We actually broke ground and started the massive task of building a line at Duthie MTB Park. The givin objective was to build an intermediate line to bridge the gap from 2-Hi to Zeb’s Line. We designed most of the jumps to be a two or three lip to one landing kind of situation. Also some hips, that allow for building skills, along with rollable doubles. Here are a few pics of what was accomplished the first week. We will be out Sunday 3-27-11 around Two to keep the progress going! Its right between Ryan’s line and Zeb’s. Feel free to stop by and help…enjoy.
Here is Travis following me down the Dirt White Boys Line at Duthie. The park is a great testament to the kind of people we have in Washington State.

Thanks to Kat who helped put on a great event for kids out at Duthie Hill Park last weekend. Some of our riders were out there and here is Phil Sundbaum thanks to Kim Sturts. Check out more videos by him by clicking his name! This is on the Dirty White Boys line!
Show your support this Wednesday at SST park off of 200th. The race series that is out there every week is going to have some of the “important officials” attending.
The best thing would be to show up in large numbers, be respectful, and hopefully make a good impact on the powers that be.
It would be great to have the streets lined with cars and tons of bikes and people everywhere!
