I wrote a paper on the Shore's sustainability for college...

Hello fellow riders,

At the suggestion of Cam I'm putting this on here. I go to college at UC Santa Cruz, but my Mom lives in good old Vancouver. For my Environment and Society course, we were assigned to write a paper, do interviews, et cetera on an environmental issue in our hometown. I immediately jumped on the excuse to write about the Shore and the sport we all know and love. If any of you care for the bibliography, I can post it as well. So now that the background is done, I'll post the paper (note: I have to post it below because it's too long to fit in one post).

PS: If any of you want to use this for something, that's fine, but please let me know first. I spent a lot of time on this and there's no pride in plagiarism.

The Infamous North Shore Just Got a Little More Precarious

Several hundred miles north of Santa Cruz lies a town by the name of North Vancouver. It

Sorry, I don't write Cliff Notes. If you're so afraid of reading several pages, fine, but please stick to more unintelligent threads.

That was cool Kyle. It must have been really hard for you to get an interview with the mayor. I bet that he is really busy now having just gotten into office and only has spare time for family.

P.S. Oh, and I met a guy named kyle last night at a party in the cove. He looked a lot like u and even had the same style hair cut and a leather jacket!!

P.P.S. On a more general note. I also met a guy named Ross Measures. Ross, if u read this; Hi!

Haha thanks. Yeah that mayor's tough to reach. And if you met a similar looking Kyle, was his hair new short hair or old hair, and if it was old hair, did he look like Matt Hunter too?

It was new short trendy style hair with the gel and everything!!! But I suspect that it Matt Hunter were to have short hair that they would look similar. Oh yah and come home to the place where the mountains are wet, cold and kick ass and try to bring both sets of gear or at least your helmet for biking. 2 weeks!!!

mtbfreerider182 - I learned a few things from reading your paper. Sounds like you interviewed the right people. Good job [HTML_REMOVED] thanks for posting that up.

Cameron - I reccomend you give it a read, but the short version is that our trails are sustainable, but we still have a long way to go, and we need everyone's help.

neat article. makes me warm and fuzzy and crave some upper oil right now.

Thanks…my pleasure.

Hmm, I'm staring university reading physical geography next year. Perhaps I could do something along these lines later on - a study of the environmental impact of MTB on soils and ecosystems. There would be a big smile on my face every time I said 'I'm off to go study!'

nice little write-up
