This year we would like to add a skills area to the trail head at Mountain Laurel Trails. This would be located in the flat area to he left as you enter the trails just past the kiosk.
One of the objectives of a skills area is to offer a training ground for riders to improve their skills so that they can better enjoy single-track trails.
A mountain bike skills area is an essential feature for any bike park as it allows riders to practice balance and maneuvers that instill the muscle memory and mental preparedness necessary to overcome natural obstacles that will be encountered on a mountain bike trail.
Mountain Laurel Trails currently has a mix of easy through very-difficult features that require varying degrees of bike handling skills and balance. The skills area will help with all level of riders to better their riding techniques making heir experience more desirable.
Examples of skills areas and discussions can be found on our facebook page her: https://www.facebook.com/pg/mountainlaureltrails/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2225922390798044
