Lumberyard Nails Down Top Bike Park Designer

Portland, Oregon (November 21, 2011) -- Lumberyard MTB has expanded its team with a new professional course designer. The young brand has tapped the expertise of Joe Prisel of fineGRAIN to lead the design of its parks.

Joe had
left Trek/Ray's MTB in late summer to relocate to Portland and focus on
building fineGRAIN - a bike park design/build consultancy. Joe is the
most accomplished indoor bike park designer/builder in North
America. His resume includes both of the Rays MTB locations, Flow Bike
& Skate, work on both Woodward Camps, and the 2000-2003 X-Games
courses.

"I'm
stoked that we found such a great design partner. The timing couldn't
have been better" says Will Heiberg, Lumberyard Founder. "In addition to
leading the design work and coordinating the input from pro riders who
are getting involved in specific features, Joe also brings a fresh
perspective to the selection of ournext location.

The
Lumberyard has positioned itself to be the premier indoor bike park
company in the Pacific Northwest. With the initial location underway in
Portland, Oregon, the Lumberyard will deliver year-round riding
opportunities to fulfill a latent need for recreational cyclists of all
types, ages and abilities. The Lumberyard delivers more than simply a
