Behind the Build: Preparing for Black Sage with Kyle Jameson and Carson Storch - Video
Behind the Build // Preparing for Black Sage with Kyle Jameson and Carson Storch
Hosting a Fest event is akin to throwing a huge party for all of your good friends. But that's often the easy part—it’s building the course that is the real challenge. After a winter of unprecedented snow in Oregon, Kyle Jameson and Carson Storch have been working non-stop on the build for Black Sage Fest. With Kyle’s experience building Cruz Fest and Carson’s connections in Oregon, these boys have created the perfect venue, putting an insane amount of blood, sweat, and beers into making the entire event come to fruition.
Once the build is done, it’s time for the party.

Sick course one hell of an push to get it done through this crazy winter and creating an awesome event. I enjoyed walking the whole course just as much as watching the insane off axis flips at the bottom.
Growing up in Santa Cruz watching lines develop year after year then moving to Bend and seeing this come together over a winter gives me a lot to look forward to how you guys will develop this into the future.
HUGE PROPS

As somebody who use to live in the PNW and now lives in PHX. I want to roll around in all that soft loam... oh man how I miss it. One day I will reunite with it... one day...

Hey, what is the riding like in Phoenix compared to the PNW? I'm in Portland now, but this winter has been too much (does the sun still exist?) and my wife and I are thinking about moving to Phoenix or somewhere around there.

@davidgilbert28: Dry, loose, rocky, but fun as hell at the same time. Totally different than PNW. The thing I hated most is the 115+ degree summer days.

@davidgilbert28: we've got some excellent riding in AZ, some of it in and around PHX. South Mountain has some serious tech in National, Geronimo and Holbert trail, is the largest municipal park in the country, and is smack dab in the middle of the city. Fun very fast XC loops throughout the valley, K Trail at Gold Canyon being a fav of mine. The valley is ringed with mountains and there's riding spots at all of them, some better than others. But - just a 1.5 hour north and you're in Sedona. Two hours and you're in Flagstaff and the SF Peaks, with summer temps in the 80s. Both areas are the bee's knees.
