Will's Trails & Dialing Continues

Four of us made the 2 hours trip to Will's trails, just east of Buffalo, NY. Pretty amazing what this 16 year old kid has done in his back yard, mostly by himself. I didn't know anyone under the age of 20 or 25 for that matter, knew how shovels worked now a days. He has created a technically challenging backyard set up and fit more jumps and lines than I would have thought possible for the small lot. Mounted aboard his tan Deluxe, he ripped all day with his dialed riding and skills most riders 10 years older don't have. I will speak for everyone on the day trip and say we were impressed. Then Bob showed up late in the day and showed us all of the classic trails tricks dialed to perfection. I don't think I've seen Bob since '97 or '98 when the trails behind my parents where in there hay day. We reministed about his friend breaking his jaw first run thru the 10 pack and how that was the worst thing that ever happened at my trails. Plenty of other old school talk too about bike parts older then Will.



The last 2 weeks has seen some dialing at the trails get done. Cleveland guys made it out to help dial and ride in. Main Line's 3rd and 4th set are better then ever. Dinger has worked some magic learned from the Heathens on the 5th lip and it is ready to be sent. Brad has dialed the pump bump before the 5th set and the 5th landing has been squared up. I tackled the berm after the 6th set and it looks better then ever. Torential down pours have started up, so tarps are covering most of Main Line and a couple of other hits. Joe T. and new local Dan have been dialing in the bowl area and it is looking good. Pumped to see someone working on it and dialing it after the mass digging that was done 2 springs ago.


Check out the Heathen's jam video on their site to see the faded red shirt Farmboy Jordan / Crazy Legs doing what he does best. Meadville trails jam this Saturday with atleast 1 car load going. Get to the trails and see what's new. You might be surprised.
