The Story of Windrock Bike Park 8

Trail Guide
HECK YES! For nearly 2 decades, downhillers have been shredding and trying to survive the trails of Windrock in Tennessee. Now, with the help of Sean Leader and Neko Mulally, the parks has been expanded to a whole new level of radness.

Where's this on the West Coast? I've got an idea that I'll work on this weekend. Anyone else? Back in the day We were working with/sponsored by Adidas Eyeware who were looking for a similar location in California. But they would only consider spots with existing chair lifts and we couldn't find one available. We all love to shuttle DH days, But no uplift downhill?

In Oliver Springs, TN a super fast 30 minute drive out of downtown Knoxville. Windrock Park is a massive mining operation owned by Coal Creek Mining Co. with gas wells, etc but they are open 24/7 year round for off road, ATV, Overland, rock crawling comps, hill climbs, dune buggies...you name it. Just so happens that the dead center front section is the DH PARK with 2000 feet of elevation drop that dumps out right into the main parking lots. Self shuttle weekdays to 1000 feet drop off on pavement, gravel to the 2nd drop off up top or use the bike parks shuttle vehicles on weekends. Tons of raw, burly DH not shown in the video.

Thanks, but I meant why isn't this happening on the West Coast? It just occurred to me that it is going on at Coast Gravity Park, but that's in BC. Why isn't this happening here in Cali.?

Do you have any massive mining operations that just happen to have a 2000 foot elevation drop that's open to bikes with food, camping and parking at the bottom?
