Building Trails, Building Futures in Central Oregon

Hello from all of us at BlackSage Dirt Works! We're buzzing with excitement to share a bit of our world with you. In the heart of Bend, Oregon, we're not just shaping dirt; we're shaping futures. Our latest labor of love? Sprucing up "The Lair" and, more importantly, investing in the next generation of riders and trail builders right here in Central Oregon.

Passing the Torch with Kyle Jameson

Kyle Jameson, our fearless leader and a name many in the mountain biking scene revere, is at the forefront of this mission.
