Beasty Geurilla Granny Gear Cross

Holy cow folks! So I made it out last night to assist in course markings with Zach and I (more Zach really) finishing up this morning and taking some laps. Once the grass gets beaten down this place is gonna be more fun than a barrel of whatever fun things come in barrels. Laughs? Anyway, the space is so huge that the possibilities are endless. I really like what we've laid out, but obviously nothing is set in stone so if you see some more entertaining lines, have at it. Where we're riding is George Rogers Park on Poplar Level Road.

Start/finish spot runs along McKinley Avenune next to lots of grass parking. Course is marked in orange paint, just follow the directions of the arrows and you should continue to find more along the way. Minus normal obstacles it's got everything you could want. Tech sections, wild fast downhills, monster climbs, off camber fun and as Zach mentioned in the previous posts comments, the cattle shute which is kinda my favorite. All in all, I think this would be a great location for just about any MTB or cross event regardless of our layout or not. Check it out and let us know what you think. Rememeber we're not professional course designers, just trying to have some fun.

  3. there are two climbs and they aren't THAT bad. they aren't as hard as a couple of the short tract series'. the goal of this course was to make it as diverse as possible and prepare us the riders anything (see-saw not yet included), i think it's almost there. don't let jimmy scare you away. i a think sunday night work out would help to trample the grass, i'll be there.
