Jon Steinbis riding Duthie. Unfortunately they are out there because someone is an ass. The place is about giving not taking. The g.h.y. crew should be out there soon making our line a little longer!
We need to hook up a night ride with all kinds of riders. We used to do this all the time…stair gap anyone? Well if this does not inspire a few night time skids then your lame.
The celebration of 1 year for Duthie MTB Park was a success. Evergreen threw a great party with a beer garden, taco truck, and tons of demo bikes. Transition had a good amount of bikes and a high wheeler for the daring. We brought out a ton of Norco bikes and sold some of our new Go Huck Yourself gear too! People sessioned the step up and all the trails were buzzing with riders. Lets hope for many more years of fun!
By size alone these two guys are huge! I am in the middle and standing at 6’2″ (A.J. Johnson). Phil Sundbaum (now working at the shop) and Kelly McGarry (stopping by to say whats up). Kelly got his bike dialed in for the road trip with Phil and the contest down at Goldmans UDUG 2011. In a couple weeks they should be back and might have a good session out at Duthie and local parks. Stay Tuned!
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.
This race is an individual TT that takes you through the legendary local cross country trails that twist and turn like no other! The 5.8mi loop has it all, downhill sections, uphill climbs, rocks, roots and lots of logs to maneuver over.

It was an awesome day of sun in January. It was still a little slow through the berm before the jump. But a few good tries and everyone had cleared it at least once!
We had a pretty good crew show up on 12-5-10 @ Softies. A couple of youngins keeping dirt jumping alive in the NW. We need more kids building jumps in the woods!
Sunday the crew met up at Softies for a little DJ action. I was there earlier in the week and was super stoked that Patrick has been throwing some dirt keeping the dream alive. Softies Jam in the future? Looks like all signs point to yes!
Headed out to Duthie Hill MTB Park in Issaquah earlier than usual…around 10 a.m. Hey thats early for us…but anyway. Travis and I (A.J.) showed up to see the pump track gettin worked on. We threw a few shovel fulls and then decided it was time to ride. Had a pretty good session with tons of good people out there! Damon showed up later to join the mix. We had Bee, Cow, Kat, and then a few more animals too. Lucas flying high along with new comers Craig and Shawn (Girl). Heres some pretty pictures.
