NSMBA and Matt do it again! Sweet XC

incredible trail, just relentless! kudos to the trail builders

Ha ha! That's a really cool section. As I was walking my bike "up" I checked to see if I had enough clearance for my bars. I didn't think I did - so I didn't even try on the way down. But walking through on the "down" they seemed to make it. Barely. Next time!

No bar banging last night. Next, I'll ride it in the other direction and see how that goes.

Cheers to NSMBA , and Matt .
Rode it in bolth directions. Great to have some new xc around that area. Glad to see our NSMBA fees , and donations going to great use.

Wow, it's really great to hear how much everyone is enjoying the new line!!! I gotta say that Dave sure did a bang up job on the video and he makes a few sections look a lot easier than they really are. Riding up around the giant boulder is a seriously tricky move that only a few people will be able to do. Even though I built it, I still haven't cleaned that line!!!!

Anyways, great to see the positive responses here on the board. The next stages are going to be really cool, too~ For the next section think buttery smooth, rolling, uphill pumptrack ;)

For me, this is exactly what the shore needs. I haven't ridden it yet but it reminds me of Squamish and Galbraith (my favorite spot). Good climbs, rhythm sections, rocks and roots.

Thanks again!

Edit: just kicked in a few $$ to NSMBA for projects like this. I challenge others to do the same!

Dude, honoured to be asked to do the vid and I knew , for all your amazing work I had to step up my game…the only problem is Jeremy is a little jealous but I got the perfect figurine for him too!! See ya on the trails soon! And thanks for the fun ride…it really makes my lynn valley-bridal-sticks/stones bridal-empress-baden-old buck-pingu-pangor-bridal-stick/stones-Bridal-demo forrest-home xc ride that much more epic…:rocker:

Yep, great work. Fun trail and a great addition to my XC loop on Seymour.

hate to admit it. haven't not made that section.It is a tricky one and I love the move around that rock. oh, and i've only ridden it at night, in the rain. sorry. ;-) come to think of it the "tunnel vision" is probably the reason i manage so well. That aside the "unsustainable" up and over exposed root section near the begining has got me both times. The trail is unbelievable and makes for a great drop from the top of the CB. Great job!!!!!!!!

You forgot Bottle Top

You forgot Bottle Top

Oh yeah didn't mention as it is my normal route…up through bottom of neds to bottle top to twin bridges and a climb up to end of the line and a coke and cracker jacks if I am honest….then home…its a dam fine xc loop except Pangor is beat from the winter…

I saw a bear wearing goggles there!

Is there a line over the rock with a transition on the other side??

This trail is so much fun. I've ridden it three times now (always west to east) and have yet to clean it without dabs. Last night, I spent a bit of time going back over sections that I couldn't clear without dabs and made them all EXCEPT that last little boulder after the right hand switchback just before the trail end.. DAMN YOU - I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME!!! :scream:

So, anyone done the full trail without stopping or dabs? :grinno:

Major thanks to the trail builder!!
