of trail all day long. Steep, nice berm with a wall ride feature, 2 ladder drop sections and a table top have been added. Super nice job that had everyone from 7 yrs to 50 years riding it and having fun. You want air time, it’s there my friend. Gotta say this is an excellent example of trail building. 

Great to meet you too 29FTW. Thought it was especially cool to see the whole family out there including your wife and dog. What a great sport!  Anyway hope to see you and ping me if you want to head over to Rock Vegas BMX some time.
