THRASHIN’ & CRASHIN’ at the Paradise Playground grand opening - Monarch Singletrack - Victoria, MN

THE WAIT IS OVER!!! Sam (‪@ElTerrible2011‬ ) and I hit up the Paradise Playground on the grand opening within the Monarch mountain bike trails and what a great time. Matt (‪@ridindirt‬ ) gave us the low-down on each trail and graciously towed us in for our first few runs to get us going. We were blown away with how well planned and properly sized each run/ obstacles were. No sprinting just to clear anything. It all flows just as it should. The crash at the end was entirely my fault. I was already pretty tired from riding and probably overconfident which lead to me going way too fast and overjumping one of the last jumps.

Huge shoutout to the OTM foundation and Pathfinder Trail Building for getting something built that the cities desperately needed and flawless execution.
