What Do We do at Work??

So as a trail Crew member apart from raking rocks off runs and removing brake ruts we build stuff 2!!! Thats the best part!! Below is our newest trail Back in Black. We finished the top section this year and it was opened to the public last weekend. And the response to it has been awesome. there are big gaps upto 15ft , drops upto 13ft. Below is a drop of 6ft then a gap of 12".
I didn't think earlier in the year I would ever been hitting anything like this but I am now. It certainly gets the blood pumping..

This feature here is called the consumer. It has over $10000 of yellow cedar and 30 kg of nails.
Below is Pete hitting the lower section. You can also gap onto the top section which has a berm too.
The consumer!! Its big!
Pete dropping of the end, then its goes into a vert wall ride which is the last pic.

It has been a awesome summer. Who knew getting paid to make stuff and riding bikes could be so much fun!! Hopefully Ill have some pic of me hitting these features and others soon.
And in other new on the 8th of sept we are off for a road to Whistler to see their bike park on a day of research and development. and maybe some drinking too!!
