Hi all!
The Pleasanton Bike Park has recently gotten some love. Shane and Manny organized the dig day, which started last Thursday. Approx. 10k yards of dirt + bobcat = good times : )





Please excuse the blackberry pics. There are now 8 rollers and a new 180 berm coming off the bmx track, the links up to two smaller tables. The middle start hill received some more dirt, and there are now two sizable tables into a 4' tall berm. There's a lot new features and lines in the middle section, and the ruts from the 4x4 has been cleaned up. Hope to see some of y'all at the next dig day or around the park.

Thanks,
Rich

Hey Rich have you heard anything about Bailey Bike Park lately?

Yup! There's also a new berm gap jump and a step down.

As far as I can tell, BBP is on Summer vacation. No activity on the Facebook group or at stoneracing.stonepress. I wonder if there were issues with permits from the city... well, that's a different thread.

Here's an overlay of some new lines. At the end of the bmx track, you can 180 the berm and line up for two rollable tables, then hip out, pump a transition, then even double-out from the berm-to-berm line. You can pop out of the 180 berm from the rollers, berm the top of the start hill, and drop in for the two bigger tables. There's also the step-down to transfer:

Really liked the newness at Pleasanton - rode it on my new 26" rigid and old 26" P1 in BMX race setup last Sunday morning - lots of fun. Props to all the hard work people have put in - keeps an old guy on his toes there...

Oh yeah- I got the text early last week from Manny, but only posted on mtbr and ridesfo. If anyone wants to get on the text msg distro for dig days, check with him or Shane.
