A RAW Diet
Follow Dexter Robson as he takes you through some of his local trails on Salt Spring Island. The island is home to a diverse community of artists, labourers, agricultural producers, and a subset of mountain bikers. The local mountain bike community is primarily cross-country oriented, and the trails demonstrate this physical riding style. The physicality involved in accessing the trails coupled with the inaccessibility of Salt Spring creates a unique environment free of other riders. A benefit of island life is a climate moderated by the ocean that leads to warmer temperatures. Salt Spring is also in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island, so expect the trails to be relatively dry.

What I see in this video is a rider who does not give a shit about tearing up our natural trails. Have some respect! You want to ride like that head to prevost, or hammer fest. This is the kind of stuff that gives mtn bikers a bad name on Salt spring.

Free of other riders because the severely limited number of actual 'multi-use- bike-sanctioned' trails means most of us are riding 'illegally', and since more and more fences have been put up in favourite spots, the unsanctioned trails are also fewer or being made more dangerous by removal of bridges, etc by landowners.
