This is all the Heckler I need

1. Worth the time and proper wood work is art work

2. It does when you build to last. 20 years is possible

3. One time purchase when you re-use all nails when rebuilding wood work

4. Lots of great wood due to each winter blow downs.

5. Every rider has his own favorite terrain.

The title of this article is a bit misleading and is not correct. The Immediate removal makes it sound like the DNV is going in an ripping out all teeters ASAP. This is NOT the case.

They are working with all the builders who are part of this and have asked each of us how we want to make this work in a positive way.

The DNV has been very proactive in this and has let all builders know well in advance so we could all build a plan around each teeter replacement.

The DNV is NOT at fault and are extremely accommodating to other options that will keep the trails affected challenging and fun.

We the builders of Pipeline have been part of this process and are happy with what we have submitted to the DNV as a replacement and I am sure the rider will love the new features to replace what was lost.

Ahhhh HAHAHAHA.... 

Long live the Shore.

I haven't been up there in a while - which part of the trail is that photo from?  Is it the wooden part that had the "scenic route" alternate line, or the part further down the trail that had the (other) teeter totter?  When I was there last all of the wood work with the first teeter totter was complete and running great!

This is the wood coaster that we pulled out 7 years ago due to safety. Just above the 2nd Teeter on the skidder road. 

It is now complete as of today.

165' of wood!

Have at it.

We all voted for you Matt.  Lets hope we have not seen the last of you on the political front. You have had our back for years on the DNV Council.

Always have an open spot on Pipeline if you want to Dig with us.

We have all the best toys anyways. and extra hammocks for the kids to hang out in while we dig.

Resurrection of the old wood line.

With the prices sought for some of these ebikes, wouldn’t in be cheaper to hire a big lad to just carry you around?

Hodor!

Shore Sherpas!

Endless Biking is involved!

A local Foam Pit ?

One wonders at what point will we have an electric powered vehicle on our trails cause a fire on the trail.

The only reason I bring this up is the user of said electric unicycle we spoke with only had time to talk because his unit was over heating and needing to stop to let it cool down.

Working on Pipeline yesterday and this smart wheel made its first appearance on the trail.

I was impressed they rode all the wood work and 95% of the trail.

Totally agree but even when bikes are included into design they can still get it wrong. I’ve been running a job at UBC for the last few months. Wesbrook Mall rehab focused on bike/pedestrian upgrades. Seems to me to be a flaw in design in many areas, especially at the intersection of Wesbrook and Chancellor. Design has pedestrians and bikes crossing paths in several spots and seems like a recipe for collisions. From what I’ve witnessed so far is that all three user groups in this area seem very entitled and this should be interesting when we are done.

Been riding through this new "upgrade" work from the start. I have no idea how they are planning to put the old bike lane back in place going west. The sidewalk does this inverted round-about and creates a major pinch point. Are they planning on bikes using the new very large circle sidewalk?

Here is the agreement that we signed with the DNV on March 17th 2022.

This agreement made so much more sense.

Much changed between March 17th and April 29th.

Whoa! I'm glad you are okay.

Never ignore the creaking sounds thinking it is the seat or old peddles. 

My bad for not following my own advice. A few months ago the sound started and I checked my seat "yup creaking" all good... 

Not...
