Marin County, California has long been considered the birthplace of mountain biking ever since a group of daring riders starting bombing down fire roads in the hills north of San Francisco on modified road bikes. Although the skills and bike technology have progressed greatly over the years, the area trails and facilities haven’t always followed suit. Thanks to a dedicated riding community and years of planning, public meetings and fundraising, a progression-oriented bike park is finally coming to fruition. FlowRide Concepts has been fortunate enough to help lead the charge in the construction of this facility. Having been brought in by IMBA Trail Solutions as the experts in jump and skills feature construction, our team has spent the summer of 2015 building out phase 1 for the Stafford Lake Bike Park. Despite challenging site conditions and consistent coastal winds, we carefully crafted an action packed dual slalom race course and extensive progression jump zone. We and built tested these features to cater to riders of all abilities and can’t wait for the community to hit the trails once the park is opened to the public in late August 2015.
