Board-dwellers,

Went for a ride last night on Fromme and was having a very cool time on Upper Oil can, then we flowed into Grannies.... then we took a wrong turn somewhere and found another trail...
Anyway we eventually got to the bottom of Grannies and found a trail that someone is working on right now.

Whoever it is GOOD WORK. This trail is going to be sick. It has great flow and the work on packing of the rocks is going to make this trail last.

Anyway it comes out at some tennis courts just above the houses. Not sure what it's called but it's going to be a hella' loads of fun when it's completed.

Crippler.

Excellent work. Whenever I ride I usually see them working on it.

That's the one.

It's super rad.
Who's building it? I want to shake their hands. In fact I'd love to help too if they are doing anything one evening. I'll just haul rocks if that's what they need!

Lower Crippler if after the BP - I believe they've named the coaster "the pimp coaster".

Definately Great Work

Wrong roller coaster Blaine, that one's on Lower Ladies.

The pimp coaster isn't quite as big, and it curves after the second hump, very cool.

Yes, it is wilkez (Tyler) and Niggz (Nigel), the Surrey Hicks. Those guys bus it in from Surrey most times to work on that trail. I've been out a few times to help them and they are great guys. They would prolly like an offer of help.

It should be embarassing to most people that these guys (high school kids) bus it in from Surrey on the weekends to work and we have a hard time getting local riders to come out and build.

listen to that synchro guy, he knows what hes talking about.

the first coast is the one me and nigel built on lower crippler. glad you enjoyed.

if you like the trail next time you ride it, pile rocks somehwere please :) you dont need to come out to trail days or work on a trail to help out, just carry 3 big rocks from somehwere off the trail so i dont have to do it by myself next time i go to build. 75% of trailbuilding is taken up by harvesting resources
