I walk through your Trail today Synchro and all I have to say is OMG!!!! it is one of the most amazing works of art I have ever seen hands down. I don't post that often but I had to give you props for your work. keep it up I can't wait to see the end result. If I hear ya on the trail next time I'm there I'll stop by and give ya some of my time.

Mark, I'm pretty that was my buddy Smokey the Black Bear that you ran into. I decided to give him a name because I keep running into him on the lower trails, and it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Last time I saw him, I was whipping around a corner on Empress Strikes Back and, lo and behold, Smokey is sitting smack in the middle of the trail. Good thing I had hydros, I probably stopped less than 15 feet from him.

He made a beeline for the ditch as soon as he saw me come hurtling down the trail. After that, he just sat there and watched me as I huffed and puffed my way back up the trail, desperate to avoid becoming lunch meat for Smokey.

Deakin down on Powell Street (around Commercial).

haven't had a pic in a while because i've had to rebuild a ladder section. i had made it abit too tight and it didn't flow very well into the stunt. ah well, live and learn.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Yes, it is on Seymour. It's a connector from Corkscrew to Pingu, which will take MTB traffic off of Incline (which really shouldn't have MTB traffic).

Now if there were only a connector from CBC to Corskscrew…

HEy syncro or any other trail builders i am just wondering if anyone had ever thought of doing trail building apprenticeships(sp?)

I mean i'd love to help out and build but i don't know how, and i cant just start building because one it would be crap and two you can't just adopt a trail.

I work on trails to get away from the idiots.the last thing i need is a couple genius' throwing sticks at each other as i try to get work done.
i tried recruiting a few people one day to help me get some work done.these people had never attempted to build trail before--boy oh boy, did i ever hear alot of whining.
