nsmba poster child - CBC on Seymour. Hands down for outtatowners checking out the Shore. Upper Oilcan and Lower Ladies on Fromme would be a close second.

make sure u come over in time to ride Whistler thou...
no Shore experience is complete if u dont hit up the whistler ride park...
post up, i'll hook up wit you and show u some trails for sure...

That sounds awsome, i think i'll be accross sometime next year aswell, possibly staying in Kamloops but I'd deffintly travel around a bit, and i'd have to stay in Van forra while, for the urban and obviously the shore! :drool::fu::D
How long would u be out for Spud?
P.S. everyone ive heard from loves CBC, its a trail i cant wait to ride!

yup i'm gonna be over next year too :D Probably with a couple of other guys I ride with.
CBC is the showcase pinacle of what the Shore is all about...
esp. when its dry...:D
Kudo's to the work crews for keeping that trail buffed all year, it sees a tremendous amount of traffic...

CBC is certainly something that shouldn't be missed, but I'd have to go with Pink Starfish.
The quality of that trail brings a tear to my eye every time I ride it. It's a little more difficult than CBC, and not as many hours have been put into it (probably), but the variety and creativity on that trail is astounding.
Do both at least. Bringing your bike to the shore and only riding one trail would be downright sinful.
Ask this question right before you come over. A lot can happen in a year.

If you want the true shore experience, bring a shovel with you and come to one of the nsmba trail days. Definately something that you shouldn't missed. Alot of fun and it's a good way to appreciate the hard work that's put in. Not to mention the free beer and burgers and apparantly BBQ Salmon one day. Just ask Crazy Keith:D
..... And the trail you don't wanna forget about is Ladies Only, one of the original 'hard core shore' trails, between that and Reaper it's what's made the shore the shore.

So true, I think its like a 14 hour flight to Vancouver from Australia, so there would be no way I'm only gonna hit one trail while I'm there. I'm probably looking at staying about 6 weeks and then off to visit the relatives in the US. But like you said, alot can happen in a year........

I never intended doing just a single trail ,just trying to get a feel for whats the cream .
IFO yeah I'm going to check out Whisler , it just sounds sweet .
Tool I'll only make it over for like 2-3 weeks (with the kids )so might just have to skip out on that trail day . I would like to go along maybe pick up some tips for our own trails (I've a pretty good idea about the hard work ,we've been building our own trails about 2 years now.
oh my buddy is going this summer ill pass on the info .
Bring on next summer.
