WMBC Trail News

Hey ya'll.

We had 45+ peeps on Sunday's build day. We got all of the risk management
issues knocked off the list on Unemployment Line (new name for the Luge).
Every jump is officially "caseable" and lots of jumps were tweaked to hit
better/safer.

There is still some revegging to do and 2 small sections of the old luge to
close down, but it's entirely rideable top to bottom. The list of thanks is
really too long to mention, but I've got to throw 'em out to Durand and Hawk
who had the original vision and Andrew Fletcher Love and Colin Tobin who
were out there EVERY day for 3 weeks straight during the initial build.
Last, thanks to Jon Syre and the WMBC board who really trusted our judgment,
BUT made sure that rider safety and sustainability be our paramount
concerns. Don't get me wrong..this is a trail that advanced/expert level
riders are going to love due to the "Varsity" moves, but intermediate riders
will have a real opportunity to get comfy in the air without having to hit
Whistler.

A few things:

. There are 40 jumps, too many pumpers to list and 22 berms. It's
going to take a lot of rides to get the trail figured out. So take it easy
on your first few runs and take a look at anything you're not sure about
before givin'r. Some sections will take many passes before you'll be able
to link up the jumps.

. This trail is downhill directional and I will be putting signs up
later this week at the entrance and exit to address this. You wouldn't
push up A Line, so no pushing up from the exit of Unemployment Line.

. If you stop to session a section, you are responsible for staying
out of the way of riders. Don't stand on backsides of transitions or around
blind corners. That includes your dogs (mine too). Pretty obvious, but it
has to be said.
