^^ Was thinking the same thing!   That was rad

If you are a douchebag; ala Beiber or Jesse James, you will be a douchebag with or without the flat brimmed hat. I do and will always keep my flat brimmed hat with either a slight curve or with the brim flipped upm but "flat" none the less. 

Lets get real though, MTB has THE WORST style out of any of the "extreme sports" so worrying about hat brims is fun but rediculous. How about the big ugly chunky 5/10s, the funny lil socks, the awkward fitting nerd shorts, and goofy jersey. ALL of which with a contradictory pattern.   

Hat Brims = Least of our worries! ;-)

Ooooh mtb, sausage parties, an old chick flashing, and a tubby girl trying to booty shake. If you're gonna show party stuff make it good!!!

was were the unforeseen circumstances? just curious

that gave me a bit of a bone

thats rad, where is it

where is sunshine bay?

what kind of bike is that?

where? oakridge vancouver?

Howdie guys! Haven't been on the boards in a while but my last few trips up seymour got me wondering...   Do Roadies now rule Seymour??

ie: they take up a lane and a half (at least) on their goofy ass ride up, then take up the entire lane on the way down.  Have all of the crazy shuttle monkeys gone so soft that this is just the way the mountain is now? 

cheers all!  ;-D

Good Afternoon,

Thanks for your passionate email to Park Board Commissioners and the General Manager about the proposed Vanier Bike Park extension (pump track). I am responding on their behalf to let you know that we have not canceled this project. We are recommending that we give more fulsome time for community engagement and review concerns recently raised about eagle habitat. Please know that we care very much about this project as we do about wildlife and the environment.

Thank you again for your email and support for this project.

Kindly

Joe

OOPS!! That gigantic pic didnt exactly help me with my subtle forum solicitation! lol

...You should just buy my endorphin ;-)   You're welcome.

Random 'best bike for the shore' thoughts...

-pick more based on your riding style  ie: are you jibbing and popping down the trail, or just grippin and rippin?

-the shore is way more slow/tight/tech than it is wideopen/fast

-Cyps & seymour darkside =enduro/DH bike ,  Fromme and/or seymour = trail bike or 'all mountain' would be plenty of bike

Its already hard enough to find a damn 26' tube these days!! lol

no no NO!! to this whole thread!    ...that is all ;)

ya it causes a big shitshow in the neighborhood when it isnt open when its supposed to be; ie a sunny easter friday.

Hello,

Why is the gate always closed? Is the parking lot now out of commission or is there a date for it to open?

thanks

-Reply from MaskallW@dnv.org:

Hello Mr. Young.

Thank you for your email.

The Mt. Fromme parking lot gate was only closed during the severe winter weather, as the road is unmaintained during those times. Snow and ice had caused safety concerns for users.

The gate has been open during the day since that time. Currently the gate is closed at 7pm for the evening, as posted at the entry.

Thank you.

HI Wayne,

Thank you very much for your reply; however, you are not correct. I have gone by several times the last couple weeks and it has been closed each time. I was just there this past friday at approx 11am and it was locked again.

If you could kindly confirm with whoever it is that is supposed to open the gate that they are in fact doing so, it would be much appreciated. You don't have to take my word for it either, most of the nsmb.com's 'Fromme trail conditions thread' is filled with questions about the gate and jokes about it being closed seemingly ALL the time.

Thank you very much for your efforts and help with this matter.

all the best sir,

-from mr dnv:

Hello James,

I will indeed confirm with the staff responsible for opening the gate that it is in fact opened daily at the appropriate time.

Thank you

Open the F'ing gate please!!

...and yes, i'm obviously somewhat lazy ;) ...but I know im not the only one!
