Really step into the new rockgarden :-)

The Råbølstien trail got a new shortcut yesterday. It is an totaly new section. It is really step, the first two corners before flattening out going into a rough rockgarden that getts steeper and steeper before you are turning left into the last part of Råbølstien. It looks superfun already.

First section of the European Championship trail done

Yesterday we started working on the EC trail. This first section is the same we used for the relay in 2009`s Days of Thunder. We gave it an make over and some new lines appeared...
Never mind the tree huggers.

Trailmap European Championship

(Yes we were taking it eazy...)

Goodby from Moe

Moe has left for Canada and Calgary. He is now building jumps at the COP Bike Park with a fixed bucket, lol.
You are welcome bro, it`s been a pleasure.
Sadly three riders have been “checking out” the upper section of Rollercoaster as you can see on the pics. We need to put Flakes on it and get some rain, before the trail surface get nice and hard so it can handle all the runs it will get after it opens.
Please respect this and let us finish it before you start riding it. Waste of time to redo stuff all the time.

New Moe`town, almost...

Due to a lot of groundwater, we will unfortunately -not be able to open the new section of Moe` Town before next weekend. To make it even easier for us, some riders have been “checking it out” the newest section -leaving deep tire marks.
The rest looks good but was just reshaped the last to days so it need a week of rest before we can ride it.

Midsummer celebration

Everything is ready for a awesome Midsummer celebration. The snow we saved was enough to put up a rail on it and to get som sledging done!

Moe in Roller Coaster

This is probably the last "guitar hero" pic of Moe in a while. He is sadly leaving us in two days. It sucks. Period.

Moe`town

This is the first jump you will hit in the new section of Moe`town. It is a tiny step down with a long roll out. Newbie in the trail crew, Jonas -start to really get the hang of it.

More fun...

It just looks better and better. Moe is doing an awesome job. Simple as that.

Moe`town new section

Today we started putting in the jumps in the new section of Moe`town. After the awesome job Moe did last year putting in pipes, it dryed out really well. We hope to open this last section in two weeks. It will ad 11 new jumps and some sweet berms, linking Moe`town and the Parktrail into 3,2 km of machine built fun!

Work shop

The work shop was busy today. Knut (silver medalist in last years Nationals) finaly got the parts to change the fork for this weekend Norweigian Cup Race in Kongsberg. Gjørid had plenty to do with the rental bikes and Tore, well -was being himself...

Bacon on the run...

Pro Rider Makken has a new pet pig. It is called Bacon... and it likes to hang out in the Bike Park, just like Makken.

Trail crew

Ole Henrik was doing the last maintenance on Buldre trail today. He said that all the trails are in sweet condition. The only concern was the wet spot in Buldretrail.

Working the wrenches

Gjørid is our newest wrench monkey. Here she is taking here turn, getting the rental bikes ready for the weekend.

New Bumper stickers

We finaly got our new bumper stickers. Ask for them in the Bikeshop.

We just keep building...

After the awsome opening weekend with over 400 riders blasting down the trails, we are back to normal life here. Trailcrew are getting the trails back into shape and we started working on the upper part of Roller Coaster. The new section will add another 700 meters and bring the total lenght up to 1,9 km and a total of 40 jumps.

What a awsome day!

The first day was just amazing. Blue sky , groomed trails, good racing, stoked riders all over. Even "movie of the day" was done in time for the afterbike party!
Also the new built stuff worked well.
Thank you for all the hugs and nice feedback! Really made our day perfect.

Dirt jumps

The dirt jumps has been transformed from rough shaped piles of dirt, into good looking dirt jumps today. Nice job!

Roller Coaster

Moe from the trailcrew did a supersweet job with this landing.
Can not wait to try it.

Finaly done removing snow!

At midnight Jonas was done removing the last snow from Moe`town down to the Gondola. It is still wet but poosible to ride now.

Buldre trail

Just a awsome day
