Every Tuesday we are focusing on the amazing efforts of the talented people that create our awesome parks. Today is an especially appropriate day for park riding. We got some snow yesterday and it is a bit warmer today softening things up a bit. Thus, the landings to that new trick you're trying to stomp are a little more forgiving.
It's brilliantly sunny and the groomers worked all night to keep the terrain high and tight. It's a bit cooler than a spring day so it’s even better- less ruts and edge-sticky snow at the end of the day.
If you're like me this early in the season, you are still trying to resurrect your stock tricks and trying to convince yourself that there is no age limit for park entry... but try telling that to the hematoma on my ego, not to mention my back end. Still, I'm stoked that I can throw out some board slides here and there in the Progression Park . I am also I having fun with my current best trick, the nose poke. That's poke, not pick. I know, it's NOT fancy. Whatever your skill level it’s fun to get out there and test your abilities and the way I see it, as long as you're having fun you're doing it right.
But back to our parks, the people who make it happen are masters of their craft and work tirelessly to build terrain that gets us voted as one of the top 10 parks in the United States. (That was the voice of riders, not some mysterious body of randoms like in the "Acadamy"). You can catch a video about what's going on in our parks every Tuesday for Terrain Park Take Over.
Get some sun while you can the forecast is calling for more weather throughout the week… wait, that's a good thing too!
Life's good.
