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 [...]

BRMBA’s Covered Dirt Jump Park in Salem, Oregon

We spent our New Year’s Day on the couch, talking about bikes, and watching videos and movies. Not to mention, doing a bit of recovery from the previous night’s festivities. Our host, Rocker Dave Walker, was telling us about some covered Dirt Jumps a short drive from Portland, located in Salem, Oregon. A quick check [...]
