So I lived in Colorado and Im pretty sure there is no ocean nearby.. Also it makes me wonder why people travel just to go hit dirtjumps. I do it for DH and AM but DJ just seems almost the same anywhere you go so why spend all the time and money traveling when you could just ride or build something close by..

larryssman7 (Oct 1, 2012 at 20:59)

because the jumps in question are world class.

jkipp (Oct 2, 2012 at 20:35)

Yo JCsnowblader, before you bash on a riding spot you should learn more about the riding spot. Valmont is 40 acres of mtn biking heaven. It's a free public park just for bikers with not only dirtjumps, a slopestyle course, a dual slalom course, and 2 pumptracks, but also plenty of trails and singletrack with rock gardens and wooden skinnies and drops and other sweet stuff for any bicycler of any skill and age. It's also a lot of fun on any type of bike you may ride. You are right though, there isn't any ocean near Colorado...

jcsnowboarder (Oct 6, 2012 at 15:30)

Yo jkipp, I don't think you read my post correctly cause first off I didnt "bash" on any riding spot. I was just commenting on the fact that if you spent all that time and money traveling to Colorado from SoCal I wouldnt just be hitting dirt jumps; Colorado Springs, Keystone, and Crested Butte are just some of the world class places to ride in Colorado and all they do is hit dirt jumps. Second, even if Valmont does have all that sweet riding besides the dirt jumps thats the only thing they show in the video, which is disapointing to me. That being said I think its great that public bike parks are starting to pop up around the US. Wish we had something like that up here in Montana. But then again since we have way more land and lots less people than in Coloardo we just go out and build whatever with out worrying too much. Plus we got Grizzly bears not just those pussy black bears.
