Pump Track Phase 2 = The Bike Park

Quinn and I gave our whole weekend to this dirty project, which I have been helping to design and plan for the last few months. We completed -- at least to the 90% point -- the next phase of the pump track at our local park. This phase focused on building a line of dirt jumps and a skills trail. We also linked them all together with the original pump track. With Phase 2 implemented, we can no longer simply call it "The Pump Track." It's officially going to be called "The Bike Park." Obviously, Quinn and I didn't do this alone -- it involved a huge volume of dirt and the machinery to move it, and a bunch of other people with shovels, rakes, and interest. It was really fun. Lots of kids, including Quinn, spent the whole weekend testing it. I'm too tired and sore to write much more about it so I'll just post a few pics. Next time we're out, I'll try to get some pictures of Quinn flying.

Here's Quinn standing on one of the table top jumps:

The skills trail coming out of the trees. These are the log skinnies, which Quinn and Abbey quickly mastered: I was a little scared of them, but was also able to ride all three.

This is the jump line -- the really big attraction for the more skilled dirt jumpers. Quinn must have run this line at least 200 times in the last 2 days. His hands are blistered despite his gloves.
