Trail Philosophy...
Times are a changin' when it comes to modern trail construction practices. what was once a steep off camber rake and ride section littered with ruts, roots ect. is now a wide bench cut devoid of any features resembling natural terrain.
While these types of trails have their place, especially when it comes to the construction of high quality flowing jump lines, the demand for that classic hand cut, steep and gnarly downhill experience is growing. That's where our roots lie. Enter The Mulberry Mountain Downhill Project.

Handcut Trail #1
05
What Has Been Completed:
Currently We have 2 Downhill Tracks Complete to the 400ft elevation mark.
​
Funding for new trails will be to complete a blue tech trail to 420ft elevation, followed by extending all 3 of these tracks to utilize the entirety of the mountains 600ft elevation change. This would total 3 tracks each with varying ride feels with 600ft of elevation each.
Handcut Trail #2
Current Progress Map:
Proposed Additions Map by end of 2024:
Proposed Additions Explained (In Orange):
Funding for these proposed additions would go towards (In order)
1. completing a blue handcut tech trail to the UTV Road (rightmost orange line)
2. Extending trail 1 to the bottom of the property
3. Extending trail 2 to the bottom of the property
4. Extending Trail 3 to the bottom of the property.
5. Utilizing Mini excavator for 2 weeks to add jumps, drops, and reinforce drainage.
These additions would add a third trail that is easier to ride for less experienced downhill riders, and provide a warm up run for more experienced riders. Extending the 3 trails to the bottom of the property would in effect increase the length of the trails by 50%.
