Could the increased popularity of racing have something to do with it?

Not really much opportunity to go all ham on the north shore style trail since it's mainly slow tech. There are a few exceptions, Bobsled, expresso, john deere. Which are all in amazing shape considering the ammount of traffic they get. But I do see a lot of people dropping into sensitive trails during or shortly after a monsoon.

I was a bit surprised he wasn't wearing a bucket

They look amazing but 250$ is way too rich for my blood. I already bought some spendy flats and I bent a few pins so badly it ruined the threads on the pedal body.

Looks like he caught his left foot/pedal on that stump

Great news! stoked Ladies is getting some much needed love! and that so much attention is being put on some more challenging tech trails.

Thanks ya'll

I have had 2 mountain bikes in the last 8 or 9 years and i ride at least once per week. Both happend to have 26″ wheels. It was always about getting on my bike and being out in the forest and pushing myself or riding with friends and having fun on our bikes. This who obsession with tinkering with bikes to make a profit really goes against everything this sport is about, makes me sad.. Hopefully I can keep my 26er going for a while longer.

Those were some burly crashes!

They should have called them the "Sick dude man bro's" I dunno I'm just talking shit, the name really isn't that bad.

Who names this crap? boomslang?

I rode Neds yesterday, and god damn it was rough, it's sad to see a 4km long consistent decent going from CBC down to powelines crumble. Some of the sections are still fun but overall the whole decent seems to be in dire need of some love. 

How cool would it be to see a DH style trail built on the existing CBC and Neds line that could be used as a race course that would incorporate the shore style and features with some new school flow and jumps. Am I too much of a dreamer?

I don't get why there is such a controversy around making some trails mountain bike only and others Hiking only. It's the only logical solution. The Mtb communtity puts in the man hours on the majority of the the trails on the shore so it would make sense to keep them strictly for biking for safety reasons. 

Literally about 80% of the time I ride sanctioned trails I run into hikers. I'm always polite but most of the time it scares the fuck out of me and the other party. Last summer I was attacked by a guys dog on skull and another time came off a skinny on ladies because I had 2 joggers coming straight at me running on the same feature. And this weekend we bumped into a family hiking up John Deer.

I understand you want to be inclusive of everyone but it just seems insane to me having people ripping downhill with hikers climbing up the same trails that are built for bikes...

Hey can I get a job at norco with a criminal record? I've stabbed and mutilated a few hookers, i'm sure that will be fine ya?

I had a couple come up to me at old buck and asked me if I knew the location of a trail on Seymour and they pulled up a map of the darkside on a superphone, made me want to vomit.

Does anyone know what the Alice lake trails will be like this weekend?

I actually picked up a fanny pack and they are awesome..

You also need a carbon bike with 29" wheels or 27.5" wheels with boost spacing. Basically if you have an Aluminum bike, throw it out, 26" wheels? Garbage. Fuck just spend 6000$ or more on your bike and you're good to go.

Yea The seat post wasn't inserted far enough into the seat tube, I also heard that aluminum frames are hard to "fix" because they are heat treated. Rocky is sending me a crash replacement which is amazing but It still may take a while..

It's the Seat tube by the way

I'm going to sound like a bit of a dick but I really don't like the parking lot on Fromme. It's turned into a zoo on that mountain. I was out riding today and I bumped into 2 groups of hikers/joggers on Ladies. It's pretty sketchy when you're coming up to a roller coaster and there's 4 people in front of you as you're about to commit to a difficult feature. I also saw a group of runners popping out of bobsled, I honestly do not understand this, there are so many places to hike/run, why would you choose a mountain bike trail, especially with the kind of traffic it gets from bikes. And a few weeks ago I was riding lower ladies and almost ate shit when a dog walker with a bunch of off leash dogs was hiking up the trail and snickers decided to run right into my line. Why are the trails up on Fromme are not marked as Mountain bike only, I fell like it's just going to get worse. Can anyone else relate to this or am I slowly turning into a grumpy old man?
