A note from the builder...




The Ranchstyle build this year has been crazy. Me and my Flow Farmers build something, move on, then I walk by it a couple days later and change it twice. Haha, what can I say i'm a perfectionist! I'm really stoked on the course this year and the hype surrounding the event. Did a ton of work on the Slalom course too this year with a new jump section at the top. And were stretching it down to the bottom on the venue! That should add another 6 seconds to the already killer course. The Slopestyle course is pretty amazing this year. I think it's gonna blow some minds, it blows mine everytime I walk up it. What a lot of poeple don't understand is how this line has evolved over the last 5 years. Who would of thought it would turn into a stop on a world tour, pretty crazy! And thats what Ranchstyle is all about, evolution and ripping up some stuff with the hommies! I wish everyone safe travels getting here and safe sessions! See you all soon!

Simcik Update

As many of you know, I spend a lot of time putting together webedits. The tough part of that is when the session gets going hard, I want to ride and hate to ask someone else to film, the result? A lot of the banger tricks and shots don't get taken. Bring in Shelby Smith. Shelby is a local rider and high school student who kills it on the bike and has a true talent with the camera. He came out to our local jumps and put together an awesome edit.

Below is the edit Shelby put together. We spent a few hours digging and tuning up the lines and then of course shredding. Shelby and I were out fairly early in the morning, with our water source frozen over, snow and ice still on the jumps, and we were both seeing our breath in the air. The sun finally came out, the jumps melted a bit and the rest of the crew started to trickle in. A bunch of locals showed up to dig and ride including World Cup racer Joey Schusler. The local scene at these jumps is definitely growing. We will be filming a lot more out there and will have a video tour of the park once its complete in the spring.
