it sounds like the biking is still great on the north shore its all the rest of living in greater Vangroovy that has driven people to leave
The north shore might be where it all started but when people left over the years they brought mtn biking with them to where ever they moved OR people visited the shore and copied what you all were doing
north shore riding is good but best on the planet?? it's not even the best in BC… or maybe you are being sarcastic?
At least Free Tibet stickers went out of style a few years ago, nothing worse than seeing those on the back of a $50k luxury car
Free Tibet! With purchase of another Tibet of equal or greater value….
I guess everyone is moving away, not a soul on the no Quarter climb yesterday aft. One rider spotted on Oil can/ penzoil decent.
People always ask me what's the phenomenon

not being sarcastic… just my experience. Your enjoyment of trails maybe different than mine. Can't think of any other place for easier access as well… paved roads for two mountains.

It's now the waiting game. Who can outlast the others to ride "The Shore" in peace and harmony when everyone else has fled to greener pastures?
Regarding access to PR - Float, fly or fuck your way in-n-outta there. As the Lower Coast gets busier PR gets less accessible for weekenders.

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

How insightful. Too bad it's completely wrong.
Who cares where is the best. You're out on your bike, and it doesn't get much better than that.

which part?
did people not bring their mtn bikes when they left north van?
Are people not leaving Vancover becuz it is percieved as unlivable?
jerry said it was better on the NS I didn't say anything was better
I said mtn biking was everywhere, I said there was a style of mtn biking
(which may or may not have changed?)that people copied from what they
rode on the NS
actualy riders didn't even need to visit [HTML_REMOVED] ride the shore, they could
just go to the LBS, buy one of them videos of Wade being a
lawndart … go break some bones
I'm sitting at a bar you are probably at work
we r not on bikes we r looking at screens

Not to derail the thread but I would tend to agree that the overall experience is the best you can get anywhere, probably in the world.
Where else do you have 3 distinctly different mountains all within a 20 minute drive, as well as places like Squamish, whistler valley and park, as well as pemby within 2 hours to the north, and SFU, eagle, Burke, wood lot, Ledgeview, bear, red, sumas, and vedder all [HTML_REMOVED]2 hrs east? Don't forget about the island, SSCand Bellingham for that matter.
I can't think of anywhere else on the planet where there are so many world class riding locations all crammed into a 300km radius.
So yeah, it's pretty good.
Not gona argue whats best because apparently one shouldn't care as long as they are out on their bike
but not too many kids here anymore (on NSMB) and it sounds like the quality of life has trumped good mtn biking and people are leaving ?

I'm out biking. Nice, sunny day at the junction here in "Vangrooovy".

Lets set the bar high - all who aren't 2nd or 3rd generation are now automatically "new a-holes who are ruining everything".

I'm riding my bike … up a climbing wall … on a bar patio … that I skied to … after BASE-jumping off a vertical cliff face … that I ice-climbed

Albeit 'twas a lil chilly if you weren't in the sun with the wind right now.

Damn, you're like the Point Break Remake!
Had one person pass me on a climb this afternoon. Saw a dog walker at the very end.

Definitely chilly, but much better now that the monsoon season is over.

Sooke isn't bad, but I'm going back to Comox or Campbell River when I'm at the point to collect my pension. Real estate isn't cheap, but it's better than the mainland and Alberta. Riding is incredible, and it's nowhere near as busy as the south Island.
Being cheap is OK. Being a clueless sanctimonious condescending douchebag is just Vlad's MO.
