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.

Cincinnati is getting a new bike skills park, the first of its kind in the city.
Representatives from Cincinnati Off Road Alliance (CORA) and Cincinnati Parks have been working hard to bring this new trail, targeting avid mountain bikers, to Mount Airy.
The planned biking trail will be be beginner-friendly, youth-friendly and will have adaptive options for those who do not ride a traditional two-wheel bike.
CORA, a non-profit, full of volunteers dedicated to mountain-biking and maintaining trails across the city. It s one thing to build a trail but you gotta keep the trails, drainage and things like that maintained. There s a lot of volunteer hours that go into that, said Liv Birkenhauer, President of CORA.
