With help from volunteer trail workers, support from the staff at the City of Northfield’s Streets & Parks Department, and power from our lovable Ford tractor (still on loan from CROCT member Bill Nelson,) our Sechler Skills Park grew quite a bit last year. It now has its own page here on the CROCT website, listed under the Trails dropdown menu. Scenes from the 2017 season:

The list of features (photo album below) will grow again in 2018 but currently includes:

• 3 berms (1 large wood berm, 2 dirt berms)
• 7 tabletop jumps (6 beginner-level, 1 intermediate-level)
• 2 wood drops (1 beginner-level, 1 intermediate-level)
