 Love the flow? Help us keep it that way! Whether you’re a seasoned shredder or a total newbie, the Dirt Crew need your hands (and your stoke) to keep our local trails in prime condition and clear the corridors for a faster, safer ride.
We’re hosting a Volunteer Orientation & Social to show you the ropes of trail maintenance. No experience? No problem. This orientation focuses specifically on the power tools of trail maintenance: weed trimmers and leaf blowers. If you love the smell of a 2-stroke and the satisfaction of a clean line, this one is for you. Plus, dinner is on us! We’re bringing in a Pizza Party to kickoff the start of the trail season.
