UROC has been busy developing a blue square experience that will take riders of all abilities down the mountain with the biggest stoke smiles and rad stories to share over some drinks back in Cumberland, British Columbia, I'll be guiding you through this blue square experience developed by the United Riders of Cumberland and local Professional Riders like Mark Matthews.

After climbing the Soho No Michi Climb and Above & Beyond trail we'll be starting at the top will be the Blueprint line designed and built by Mark Matthews, Chris Snodgrass, James Walter, Scott Bell, Jarrett Lindal, Arne Newman. These guys we given funding from Shimano and worked closely with UROC to ensure this trail would be the ideal kickoff to the blue square experience. It's an unreal handbuilt flow trail at the top of the Above and Beyond climb trail. You'll earn your turns but it will be worth it. below is a link to some videos that really capture the trail build and will give you an appreciation for the inspiration that went into this phenomenal blue trail.

Next will be the Hunky Dory and New Vanilla Trails which continue the flow and stoke from Blueprint, allowing intermediates to clear some tables and rail tight berms.
Moving to Funky Vanilla will bring you to the base of the Vanilla Climb which is where this video will end since I wanted to include the full POV of each trail to allow anyone looking to experience these trails to experience it through the perspective of an intermediate rider.
Below are some videos I filmed with UROC highlighting the opening of these trails and their intent on the blue square experience. Support them if you're local or if you're visiting, they are incredible at what they do.
