Consider a donation to the trails- bit.ly/HawesTrails
Boulderdash officially opens today, March 10th, 2023. Huge thanks to the Hawes Trail Alliance and all of the volunteers for putting in the back-breaking work to bring this instant classic to life. It seems like every time I visit Hawes, there is something new to ride, and the effort does not go unnoticed. We are very fortunate to have progressive trails of this caliber built for the public to enjoy. I will urge everyone to consider a donation to the trails. If you don't have the funds, no worries, donate some time. Dig days happen constantly and this momentum directly translates to more trails and more fun for everyone.
Some stats to offer some perspective into what this sort of effort entails.
Boulderdash took roughly 1,800 man hours to build. 54 dig days, over the course of 14 months. Countless hours of thought, planning, flagging the corridor and working with land managers to bring this new beast to life. All to create approximately 1 mile of tech trail from scratch. The result is one of the most engaging, feature filled sections of trail anywhere. Kudos to Jason and Doug for making it happen.
Alex and I filmed this about 10 days ago as a trail preview for the official opening day to increase awareness and hopefully get some funds raised that will go directly into more trails for everyone to enjoy. All of the proceeds generated by the ad revenue from this video will be donated to the trails.

Nate and Alex, Thank for highlighting this trail for us. We all worked extremely hard on this trail, that was literally back breaking at points. I Filmed a full top to bottom run yesterday with Doug, but it never seams to come out as well as yours do. Great riding and thank again for enjoying our trails. This is now my new favorite trail around.

From someone who visits AZ frequently but is a non-resident, thank you for all of y’all’s hard work. Sunset is still one of my all time favs. Excited to get back out for a rip on this. Cheers 🤘🏼

Thanks so much for putting in the work. Moving 1000 lb boulders all day is never great for the knees or the back, lol. I hope people appreciate the effort. Boulderdash is amazing, cheers to you lads!

Boulder Dash looks like a blast, I know Alex had a hand in building that. I mostly appreciate some of the old-school Hawes trails getting some love. I live nearby and have ridden those trails for 15 years. Of late my back issues are keeping me from doing any riding. You know fusion surgery and shit. Thanks for showing us the good stuff.
