The dirtbike course at the 亚洲天堂 Lake Snowmobile Club鈥檚 site is open for riders to jump and fly through the air.
It consists of a series of tracks, jumps and hills and officially opened in August.
鈥淩icky Wainwright from Industrial Transformers and Riley Jubinville were involved in building the jump ramp,鈥 as Jason Jubinville, Owner of P&B Feeds, and Riley鈥檚 father told Lakes District 亚洲天堂.
Jason has been a supporter of the project and helped out with its construction.
鈥淭hey needed a place to set this up so the snowmobile club invited them up. So far it鈥檚 a small group [of riders]. It鈥檚 an extreme thing so there鈥檚 a limited number of visitors. Some of the kids here are really good at dirt biking,鈥 he said.
Local businesses and members of the 亚洲天堂 Lake community helped build the track.
鈥淚ndustrial Transformers brought up an excavator and a cat to build the stuff there and move the dirt. Tahtsa Timber used their low bed truck to move the equipment in. And then there was general public contributions of fuel to help out with the work,鈥 Jason said.
Lakes District Maintenance also donated several large loads of dirt.
But local riders are thinking beyond the dirt bike course and the ongoing work at the site is part of a larger project to build a motorcross track there.
Tyson Garrett, who has been the main pusher behind the course said he thinks the motorcross track should be ready by next year.
鈥淥ur hopes are to have a proper motorcross track and be able to hold scheduled races. And it鈥檚 something for the public to get into, and hopefully have lots of younger kids get into motorcross. I don鈥檛 know the exact dimensions but once we get the main part of the track done we are planning on expanding,鈥 he explained.
The course is open at any time for riders with Snowmobile Club memberships, which can be purchased through the club鈥檚 website at .
Many riders hit the course everyday around 6 p.m. As it can be a rough activity, dirtbikers ride at their own risk.
