Slippery Stone Productions and I teamed up this fall to nail down a video at the Evolution bike park here in Crested Butte. With winter right around the corner, trail conditions were pretty variable ranging from drifting in fall foliage, slashing snow patches, and straight up pig pen mud. Needless to say, the conditions kept things interesting and overall really fun when I was staying upright. We had just enough time to finish up filming before the snow hit the mountain hard, then it quickly transitioned into full blown winter conditions around here. With a few feet of snow covering the trails now, all I can do is look forward to next season's slash-fest. For now, it's time to dust off the snowboard and practice a little different type of slash.

 Wp is sick, there's no denying that... My comment was about how mellow and chill cb is.... Plus if you look in to the lesser advertised bike parks, like, Vail, aspen, and Silverton ( when it was open to bikes)
You'll see there is some killer riding

 I rode every trail in that bike park this summer and don't recognize many of these shots. Are these off-map?

 Pretty sure I rode this trail with a local they call, "Red" last year. Trail was sweet and Red was chill. Love CB.

 CB has the best, most mellow vibe.... As far as bike parks go.... It's not so Colo-RAD-bro, like the others!!!

 Since I spend my northern hemisphere Summer's working 7 nights a week in order to save $ in order to spend 3 months a year in Queenstown, I can honestly say I don't get around much... I'm lucky to get a day a week at Trestle bike park, which I find quite good... That said, please enlighten me as to where in 'Murcia has a bike park better than Winter Park?
