Was really hoping for a California winner. I wonder if the outcome would have been different if two of the projects weren't right next to each other.

We don't want a beginner trail at Demo! I'm glad it didn't win, keeping it advance technical trails! Car traffic there is getting pretty bad. Vote for Stafford if they offer again!

Even though I do most of my riding and digging at Demo, I actually voted for Stafford just because it was a much more ambitious project with, as you just said, more advanced, unique features.

My friends and I appreciate the people who do trail work at Demo like you. We don't see you, but the trails speak for themselves. Thanks!

That is so awesome!! This is exactly what Arizona needs to get more exposure. We have amazing weather and terrain but are far behind most other states when it comes to parks and lift access. Bell you guys are awesome!!

Please vote for Cottage Grove Bike Park! We have been working very hard over the last few years to build and develop and well-rounded and diverse riding scene here. We are focused on bringing alternative and progressive riding facilities such as the CGBP to the Twin Cities Metro area so that we can get more youth into the sport! If we win the grant we will be building a 1 acre world class dirt jump plaza that will help bring our park to the next level! This park is going to be a huge asset to not only Cottage Grove and the Twin Cites but all of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, as there is nothing else like this around here! Thank you for your support and again please vote for Cottage Grove Bike Park!

Minnesota and the Upper Midwest needs better riding opportunities. Plain and Simple as that. There is currently barely anywhere to ride unless you want a 29er. Over the past couple years things have been getting better with a few smaller bike parks and Duluth's DH trails. Still, the riding scene (outside of XC) is very small here. WE NEED SOME DIVERSITY!!! Please Help!

Congratulations Ft Tuthill and a big thank-you to Bell Helmet's for giving Clubs this opportunity. We are hoping to follow suit here in Chicago with Andres Bike Park. We have been working very hard building the park over the past year and these funds will certainly help us move forward. Andres Park used to be badly run down, we have cleaned it up, and given the community something to be proud of. The Park will provide features for the local kids all the way to advanced riders and your vote will be greatly appreciated. Vote Andres Bike Park, Carpentersville, IL

Was really hoping for Stafford Lake because it's so close. But it's still good to see that Flagstaff will be getting a bike park. Happy shredding Flagstaff!

Andres Bike Park has a lot to offer in area where biking is often frowned upon. For once we have land managers willing to work with the community and help cultivate the sport now we just need your votes and support!

Yeah, for once there is some land in the Chicago area with elevation change where we can legally have jumps. I went there for the first time last weekend and it was sweet, so much room for expansion!

Voted for the Cottage Grove Bike Park in MN. That project is an amazing example of how a community can come together to make things happen. The City of Cottage Grove is pulling out all the stops to support the project, and the surrounding bike community has really stepped up to make sure everything is done right. This park is going to be incredible when it is completed but Cottage Grove needs your help to reach the finish line. Please show support for the MN riding scene by voting for Cottage Grove! Thanks.

Marin would have had a bigger park tho with more to offer

I'm glad Santa Cruz didn't win, just say NO on beginner trails, Keep Demo technical, that's how it's alway been since the 90s! There's already a bunch beginner/ intermediate trails in the bay area!

Santa Cruz has trails. Marin needed it. I bet splitting the Bay is what let Flagstaff win.

Huge congratulations to Ft. Tuthill. I've been to Flagstaff many times, love the town, stoked to see something like this come to the town.

Congrats to the winner! Honestly, I don't want anymore digs at Demo Forest in Santa Cruz. Car traffic is getting pretty bad with fuckers flying through one lane road without disregard.

Would be sweet to get some more SoCal trails going, down here it is more of a dirt jumper scene. .. or it seems that way to me
