FWIW another vote for "likes wooden stunts". Rode Expresso on Sat. It was brilliant. I guess I come from the era of riders who consider chundered out steeps with holes, roots, and rocks, a viable line choice. I know this stuff is considered an unrideable buzz-kill for some - but that's the point. You know there's a line through it - you rise to the challenge.
Could the coming renovations leave the wood intact and simply buff the b-lines? Fallen timber becoming part of the trail - that's fucking COOL! Since when did incorporating a big bad-ass fallen cedar go out of fashion.
Reality dictates we have associations, committees and the like to petition the powers that be - service the people who need to feel important. It's a political world beyond the forest… However these amazing trails were conceived of one or two guys' passion for building and riding. Being in the forest. We need to stay connected to the dirt, roots, cedar and rocks. Trail by committee on one end of the scale and trails by Shaloamer on the other. Balance is what some of us are concerned about loosing. Please keep wicked trails wicked!
edit.
BTW I appreciate the association and the hardworking members. Just adding my 2 cents to the trail debate.
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Did you ride the down ramp off the big fallen log? I guess it was dry Saturday so not too bad, but in the wet that off camber death trap is a problem. What about the other stunts? The so-called double shot with the broken down ramp? It seems strange to me that nobody has done any work on those moves when so many of you seem to like the trail with stunts. The Double Shot has been broken for a very long time. More than a year I'd say, despite a builder having a permit to work on it last year.
Maybe you don't like it that much? ;)
Have any of you walked the trail with a Sharpie lately btw?
