sweet drop!

yes, in the far backgrouns is Vancouver island.

close island is Bowen island.

spit of land in the middle-right is the sunshine coast …

yeah so that's the fracture in the humorous(sp?)(upper arm), the fainter areas inside the red circle ….

> a little dark?

it was a night ride!

just to clarify, that shot is by the famous Mr. Johnny Smoke ….

it's a winner for sure!

never done it, but turns off the west side of fromme peak would be sick. steep enough in there to be interesting and high enough to have good snow pack

krinkum seems way too flat to be a good ski

the best is when people cut a one hit movie line that goes nowhere off an existing unsanctioned trail in a sensitive area. and more specifically, a line that if shot or filmed would be extremely obvious as to where it is. thanks guys. hope you earned some mad cash. the volunteers who built the trail are just stoked it's getting ridden and filmed. no worries if gets shut down. all the people who ride it and keep it on the DL don't mind.

Visitors are the only reason the trail network is as developed and operational as it is today.

pretty sure the main reason the trail network is there is due to the efforts of local volunteers and trail builders. maybe you can explain how visitors are somehow responsible instead?

on the Taco if you hold down the traction control button for a couple seconds it disables the traction control but all the anti-skid stuff is still active.

you have to be at a complete stop and hold the button for like 10 seconds (seems to take forever) and then it will disable all the computer stuff and you are free to drift and pull donuts as you wish.

or that is what it seems like.

would be nice if all cars had something similar.

i've been running the cheap MEC ones. sure they are a bit floppy and look dorky but they keep my feet nice and dry and warm. no problem with clipping in/out.

i dunno, kind of seems like everyone is still here, just lurking

how's this for a retro DH hardtail?

early Chromag TRL frame
first gen Fox 36
26" wheels
narrow bars
no dropper
DH rims [HTML_REMOVED] tires
Saint cranks
2 x 9 drivetrain

ya it rips! (on the right trails)

The guys that built Upper and Lower Tallcans have moved on to other things.

It is a shame that people would cut corners on that trail, but not a surprise considering the level of stupidity out there. We would obviously prefer to see the line kept as. But, after 5 or more years of not working on it, if any people step up to maintain it they can really do whatever they want.

someone buy my chromag TRL and step up to the plate with a handbuilt steel frame that will never let you down:
