Mark your calendars now- we need the biggest turnout of riders the city has ever seen to to knock out the dirt jump park, polish up the freeride trail, and assist IMBA subcontractors (and pro riders) Jeff Lenosky, Kyle Ebbett and Judd deVall in building our Highbridge dirt jump park in Inwood, Manhattan.

The full-time crew will be in there starting Monday, March 12, with heavy machinery. If you're available during the week to help out, we would love your help.

On Saturdays, March 17 & 24 starting at 9 am, we'll be amassing a small army of volunteers to help with the dirt jumps and pump track, as well as to rework sections of the freeride trail that need attention and continue work on some of the XC trails. This is a major opportunity to build amazing trails with the help of IMBA and NYC Parks (and some top national riders). Tell everyone you know!

The jump park is located at the northern tip of Highbridge Park in Inwood, Manhattan. Parking is available along Fort George Ave., and the park is easily accessible from the 1 train at Dyckman Street.

Due to the exceedingly poor conditions, we're cancelling the Highbridge work day scheduled for tomorrow, March 17. Digging trails through several inches of snow and slush in 30-degree temps is not anyone's idea of fun, so we're going to cut our losses and try again next weekend.

Speaking of next weekend, please join us Saturday, March 24th at 9 am and the following weekend, Saturday, March 31st at 9 am for Highbridge volunteer trailbuilding days. Pro builders Judd De Vall, Jeff Lenosky and Kyle Ebbett will be there to lead groups of volunteers in three work projects- the XC skills loop trail, additional work on the freeride trail, and of course shaping the dirt jump park.

Thanks for bearing with us. See you next weekend...
