Gateway Freeride Still Growing
|
Nearly two years after the initial conception of a "Freeride" group/club we have grown into a diverse group of riders
who put no restrictions on how you like to ride, or what you are into. We are the most diverse group of riders in the
area in regards to different riding style/perferances and I truly think that is what has and will continue to set us apart.
We are hovering just below the century mark on the forum for members. While with any forum, not every single user
is 100% active, many are and at a large portion at least check the board regularly. We started as literally a hand full of
riders who just wanted a place to congregate online to discuss our riding interests free of ridicule and organize group
rides/sessions. We have now grown into what you see.
Our presence is felt strongly at the local BMX jump park as well as on most of the local MTB trails. We are active in
building both at the jump park and on the current local multi-use trails. We are also in the midst of designing and
proposing and hopefully soon building the area's first one-way downhill dedicated trail in St. Charles County. This
particular endeavor has been more than a year in the making. We are approaching this very slowly and cautiously to
ensure it is a huge success for our interests, most certainly for the park and of course for our sport.
Stay tuned and feel free to join in to be part of this up and coming scene.
