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.

More ride time on the frame that has surpassed my skill over and over.  She does not like the Climbing routes.... 

Snow line at 7th as of yesterday.

We are becoming lazy as we get older yes?

That would be something eh?

The top wood feature is around 250 feet long and we decided to replace the whole thing due to its age.

250 ft works out to about 50 10' sections of stringers then add in 2 X 8' stringers for supports every 10' and you end up with a good amount needed.

We are also rebuilding the 100' coaster down near the 2nd teeter that was taken out a few years back and have all the wood ready for that as well.

The DNV has been great in getting us 90% of all that wood from various sources from all over the DNV. Our only job was to get it to the work sites.

I think you just explained the problem we are having on Pipeline

"sheer pace of mtbing around here has gotten faster due to the equipment and general progression. This can cause braids as people accidentally blow off the trail, especially on older trails built with slower speeds in mind"

We have lots of problems with this and users of this trail to make things flow faster.

Reopening in coordination with BC Parks/LSCR lots makes sense. With the other lots remaining closed, the Fromme lot would likely be flooded if it reopened first.

Fromme has already been flooded.

The amount of Loam lines that that have appeared over the last few months is hair raising. Heat maps are not helping this at all.

Old hiking lines have become a mess.

Ya chatting with Digger the other day, the DNV is pissed about all the new loamers that have appeared. The exits and entrances are so obvious, no one bothers to walk in and walk out of them anymore. Think it may affect future building projects. The DNV can just say no so easily.

This is why more than ever the permitted builder really need to show how we do things. From what I am hearing in the tumble weeds on the dark side of trail building on all 3 mountains are not great. 

Talk to the land owners, the management involved. Get your permits and build. 

The builders of Fromme pinch ourselves each day knowing we are able to build legal world class trails just outside of a metropolitan area.

Sawyer water filter is what we use. The best IMO

100,000 gallons @ 0.1 micron filtration
