A couple dozen kids recently christened Colorado’s newest mountain bike skills park, offering delighted whoops as they maneuvered over the rollers and kickers and then raced back up the return trail to do it all again.
En route, they offered to-the-point reviews of the Cañon City park :
“It’s awesome,” said 15-year-old Bryce McDowell of Pueblo after he cleared the largest jump.
“It’s cool,” said 9-year-old Maya Lenard, who noted she liked the rollers the best.
