Updated: When Are Bike Parks Reopening?
We have 2 weeks books there in August. It will be our 6th vacation there, though we haven't been in a couple years. They were still working on the upper Route 66 the last time we were there. Since we were last there, they've reworked Smooth Smoothy in to a new trail, added a new top-to-bottom green run and added a new jump line, so we're pretty excited. :D

Telling Yuri's Story
My father slipped off a ladder and hit his head on the bottom of a pool. He had very similar mobility that was described here, with only being able to use part of his arms and limited use of his hands. After a full year in the hospital and period of heavy bitterness, he learned to love life again, and my hope is that Yuri will as well.
I'll echo some of what was stated in this article. Always ride within level, never hit anything you're not comfortable doing and warm up. At the tender age of 45, I've found I need to do this more than ever, especially before hitting BC parks or shuttles. As some others have mentioned, I too have been considering on getting more encompassing body armor as I know I will get injured more easily and not recover from those injuries nearly as quickly as my 25 year old self used to.
