Definitely CBC.
Good DH Training Runs
CBC Neds is a great run because by the time your done CBC your fired up for neds. Of course I only ride those trails at night so I dont deal with the traffic.
Speaking of that I heard they run a night DH race outa port alberni.
anyone have the poop
Cypress isn't exactly a secret. That post is not going to increase traffic on already popular trails. Sorry.
If it were relatively unknown trails, I would not mention it.

let me ask you this then - you gonna come by and help me fix all the switchbacks that are cut in sex boy by dumbasses that lack the skill to get long wheel-base bikes around tight corners? I'm not talking about you - Ive seen you ride. Im talking about joe sixpack
Once I've finished reno'ing my house, taking care of my daughter, sleeping, eating, and riding my bike for 2 hours a week, sure I'll come out and block off switchbacks. Actually, that's for the dumbasses to repair.

I hear you but the dumbassess are too dumb to know that they've effed up. I thought you were moving to kamloops - I know a good realtor there.
True, true.
Yes we are moving to the land o' the Loopie. What's your realtor's name?

reasons why I like him
- son bikes so he knows all about finding places that are good for bikes
- not pushy at all
- takes time to get to know what you want and need
- knows the area insideout
- knows the native land-claims issues
- just a generally nice guy.
He also does Sun peaks too. I'm not crazy about the Sun Peaks remax office. They're a monopoly and they know it
cabin trail rocks for dh runs, too bad you have to push up.
time killer is porpose built for shuttles and big bikes.
still nothing like good ol' bear mtn.

Sorry Lee, but this just drives me nuts. You have a solid point about cutting corners damaging trails, and I agree with you and make a point of not doing it.
But, you are losing the credibility and respect when you go on the assumption that it's all "dumbasses that lack the skill to get long wheel-base bikes around tight corners".
Ditch the high and mighty skill argument, it just takes the wind out of your sails.
People who cut their own lines are going to do it, regardless of their bike being half an inch longer than Joe Blow's Big Hit, or an inch longer than your Hummer, etc.
It's the rider, and the rider's lack of common sense.
You start playing the "you suck, no skill" game and you piss people off and nobody listens. (they should…but the context is going to throw them off).
Just trying to help. I DO AGREE with you, I just think the whole "you can't follow a trail because you suck" approach does more harm than good.

OK… we'll play the self-centered i can ride wherever i want card.
it's exactly like the CBC poachers… there is no difference, these are the same people.
i honestly do not think that we can reach them, though i would like to hear suggestions.
Corey - you misunderstand. I wasnt trying to educate - I was venting. I'm not trying to reach the shitty riders who have such crap skills that they can't even do the simple weight transfers to move a big bike around. Those kind of crapdoodly riders are not the kind of people who give two turds about cutting a corner anyway - they're on Sex Boy because its fast. Not because there's sections of trails which look so cool when the sun shines through the canopy into the ferns.
Either these riders are so shitty they can't turn their bikes properly or worse still they CAN turn their bikes tight and just don't care. Either way I'm not going to be able to reach said dumbass waste-of-skin crappyass rider by ranting on a bulletin board. All I'm doing is e-farting into the wind really.
The only way to cure cutting switchbacks IMO is to keep dragging lots and lots and lots of blowdown into corners. If anyone sees a cut corner - i sure hope that some time can be taken to do that.
and btw - I am NOT accusing you of cutting corners or digging at your skills or whatever. I do appreciate where you're coming from

now here we have a perfect example of the attitude that's killing the shore. it's all about me and let the other guy fix it. if you can ride two hours per week than you can do at least 1 hourn of trailwork or some type of advocacy work per month.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Im sure wayne does his part splinky. Does anyone remember when Sexboy was being used as a DH training run by sombody and all the corners were cut and shitbagged. Im sure thats what has lee in a pisser.
The trail was used and abused and left for dead.
