Fischer is part of a passionate crew of local mountain bikers who have been revamping and improving the dirt jumps at Eaton Park, in Gunbarrel. (The riders simply call it "Gunbarrel.")

Though there have been jumps there for years, the digging gained speed in the fall. It all started with a web search by Kevin Rauhauser, a CU student who grew up in Boulder and learned to ride in Gunbarrel.
