Gnomes are watching you dab.
Nothing is more inspiring than seeing something that is both cool and obtainable. “Cool” and “obtainable” certainly describe Gnomewood, a beginner skills practice area.
The focus of Gnomewood is really an entire family with children, not just adults. Parents can bring little ones and either help them learn skills, set back and watch or join the rug rats on a tour of loops. While it’s easy to focus on the cutesy gnome decoration that gives the skills area its name, don’t lose sight of the fact that all of the typical on-trail features are available and sized for everything from 12” to 29” wheels. Here is great overview video:
If you want to learn more about Gnomewood, including an overview of the layout and closeups of features and associate infrastructure, COMBO has a great page with tons of neat pictures.
Could you or your bike club build your version of Gnomewood? |
