Oleson park had a base of old trails. We cleaned them up and also added many new sections of trail all through the park. We changed trails in some areas to help with erosion control. So from Joker Racing Iowa we did build many new trail loops in oleson park to trail building standards not just what we want and also improved the existing trails. We work directly with Fort Dodge Parks and Recreation Dept. to plan any new trail work projects!. Matt B Joker Racing Iowa

The trail is a lot of fun. I do not know the whols story between The Bike Shop and whoever else. To the people who built the trails you did a good job. Anybody reading this should go and ride the Olsen Park trail. I recommend the trail to everybody.

these are great trails, we have road on them since i can rember, the local kids around the park have been workin to improve them and establish new trails for a few years. now that they are established some race teams have moved in and calaimed them, mainly team joker of the fort dodge bike shop, they truned it into advertizment for there shop. I suggesst the trails to all for a good afternoon of riding also check out the local Cory Trails, located south of town about 1 mile east of Olsen.

The Bike Shop did not have much to do with the trails. If it was not for a friend and I the trails would not be there and people would not be racing. I am sick of the bike shop takeing credit for are work. They all think they can ride but when two teenagers tear them up they ger all pissey with us because team joker are a bounch of babys.
