I've known Marshall for a while now, and it's always really hard to get a hold of him because he's either working in the construction buisness, planning out future contests/jams and/or actually building them, doing maintenance at his (new) local trails & BMX track or getting busy with the ladies!
For the past couple of years, he wanted to get some trails going 'legally' and this year was the 'do or die' year. With a lot of patience & the help of good friends, Marshall finally got the approbation of the city of L'Assomption to get some trails running next to the BMX track. Big thanks to the local riders for their continuous hard work and commitment, without them, all this work would and will take a lot more time!
Here's what the dirt jumps looked like 1 month ago. This is just the beginning!
Marshall teamed up with Simon Villeneuve to create
MarshallTown. The two man crew take care of organizing sport events for BMX, MTB, Skate, Snow & Ski, building/renovating skateparks & dirt jumps and being alternative sports consultants.
Here are 3 dates to remember this summer:
July 21-23: Festival d'Art Urbain de Repentigny
August 13: L.A. Jam de L'assomption
Agust 20: Skatefest Lavaltrie
We've recently been on a trip to Toronto and Marshall got a chance to test out his brand new Suburban Dirt 2011. He's been riding 24's forever and he finally made the switch to 26's! Here's a riding photo and a bike check.
