Colonnade Mountain Bike Park Grand Opening - Sat, Sep. 13th
The official Grand Opening of Seattle’s most raddest bike park is upon us. Saturday, Sep. 13th is sure to be a great turnout under the freeway with raffles, vendors, etc. I’m mostly looking forward to throwing a few tail whips, hucking some drops with all the other kiddies enjoying themselves on their burly bikes, and grubbin’ some BBQ.
Here’s your sneak preview at the park map I’ve been working on for the past year. This has involved many photos of the park, lots of sketches and revisions and plenty of riding “research” in order to capture the spirit of the park (hard work, I know). The hand-drawn line art is finally complete and scanned, and we are now adding digital color late into the night for the next 9 days. If everything goes according to plan, this will be finished and installed in the form of a large sign, in time for the grand opening. We’ll see about that…
This is also your sneak peak at the park itself, if you are not familiar with it. These little scenes shows the dirt jumps and drops area - there is also plenty of awesome terrain for beginners and other types of riders. This park is a great asset to our community, and I can’t thank Evergreen (formerly BBTC) and everyone else involved enough!
