They're not doing much to Bankers hall because they like the flow of it. The only chances will be as you enter the run, there will be a trail that swings down along the bank for beginners and low intermediate riders. They will improve the flow and it sounds like it will be great. |

I was out at COP to check out the new trails. Wow. I also talked to the guys from Whistler who are building them. We talked about trying to find volunteers to come out and help and the nagative responce. People feel they pay to use the hill so they shouldn't have to volunteer to build and maintain it. Well thats true enough, however, in order to have the types of runs the COP riders expect it takes skill and manpower. Oh did I mention Calgary has neither of those two. Many great things were built by the hard work and dedication of volunteers. BMX tracks were built up by its volunteer riders who still had to pay to use the track. To do the rebuild it takes money, some of that money comes from season passes. As of Sunday 27, COP still hasn't even sold a thousand passes. Seems to me there are alot of riders out there who want everything from the sport but give little back to it. Even the pro riders grab a shovel when needed. I never hear them whine about it. Remember this is not Whistler its a small local hill in the city.If we all help out to build it up now, with any luck we can atract the skilled people we need and keep COP a great place to ride. |
