Dave Swetland Memorial Trail

No new injuries surfaced from yesterday’s crash, hip and pec are still a bit bruised but I was good to go for some more Christina Lake goodness. My girls were kind enough to give me another shuttle up to the Dave Swetland Memorial Trail. This is what Trailforks says about the trail: “This trail was built as a tribute to Dave "Sweaty" Swetland a pioneer of freeride mountain biking who grew up on his family's land nearby.

Sweaty inspired the first generation of Christina Lake locals to pursue the more fringe aspects of mountain biking. These riders were then instrumental in the development of Wheelchair Access and Boris. You can see Sweaty's antics in the first three Kranked films and also the recently released "Moment" documentary.

 

It was a beautiful mellow black line with amazing views and some cool skinnies. Sadly, the 360 berm was a bit damaged ¾ of the way down.
