Invasive Species

Banshee Grassroots rider, Ollie Jones has been working on a new trail project up in Whistler, BC…

For the few weeks prior to this build I couldn’t stop thinking about building some bike related treats. Every season I like to at least build a feature or two, or even fix up old trails and maintain existing ones.

Last seasons project was a trail called God Thrilla and the final result turned out really good, check out the video.

With another full season ahead I figured its time to go bigger and better!

My new trail project ‘Invasive Species’ with have all types of goodness to ride. Big Features, technical sections, flow and loam. There is still plenty of work to do but its coming along at a good pace.

Its definitely a challenge and really tough work building a trail, but the rewards are incredible. I hit one of the features for the first time the other day and knowing that what I had in my head actually worked is the best feeling ever. I cant wait until the whole trail is finished so I can dial those lines in.

See you on the trails!
