Last Years Freeride camps were a huge success and this year looks to be even better with additions like a foam pit, Trampoline, and newly constructed Kingdom Trails Freeride Lines.

December 11 Kingdom Trails held their annual employee/volunteer appreciation party. The Pizza was awesome, the beer was even better and executive director, Tim Tierny summed up the good vibe with an excellent speech.

The Holderness School Mtn bike team recently took advantage of our Indian summer with a weekend trip to Kingdom Trails. On Saturday their coach and fearless leader Tiaan Vanderlinde showed them all the goods on KT’s Darling Hill. Sunday started with a morning ride and following lunch the team met ideRide coach, Knight for a pumptrack session. After a few pointers and demonstration these guys were ripping it up like pros, pumping transitions for speed and even learning to manual the rollers. An hour of this and everyone was ready for something more extreme and so the session moved to the ideRide indoor park for some ramp riding. This talented and athletic group had no trouble picking up the basics and were flowing the park in no time.

Saturday August 15th Burke mtn. held their first annual Bike and Brew fest. ideRide ran shuttles on Kingdom Trails and put on some jump demos. Skye Nacel of Mocean 365 was professional and entertaining on the mike. The crowd was small but the tricks were big thanks to Rocco, Mike, D-rock, David and Sasha.
