Empire of Dirt (http://empireofdirt.net) is a lift access mountain bike park at Magic Mountain Resort, Vermont. Charlottesville native Brian Overby started planning and buiding it last year. The park is expected to open this fall and will feature a challenging and diverse trail network of downhill oriented trails for intermediate levels and up.

Brian is a trail-building artist and Magic Mountain is his new canvas. His trails are smooth, flowing and the advanced stuff is very challenging. Brian also has an engineering degree from UVA, so these trails are well built and maintained. I'm looking forward to riding here! 

We built empireofdirt.net with all the above in mind. The design is more aggressive than our normal stuff to match the nature of downhill mountainbiking. Empire is still adding content to the site, so it's still a bit of a "work-in-progress" for now. We'll be adding various trail pictures and hopefully some video to really give the visitor a sense of what this park is about.
