The Rock Yard is a $2 million jump park at Turkey Mountain featuring five progressive lines built around a massive hub structure made from car-sized boulders. These rocks—excavated from a nearby bridge construction site back in the 1980s and left undisturbed for over 40 years—were stacked into a fortress-like formation that serves as the central feature. From there, rolled steel I-beams form the jumps, while wooden features handle the turns and roll-ins. Progressive Trail Design even used Trail Armor (a marine-grade carpet) laid shingle-style in the berms of the first three lines to see how it holds up under heavy use.
Don't come here expecting mellow progression—there's no easier line than a blue, and keep in mind that's a regional designation that might feel even harder to riders from other areas. Names like Janice Droplin, Jimmy Sendrix, and Steesy Nix tell you everything you need to know about the wild, rowdy nature of these lines. The third line (one of two blue/black trails) gives you a taste, as Stouder describes it: "It has a rock roll in leading to a tabletop, followed by a big step-down, then berm-berm and more big, sendy tabletops." Each line offers about 70 feet of descent, with pro-level lines featuring 30 to 40-foot gap jumps.
The fourth and fifth lines are reserved for professional-level riders only, with massive jumps and features that demand serious skill and commitment. This is progression riding at its finest—each line builds on the last, ramping up the intensity until you're launching gaps that would make most riders think twice. There's absolutely nothing like this in Oklahoma, and it's poised to become a regional draw for jump park enthusiasts looking for something truly unique.
