From stand-up to singletrack: How a comedian built Georgia’s most entertaining bike park

Jarrod Harris is the co-founder of Jarrod's Place bike park in Summerville, Georgia. We'll be diving into what it takes to open a bike park, the challenges and rewards of building trails, and we'll talk about Trail Armor, an innovative product that was actually developed right there at Jarrod's Place. What's your background? How does someone end up starting a bike park? How did you learn to build trails? Were there any parks or trails that inspired you and your team when you were first starting out? Is owning and operating a bike park a good business? Trail Armor is a product that was developed at Jarrod's Place. What is it, and how does it work? Beyond Jarrod's Place, where is Trail Armor being used? Can you describe how the park is laid out? What are the most popular trails? What's the mix of riders you see at the park? Are you getting many locals, or do people travel from further away? Is there an off-season at the bike park? How much of your time goes into trail maintenance versus building new stuff? What would you do differently if you were to open another bike park today? What's next for the bike park?
