2014 Sun Peaks Bike Park Update #3
We always strive to bring you Bike Park updates rich in content with as much relevant eye candy as possible, this week we’ve upped the ante and are excited to present a video update straight from the boys in the trenches. They’ll even tell you a bit about the eagerly anticipated return of both Sugar and Sweet One, not to mention the newly rebuilt Biker Cross!
This past week our popular Biker Cross trail has been the subject of mini excavator assault, delivering a well-deserved total rebuild of this high traffic lower trail. The original Biker Cross was built as a dual slalom course, however in recent years the surrounding vegetation has had more of a singletrack route in mind. The rebuild has focused on bringing the course back to its former glory in this regard, now plenty wide allowing slower riders to take the lower route and more advanced riders to tackle the high line packed with bermy jibs on this flowing roller coaster of a trail. Every berm is being rebuilt with playful, springy transitions, and jumps through the flats have been torn down to make room for creative new features with multiple line options to switch up your descent.

Work has started on upper Route 66 as well, rebuilding the classic “dusty berms” section:

Slated for next week is lower Route 66 and then on to Steam Shovel. Stay tuned for updates over the next couple weeks as the crew continues to ready the park for opening day on Friday, June 27!

The buffed out trails look sick! Good work guys
h82crash - We couldn't agree more, however the Silvia boys have moved away from the area and onto new and exciting opportunities. Check out Matty Miles ripping with the Coastal Crew, we're stoked to have had the pleasure of working with these guys and wish them all the best!
