Out here in the desert, everyone is working hard. Despite the scorching heat and dry dust, the riders and diggers relentlessly move dirt. The diggers are the unsung heroes of Formation, collaborating with the riders and making themselves ready to help in whatever ways they can by hauling water, packing jumps, and so much more, bringing wild lines and dream features into the realm of possibility.
All the diggers here have stories of their own. There are professional skiers, up-and-coming mountain bikers, friends of riders, and desert rats. Some bring insight from other sports, some bring can-do attitudes, and some bring extensive building experience. Some have names you probably know, and some are people you should probably watch over the next few years. All of the diggers contribute to the event in unique ways. I caught up with a handful of them to hear about their Formation experiences after the first two dig days.
