Trails near or in Edmonton?

I'm moving to Edmonton and just wodnering where the trails are? I'm willing to drive for an hour or mroe to get to them but not driving as far as Calgary or anything.

have fun. there's no trails in edmonton that i know of, and i've never heard of any. i've never heard of any within a few hours driving either. although this spring work will be starting on a freeride park in Red Deer so that's about an hour and a half or so drive. although there are quite a few riders in edmonton, and there is also supposed to be quite a bit of good urban.

MiKeY is right. There is nothing Edmonton except cops who give out tickets for riding on the sidewalk.

crap, ain't that just peachy? This just adds to how much i hate the idea of moving to Alberta.

We're going to have some next year in slave lake which is like 2 hours north of edmonton but they arent ready yet.

they have soem but im not goign to tell you anyways..
when u gonna be moving?

i'm moving in September or around there most likely.

haha me and brodierider went there this summer. Its ok. If your willing to haul ass around the city there are some sweet stair sets and such for urban and then a few nice little drops out at Mills Creak. If your looking for a good shop head over to Hardcore Bikes on Whyte Ave. The staff there is awesome and they have great service, and they always have organized rides, they'll show you around!
Have fun!

is there more than just urban there? After all i was looking at a new Big Hit or Banshee before i found out i was moving, i've got a feeling that this is going to throw my technique and stuff in the trash.

if you can, grab a hardtail before you leave. the hardtail will be much more useful there.
