The problem with Fantastic is that there is nothing imaginative or creative about its design. It's the only trail (that I can think of) still remaining from the 90s that hasn't been updated to any extent. It is also the only bike trail that is entirely on a ski trail, limiting how much berm [HTML_REMOVED] wood work they can do with it.
If you rode Fantastic in 2000 and you rode it today, it is mostly the same. They took away a rock section after where the old Upper DH/Fantastic split was and added some erosion [HTML_REMOVED] mud in its place. It has a few moments of fun, but there is so much more potential for it.
Word is that trail may never see major work, they realised long time ago that trails on open runs are hard to maintain due to over exposure from the elements, even Crabapple hits and the green run beside it have nice rain ruts down the trail, just logistically is hard to keep them up in prime shape when the first good rain ruins your eight hour of toil, plus its one of the originals from the 90's, leave it a little old school…..

can't they divert the trail into the trees…. riders right ?
:canada:
Crank It Up will head all through the trees and end at the Joyride Jump zone……
mtbskierdad
I thought you mentioned it wasn't going to get any real work done ?
:canada:
The conversation had steered toward Fantastic if you were reading the thread, Fantastic probably won't see major improvements……
mtbskierdad
sorry… my bad

fantastyk is fun unless its wet then its just a big river
Not a huge Fantastic fan. However, I usually find myself riding it as a warm up. Or maybe just to get to CiU. I can't remember.
But it's always chundered!
i dont mind fantastic, first part if kinda fun. my warmup run is always fantastic - jump zone - lower whistler dh - connector to the ladder practice area - crack addict or b line
just ride schleyer or joyride after crank it up. just continue past past fantastic and look out for ppl coming down.

I love the idea of putting a dual salom run on the hill, but i think it would be killer if they did it on crab apple……first extend crab apple all the way up and then proced to build the fastest, biggest air dual course ever seen.
I know it will never happen, but i can dream can`t I?

m a phoney…a big phat phoney!
so what….big woop….wanna fight about it?!
I like to race………does that make me a racist ? :banned:
Heck I would be more than willing to take my shovel and help with the work… I have a nine to fiver… but would be willing to do it on weekends.
WorD!
that'd be about the last thing id ever do. whister pays people to do trail work and then reaps huge profits from people riding the trails. last thing id ever do is volunteer there.

Taylor, we pay people to work in the Bike Park cause you could never run an operation like this on voly labor and we provide good employment for quite a few people. The trail crew is very proud of the job that they do and all of them ride. As for reaping huge profits, you are mistaken there. You have no idea how much it costs to build new trails, maintain old ones and generaly operate the Bike Park. It is not cheap and there is not that much left at the end of the year.
