Hardscrabble Trail Coalition and Matt Thompson of Momentum Trail Concepts just launched a $10,000 gofundme in order to build up Will's Thrill in Eagle CO, adding at least 12 jumps and other features. I'm sharing because I don't think either Rob or Matt are on here?

For those who don't know, valley local Will Olson, the trail's namesake, tragically passed during the 2015 EWS in CB: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/will-olson-rip-ews-2015.html

Copy/pasted from the gofundme site:

Why do we need to fundraise $10,000 to build a trail in Eagle?
Only a true professional can take an amazing trail like Will’s Thrill and transform it into a progressive trail like nothing else here in Eagle, and perhaps even Eagle County.

Matt Thompson with Momentum Trail Concepts knows Eagle dirt and he knows downhill. He is the perfect local partner for this project to MOMENTIFY this trail into a black, progressive trail with jump lines and downhill features.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
HTC is fronting $10,000 towards this project, VVMTA is generously donating tractor rental and fuel, Momentum Trails is donating their crew expenses, but we are still left with a $10,000 fundraising gap.

What do you get for your support?

~12 jumps progressing in size & difficulty as the trail goes down

~12 large berms for maximum cornering enjoyment

Rebuild of any existing jumps to be bigger and better

2 trail re-routes to create a sustainable trail

Go-arounds on all jumps just in case your not feeling it

Momentum is graciously building this trail now starting on July 13, knowing that we will come together to support it with the finances required.


Still not convinced? Click here to read on about the history of this project, the trail itself, the user experience and our future vision. Please consider that your investment today help’s ensure an amazing trail experience for everyone today and the little one’s tomorrow - who will quickly be ripping this line faster and better than you.
