I just got back into jumping after a four year break... Can someone help me find/build spots around Tacoma?
Dirt Jumping in Tacoma, WA
- Thread starter Powder Legend
- Start date
There's a park in Seatac off of I-5, but i have never been. Word is don't bring your car or it will have the windows busted out and everything stolen. Can you get on Fort Lewis?
your closest bet is softies that I know of. ^^^^doubtful, you need a good reason and some athorita
Too easy for me, much more difficult for others. There is a bit of riding back in there. Although seeing other riders is rare, it is usually lycra clad XC people on the fire breaks or roads.
Softies in Seatac or Greenlake in Seattle is all I know of.
The Softies are in SeaTac, at a park called Des Moines Creek Park

There's a flow park area with jumps and drops that is pretty well used, and then the Softies, which is what you see in the video. It's a little bit more difficult to find. You have to cross the creek.
The last time I was there was after a big wind storm a while back (right about the 2006/2007 turnover), and everything had downed trees laying all over it. Hopefully someone got out there with a chainsaw and did some clean up.
