I rode this trail last weekend. Just visiting from Pittsburgh I had no idea
about the controversy. Here's my unbiased take…
Dale's was fun. I was grinning ear at the bottom. Then we hiked up to ride it
again. With that said, I actually posted a video of it to facebook with a
caption saying that it was the least awesome trail we rode. But all of the
trails were world class and awesome, some just less awesome than others.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of super wide bike park flow trails. Yet I also
like that they exist. In a perfect trail system, this flow trail would extend
the entire length of the mountain. And It would be surrounded by other type of
single track.
Variety is key. It would truly suck if every trail looked like this or if many
trails were converted to flow trails. But we should welcome the building of a
full length flow trail as just one component of a complete trail system.
