Built with approval from Recreation Sites and Trails BC via the Section 57 application program

"We should build a jump trail" -heard in the OneUp HQ, Sept 2017 following a lunch ride devoid of jumps.

This trail was applied for and built by the team at OneUp Components, with help from many other community volunteers from 2018-2022

Using the pumptrack style of rollers rather than sharp lips and landing, the trail can be learned progressively. Riders have the option to roll everything on the main line, never leaving the ground. There are well-marked optional 'expert unlimited' gaps and drops on either side of the main flow of the trail.

***Enjoy and expect this trail to be temporarily closed (by a draw bridge at the start of the trail) during rain events of 20mm / 24h or more. It will remain closed for up to 48h after or when maintenance is required.
