STAR (Trail F): Rock Work Training for MTB Trails
Details
Are you interested in rock work for MTB trails?
This training is for you! All experience levels are welcome*
What will I be learning?
- Rock work tools
- Lifting
- Trundeling
- Hand/Finger Smashing
- Using Rock Sling to avoid trips
- Rock harvesting
- Trail armoring
- Building sustainable features for all riders
- and more!
Why: Trail F is ~3 miles of machine and hand build trail with tons of natural rock features. There are plenty of opportunities to make very cool, challenging rock tech sections and sections that need rock armoring to make the trail more sustainable.
When: Be ready to go by 8am. After a safety and tool talk we will walk to our worksite which is right near the parking area. We will end at 1145 with time to debrief and grab a cold drink.
