Hollywood MTB Flow Trail at Big Creek Freeride

This fundraiser is organized by RAMBO Southern Off Road Bicycle Association.

Tax deductible

Roswell-Alpharetta Mountain Bike Org. (RAMBO ), a Georgia 501(c)3 non-profit and licensed chapter of SORBA/IMBA, is seeking to raise funds for Hollywood (formerly Hawkeye 2). This all-new trail will be a 1/4 mile-long, jump and flow mountain bike trail to be built in the existing freeride bike park area at Big Creek Park, Roswell, Georgia.

Big Creek Park is home to seven miles of cross-country MTB trails and more than 10 Freeride/Expert MTB trails. All mountain bike trails at Big Creek Park are funded, built, and maintained 100% by RAMBO volunteers and its members for the greater benefit of the general public visiting the park. The park, owned and managed by the City of Roswell, is 100% free to all visitors. Big Creek Freeride Area celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, providing trails for tens of thousands of kids and adults to enjoy.

READY TO FUND

The Hollywood flow trail project is shovel-ready and approved by the land manager to begin construction, and we're grateful for their partnership.

THE BACKGROUND

In 2017, RAMBO self-funded a smaller version of this same type of trail, Hawkeye. Thanks to popular YouTubers such as SteadySpin, Brice Shirbach, and Caleb Jordan, Hawkeye has already drawn visiting riders from across the Southeast and the world, including professional downhill MTB racer, Bernard Kerr (seen in cover shot). Hollywood would further add to our wide variety of progressive mountain bike trails at Big Creek Park, continuing to attract riders to visit and live in Roswell, GA.

With the significant increase in ridership at Big Creek Park, in large part, by the Georgia Interscholastic Cycling League (middle and high school athletes) and local residents looking to get outdoors during COVID, the popularity of the park is the highest its been. An investment like Hollywood will benefit, not only the park, but the city at large through more local and regional visitors.

THE PLAN

The build plan for Hawkeye 2 includes bringing in professional builders from Innovative Dirt Solutions, who have built expert-level trails at large bike parks across the US, including our Hawkeye trail. The proposed 1/4 mile-long flow trail would include a wood technical trail feature to add to the difficulty and optional lines for rider progression. RAMBO volunteers will put in an estimated 500 man-hours of finishing work after the machine rough build is complete (equaling $8,000 in donated value).

FUNDRAISING

In order to bring some of the best trail builders to the park for several weeks, heavy machine rental, supplies (such as drain pipes and compactors), lumber, silt fence, and much more, the project requires significant funding. RAMBO is seeking grants and hosting the Big Creek Quick Six Enduro race to help fundraise a portion of the trail's expenses, but we will need the public's help to fill the gap.

100% of every dollar raised through this GoFundMe goes directly into the build of this trail. Your donations will yield an amazing return on investment for our biking community for years to come.
