Video: Cam Zink Opens New Flow Trail in Florida

Apr 3, 2020
by Sensus R.A.D. Trails  


Last October, the crew at Sensus R.A.D. Trails built a flow trail at the Santos Trail System in Ocala, Florida. We had heard how many people would show up to the annual Fat Tire Festival in the beginning of March but had to go back and see for ourselves. Cam had yet to see the finished product in person and Cody had been recovering from a broken wrist when he was building, so making it to the official opening of Indigo Flow was definitely a treat. Really not sure if we could've used 60 feet of elevation any better. We need to extend a huge thank you to the Ocala Mountain Bike Association, Ron Griffor for the unmatched hospitality and getting this project going in so many ways, Ray Petro for mapping out the original route and every single rider that has enjoyed this trail or showed up to support the local trail organization. Your donations to OMBA go a long way! This event was held in early March and although it's easy to look back at a gathering this large with criticism, please remember that things changed quickly after this. We have been following all precautions since this event and hopefully, we can get back to activities like this again soon! We're grateful that we were able to become honorary members of the Florida mountain bike community and we look forward to making it back down there when the world starts to open up again.

If you have a vision for a project in your area please reach out to Sensus RAD Trails, our goal is to bring great riding to the world and can work with you in any capacity.

Stay tuned for some more updates from RAD Trails! This down time has allowed some behind the scenes work on some cool projects!

 All of you guys who are doubters should give Florida a try. I started going down there in 2010 and they are some of the nicest hard-working folks you’ll ever meet. I’ve been building wood features there from around 2011 until I got her in 2017. They have a huge support from the local writers and the donations are through the roof. You really don’t need a lot of elevation to build some fun stuff. I built an empire in a dead flat building. Who would’ve thought?

 As someone building some trails on my personal property with a whopping 20ft of elevation to work with, this gets me stoked! And it's something I can actually do in quarantine!

 For sure! the pitch was actually really great for jumps and plenty of speed throughout. The trail ended up being way faster than we thought it'd be! Good luck with the build!

 Heck yea, this is my local spot and it is so incredibly fun. The closest thing to this is a bunch a crappy 10 ft tabletops that you really have to pedal to clear. Thanks to OMBA and Sensus RAD Trails! The trail absolutely rips!

 Lived in FL for 11 years, rode everything from Miami up to Santos. Something is better than nothing but the best trail systems in FL don't even compare to bad trail systems here in CO. They just don't have much to work with. My opinion the ideal bike in FL is a 26" or 27.5" HT with 110-130 fork and a 65-66.5 HTA and for tires something like the Minion SS. Dropper NOT needed. Or the same bike with 27.5+ because of all the sand. Cool to see this, glad its growing, ride what ya got, glad I moved!

 I've gotten to ride in South Florida (missed Santos, and I was bummed), and its pretty incredible how much fun and flow they can pack into so little elevation

 I’ve got about 75’ of elevation but only like 150’ across my lot. Gonna start building drop lines soon....
