Over the Edge Sports

Building Bike Trails
Quentin and DJ Morrissette own Over the Edge Sports, Hurricane's bike shop. Every Wednesday they work on building a new mountain bike trail across from Quail Lake and I took the kids out there last week. My 4 year old loved helping build the trail. My 2 year old complained and wanted to be held.
 If you are interested in helping build the new mountain bike trail, contact DJ or Quentin at Over the Edge Sports 435-635-5455 or find them on Facebook where they usually post their trail building plans. Please only work on the trail under their supervision!

My husband and I both bought our Ibis Mojos from Over the Edge Sports. The shop rents bikes too if you want to try one out or if you are from out of town.
