It was the 1970s, nobody wore helmets then…
Now
FBO/CCP&R Agreement on the construction of the Park (pending)
FBO has hired IMBA Trail Solutions, with matching funding from IMBA Trail Building Fund to formulate a site plan and budget for phases of construction of the Park.
IMBA Trail Solutions Role at this point
IMBA TS will be taking all of our input.
They will generate a site plan (map) and budget.
The plan will be in phases so that we can seek funding to build in “bite-size” chunks.
FBO Role in the Park FBO is not an employer, land owner or building contractor.
FBO to find funding to hire contractors like IMBA Trail Solutions, Alpine Bike Parks, Gravity Logic to do the design and subcontracting necessary to build the Park according to the plan that IMBA Trail Solutions is creating.
FBO to hire contractors to “design and build” each phase of the Park.
Designs will need to be approved by County engineers.
Long term role may include the recruiting of volunteers for the County to do maintenance.
FUNDING!
We will need lots of money! (as much as $200,000-$500,000)
If you are willing to contribute smallish amounts, we will be putting up “Go Fund Me” type campaigns for the phases, stay tuned.
If you are willing to contribute larger amounts, we will have a structured means of recognizing individuals and businesses. (Signage, recognition on FBO’s web site, etc.) FBO is a 501 C3.
If you are aware of granting organizations or foundations, please connect us with them.
Please join FBO!

Site Description
Mild slope

Not really conducive to “downhill” style designs
BUT, plenty of options for some flow trails, dirt jumps, etc.
