A couple months ago I traveled to Terra Haute IN to check out Griffin Bike Park. I quickly realized they didn’t just build a world class bike facitility, they built a bike community.
I had a great time riding with the locals, seasoning the skills area and passing on some tips to the locals but I wanted to hear the story behind why it’s named Griffin Bike Park and who was Dale Griffin So I was lucky to hear it from his parents Gene and Donna Griffin
Check out the park here:

Who’s ridden Griffin Bike Park? It’s awesome!
Mr Jeff Trail BossMan!! Thanks for hittin' GBP man!! We REALLY hope you'll stop thru again next year! I was the guy at the end of the "selfie session" that had a friend take a pic of us fist bumpin' and knuck bustin' at your van. I live 1/2 way between GBP and KickaPoo State Park and ride both as frequent as possible. Both about 40 mins away. Cant wait to post up some of my better Han Solo night rides at Griffin. Really an experience out there deep into the place at night. Thanks again for blessing us with a ride along,..Peace and stay VERT and don't get shredded!!
I have, and do. I try to go a couple times a week, I'm lucky to live just 10 minutes away!
I live two hours away, I've been there 3 times now and they always have something new every time I go! The black diamond trails like Zulu and KA Bar are more challenging than you'd think for the midwest!
It was so much fun having you come out and ride with us! Thanks for letting everyone know about our park and the story behind it.
Very Cool, Thanks for the history lesson about the trail🤘🏽👍🏽🤙🏽!!! Being a Army Combat Veteran, things like this are awesome and very much appreciated and should be done more🤙🏽😊🤘🏽😊👍🏽🇺🇸!! Ohh and the trail looks awesome
Awesome Video Jeff! Thanks for taking the time to come ride with us and for all the time you put into the video! I know it takes a ton of work to edit these things. It means a lot to us. We can't wait for you to come out again.
Respect! ✊
That place looks really cool! Nice video and thanks for including the info on how it got its name.
Thanks for checking it out
Very nice park. Mr Griffin is smiling I'm sure. Great job once again Lenosky ✋🇺🇸
Rode Griffin yesterday. Much Fun! I tripped over it accidently. Terre Haute was just a random stop on my way to Bentonville. Checked MtbProj only after I booked my campground. I extended my stay another week, after my first ride in the park. Their webpage is pitiful, that's the only reason it's not crowded.
Well done Jeff 👍 you are a great Ambassador for the sport & gentleman, a happy end to the story of the Griffin Bike Park 🙂
I meant to comment when I first saw this but it brought out all the feels !
awwww thanks Lucy, wait till tomorrows video! Lol
Great story about this park, Jeff. It sounds like they worked very hard to make this park something very special to the area and the people that use it. That water crossing was unlike any I've seen. Great find and thanks for sharing
Love that place. The beginner trail is no joke for a beginner trail.
This made me tear up a little bit. Great story, great trails and great people.
Yes they truly are I met Gene Griffin and two of his sons, many many years ago on the trail at Kickapoo State Park in Vermilion County and gave him a tube. Didn't know who he was then except for a mountain biker that really needed a tube to get out of the woods LOL. And He remembered me many many years later and has been one of the nicest gentleman in the mountain biking scene that I've ever met. His late son Dale enjoyed the place so greatly that it tickles me every time I go out and ride and think about the sacrifice that he made for his Country and just how awesome it is that Vigo County gave the Griffin family the creative license to build the place.
Imagine Sgt. Dale would be very happy with how it turned out.
I'm sure he would!!
@ 4:25 is my biggest problem...
I don't know how to manual so every time a drop comes I have to bunnyhop it....which makes the drop a lot higher and me nervous 😟
Great story..
it really is!
are there any asphalt bike path?
that looked legit fun dude..thanks
I'm gonna have to check it out when I'm back in Indy in May!
Jeff you're an icon for the sport!
Looks like a fun place to ride.
I met a few of the guys from Griffin at windrock this year, some super nice guys and maybe I'll get out there one day!
Man can’t wait I’ve ridden some great trails in Indiana and look forward to hitting this one as well in my travels
Definitely check it out!
Fun riding with you that day
Excellent video
Thank you Morgan
Finally getting some publicity! Place is awesome and has a great group of people running it.
Griffin Bike Park Is such a GREAT place to ride!!! Thank You Jeff sharing the reason and meaning behind the creation of the park.
The Griffin family , the Moore family and all the volunteers have truly made it a terrific place to ride.
it is a great place, I can't wait to get back.
I'd be interested to know how many MTB parks have opened up in the past few years and how fast their popularity has grown thanks to UA-cam content providers such as yourself. I'm new to the sport as of April and I've spent an obscene amount of time watching MTB videos. Especially ones like this where folks with channels go out to these places and show what they are all about to people who aren't local.
Previously when I thought "Mountain Biking", I thought Colorado and California. Through UA-cam, I've learned of and have traveled to places I've seen here. Indiana? Upper Peninsula Michigan? NW Arkansas? Never would have thought about it. Keep up the travels. I want to know where all the good places are :)
Thanks for watching! I'll keep posting new spots so be sure to check back!
