Spot Check: Salem State Fairgrounds Dirt Jump Park and BMX Track

On the way back from Black Rock for the Shuttle Day, I went searching for the dirt jump park at the Expo area. Turns out it wasn’t at all where I thought it was. After driving around for over 20 minutes, I found the entrance. Since I’m such as swell frood, I made ya’ll a [...]

2010 Black Rock Shuttle Day Gallery

Two days of shuttled riding. Funds were raised towards a great cause, and an incredible time was had by all those that came out to ride.
Although it the trails were loose and a bit dusty, conditions of the trails were otherwise incredible. It doesn’t get much better than a day at Black Rock without having [...]

The Northwest School of Freeride at Windells Camp

It is heaven for a lot of 20″ riders, and more than a few top rank BMXers live in the area and call it home. However, when it comes to dirt, and facilities for beginners and intermediates, there isn’t anything for rider [...]

Abandoned BMX jump park found in Beaverton

When I drove by this practically abandoned BMX park in Beaverton last week, I had to stop and record some images on my iPhone. I was at once excited and more than a bit bummed to see it. It is clear that Tualatin Parks and Rec maintains the park from the recently mowed lawns. However, it is [...]

BMX action at the Tigard skatepark

I should get back in to riding a lot more skateparks. We’re based out of Portland at the moment, and while the trails stay wet during this time of year, the parks dry out pretty quickly. Add the high number of bike friendly skateparks to the mix, and I’m running out of excuses.

A bike park at Timberline?

The rumors were confirmed yesterday, when the page on the Timberline website went live. We’ve all been hearing about the possibilities of a world class bike park coming to Oregon, and the odds of having such a facility (just an hour away) is becoming that much closer to being a reality.

Salem Fairgrounds Covered Dirt Jump Spot Check

On our way up from southern Oregon we stopped off at the Salem Fairgrounds to see what the status of the covered bike park area was. There aren’t a lot of covered areas to ride in the winter here in the northwest, so knowing these jumps are happening could be relevant to our sanity in [...]
