Here are some pictures from the crew working on Knightslayer this past weekend. Looks like a nice trail!

The trails I have seen on Burke Mountain are really great. FWIW in all my years the lower mountain at Burke has never looked as good as it does now. Grass is mowed, things are clean, and there are signs of activity.

got to see the trail in action last year, looks REALLY sweet and flowy, although some of the hits on it are too big for me.. looks like a blast though!

Oh, and FYI... Trout River Brewery (just down the road) has a brew called Knightslayer too. It's mighty tasty!

VITALMTB.com is cool, they have some good stuff there. And that video was no exception. Some of those jumps were definitely on the big side for me too... I liked the looks of the bermed pump tracky looking sections though.

This is at Burke?

I'm kind of a wuss for some of those larger jumps. Been way to long since I've really been into it, here's a cool vid I found when googling it:

Yep that is the Lower Mtn at Burke. This is where the "lift served" MTB is located.There are trails off of the summit but you have to drive, shuttle bus or ride your bike up. It will be interesting to see if they expand lift served to the upper mtn with the new HSQ.
