Black Rock Freeride Trail Preview

Black Rock Mountain Bike Association  near Fall City Oregon, hosts several fundraiser throughout the year including a shuttle day
coming up this weekend. I didnt sign up in time, but headed down
yesterday to check things out.

Trail Report:

Thanks to the trail builders,  some winter improvements, and continued dialing, Black rock is ripping right now.

Overall the dirt is great. There are a few loose turns but lots of good dirt exists.

Bonsai DH- has the best dirt of any of the trails right now.

Break check- some loose spots so time your break checks well.

Sickter Gnar- was riding well, but I never hit the lower section.

Higlights: The Runaround got a makeover at the top greatly improving
the flow and speed of the trail. Grannies Kitchen is riding real well, its
buffed out and I like the looks of a future wall ride (?!?) at the top
berm, (0:54) and the mid section has a really fun step-in-step-out wood feature.

Here are a few video course previews for GK1, GK2, and The Runaround.
