Thanks for
1) New woodwork on pipeline
2) New Old Buck. I can now (just) climb it all the way to Baden Powell on my AM bike.
3) Recent work on Baden Powell around bottom of Expresso and Pipeline (is it just me or is the trail getting gnarlier once you pop through those two trees and start the descent?)
4) Severed
5) Expresso
6) 7th Secret
7) Floppy - love the new entrance
8) Lower Oilcan
9) The amazing trail network around Bridal Path (Salamander, Rapid Transit, etc)
10) For keeping the gnar on a bunch of trails I haven't mentioned.

Thanx to Mark in Nelson for building such awesome trails (Paper Bag, Bedframe), and whoever built the original lines for the Smallwood loop (incl Valhallua), and Gold trails (Goldmember, Lucky Charms, Goldrush) basically thanx to Nelson for keeping the oldschool alive
Thanx to all the amazing work in Squamish (Treasure - thought trails like this would no longer be built!). Thanx for keeping oldschool alive there!
Thanx to all the great trails in Pemberton and Whistler Valley. Dito for keeping oldschool alive out there as well.

Thank you to the FVMBA for building the new bi-directional beginner trail on Vedder. Beautiful climb up to mid mountain instead of having to use the access road.

Thanks for the gold on TNT!

+1

Hadn't ridden TNT until recently and was pleasantly surprised! I had originally thought it was a beat up old hiking trail but it was quite the opposite. Tons of fun

Thank you to everyone who has ever done any work on any trail on the North Shore.

Thank you to anyone who respects the trails and doesn't skid or cutty up soft trails just because it's the cool thing to do in movies.

Thank you to everyone who has the self-restraint to stay off soft trails when they're wet.

And thank you to everyone who knows which trails should be on Strava and which shouldn't.

If you want Fred to ride Your Mom you need Tinder. It was my first time on Tinder yesterday and I got what I came for.

Seriously, the trail was awesome. Like a refined Pseudo Tsuga with better jumps, taller berms and arcs that allow you travel that much faster. Wide open and high speed. Though in classic modern AM style there are two climbs on the trail. Good times.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

Thanks to Rob Coquet for the rebuild of lower Pseudo Pstuga.
Masterpiece!
Speed reducing uphill berms are beyond incredible. One of my favorite types of turns.

Thanks to everyone who came out to clear blowdown on Iron in early May. Big group of out-of-towners made the trip to Merritt to get the trails ready for the year. I was in Nicaragua at the time and a huge crew drove up and cleared approx 250 trees from half a dozen different trails. Huge props to all that came up. You know who you are. On that note- trails on Iron are prime right now. Get some…..

Great big thanks for long and warm summer evenings! Rode until 9:30 tonight, and only turned on the lights for the last 10 minutes of the ride. :clap:
