The beginning of this month our camp held our annual Fat
Tire Festival, a big mountain biking competition over the long weekend. Events
include cross country races, downhill slolom, trials, jumps and a lake jump.
Some of these events I had no idea what they were before the weekend like
trials, it is an event with lots of small rails to ride your bike on and
platforms to jump to. It was really fun to watch every age group go on it; the
youngest ones to try were 3 years old! Next year if Liam wants to he can go in
some of the events just for fun and the experience. The event I enjoyed
watching the most was the bike jumping and the lake jump they had at the end of
the weekend with a BB-Q. The lake jump is something that doesn’t require a lot
of skill, you just need to put on a PFD and ride down the hill to the jump on
the end of the dock and try not to hit the bike when you hit the water. We had
some people who had never done it before enter in just for fun, it was fun to
watch and the kids enjoyed it to.
