Valmont Bike Park - Part 2 of 2

After the skills loop, we usually move over to the jumping hills and pump tracks.  Gavin tackles the small track, and Gage has successfully completed the Extra Small route.  They do a great job, but we often have a few spills going up and over the jumps.

Here is a picture of the pump track.  I (Brent) even joined Gavin to show him how it works because there is a tight pattern you have to follow on the track.  I have to say that my road biking skills are significantly better than my mountain biking skills.

Gavin actually crashed fairly hard toward the end of our time there.  Thankfully, he is smiling in this picture, but as you can see from the picture he had done a superman down the dirt track and scratched up his arms and knees fairly well.  He was also soaked in sweat (as evidenced by his hair) so we decided to call it a day.
