Quite frankly, this is part of the reason 331 exists! To save Vulture's Knob, the very trails we grew up racing on! We aim to continue our efforts to develop this 125 acre bike park with additional free-ride trails, downhill runs, and a jump park. We can't image anything else ever existing on this land.
