Hey everyone, just a quick reminder that Joyride 150 opens tomorrow. In case you didn’t read my previous post, Joyride is Ontario’s (and Canada’s) first indoor bike park with something for everyone inside the 90,000 square foot mega-complex. Pack your bags and your bikes and get out there for some fun!

Bob_the_builder and I will be out there ASAP. The courses are well thought out and expertly built and this is the place where you can ride to your heart’s content all winter long. Check out the Joyrides website and get details. I’m sure once you check out Joyride you will be as stoked as I am!

Cheers

How many times  have you thought, “wow, cool feature on this trail” or “what a great transtion on that last jump” when riding your favorite trail? Ever wonder how those trail features got there in the first place? If you’re riding in Ontario it’s probably partly because of Bob_the_Builder.

By now you have may have met Bob_the_Builder (also know as Kevin) in the forums. Kevin has spent numerous hours laboring on some of the trails in and around Toronto, fixing them up and making them “magazine quality” like the one above. Over the last couple of years our area trails have been really improving and becoming more technically advanced because Kevin knows the ins and outs of building sweet tread.

Catching up with Bob_the_Builder (BTB) on his latest trail creation close to an undisclosed ski area (still secret), I had the opportunity to chat with him about trails and trail building. I quickly found out that we both share the same ideas on what trails should and shouldn’t be and we spent the day going over his latest creations. I have to say I was really impressed with his dedication to the sport and his craft.

I am happy to say that he will be regularly posting on Singletracks, sharing his expertise on trail building as well as writing up a few reviews on DH specific products.

Cheers folks!
