ppl goin bye c the trail and they will ride it once....if they think its too challenging after they ride it then they wont rie it again...

[burke_rider]

or they can walk

One thign is: creeks are lowlands, so we need to take care to keep the trail dry.


creeks also flood onto the trail

[burke_rider]

tyler wat drop is that on ur things?

icicic...so there isnt a date yet

flywheel needs work badly

Most of that is just the unfortunate string of weather we have gone through. It was so bad on saturday that the new rockwork after the log was underwater.

After 2 weeks of sun, if the trail is still bad in places, then those places need work.

rungs were in short supply.

we put more rungs on where it isnt over that log. the log was covered in dirt. if more rungs can be found then we can put rungs on all the way.

[billop]

He's not a "nangel tard" (wtf?) We just need all the help we can get. Also, he just so happens to be more experienced then us.

Originally posted by burke_rider

Ladder isn't high on the list of plans. The availability of the correct wood in that area is too scarce, rocks are more abundant.

[billop]

How can rockz be "gay". First, they last longer so you don't have to keep eplacing them. It didn't exactly work the first time someone decided they wanted to put a bunch of ladders in a wet swampy area. You wanna build ladders? Great!! You'll be the one replacing the every year.

This is your one and only warning.

I don't care if Szymon is your friend, your brother or even your boyfriend, it is not acceptable to use the term 'gay' as an insult on this site.

It is as offensive to us as racism - meaning we have absolutely no patience for it. And don't tell me that you 'don't mean it that way'.

That's what people used to say about the word Nigger.

Is that clear?

[seand]

whoa, heh.

im going to assume your last response was not a reply to cam's warning or couch's request....if my assumption is wrong, keep it to yourself. lets just move on from here and put this behind us...

[125]

vics is the one right beside the second gate

[125]

the really steep and technical one

[Millstone]

That's upper vics right? I don't think I've ever ridden it. How steep are we talking? Is it x-treme or what?

[125]

unblock me on msn and i'll tell you how extreme it is:)

[twofortythree]

[125]

no you wont

[twofortythree]

it sounds buck:D :thepimp:

[twofortythree]

yes i will.....how long is the trail???

[125]

um upper vics is like around 30 min and lower vics is about the same

[twofortythree]

ic..is there ne stunts at all??

[125]

no its all natural stuff

[m33p]

Vic's is a classic line down the hill. Love that trail soooo much. Upper is a lot steeper. Lower is a great flowing trail and my favourite trail in the lower mainland right now.

I rode without a front brake for a 2 months.... it's an experience.

Right now I damaged my hose so I'm shortening my rear disc and putting it up front, with a v in the back. I just need an adaptor.

[ATN]

What type of trail? What's your current setup like?

Banshee Morphine
243 stem
243 bar
243 caps
Hayes HMX-9 (8 inch, rear only) (frnt for trails 8 inch)
FSA headset
02 DJ One
Formula hub (frnt)
DT spokes (black)
Sun 26" singletrack
Novateck SS hub w/nutted axel (rear)
DT spokes (black)
Atomlab 24" Trail Pimp
Maxxis Highrollers (24", 26")
FSA Crankers (I forget which...from the gucchi package)
Macneil Sprocket/guard
Axiom pedals
Velo Camo BMX seat

[ATN]

Yup, add the front brake and you are set.

[Action Hero]

Of course, I am riding a Banshee.

[ATN]

I read in the papers recently that they want to turn one of the mtns in the provincial park into a ski resort in the next seven years, and have Lift Assisted Biking there. Any thoughts?

It would be about a 30 min drive, so it would be worth a seasons, maybe even get a job as a liftee.

If thats the case, I'd get a job thier in a minute.

[ATN]

Only problem is that it would take up to 7 years to open, making me 22-23.

Makign sure granny doesn't get knocked over by the chairlift isn't my longterm career goal, altho as a summer job it would get me through university.

[ATN]

It is not on Burke, but on a mountain behind or to the side of it.

Pinecone Burke Provincial Park is larger than just Burke.

This mtn supposedly has 30 feet of snowfall a year, that isn't Burke for sure.

Yeah, I caught the front page column. I didn't read the full article, though.

We'll see. There's a lot of development going on up on Burke Mt. and it's angering me quite a bit. I don't think that it's a bad thing, I just like the mountain the way it is.

[ATN]

I like it fine too.

The only trail that seems to be affected is Flywheel, lower dump is already closed. For shuttlers, this will have no real affect, as they can drive to the gate, but for me.... I get no reward for the Coast climb.

[Pennywise]

Are you serious about the square taper BB. Mines messed and I'm saving for ISIS, but I don't wanna spend any money untill i get the ISIS. And spending $$$ on a BB that will warp in one ride at lafarge isn't worth it.

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

This thread has deteriorated into a chat session. I just reviewed over twenty pages of useless information. Is anyone doing anything to flywheel?? I see that ATN is trying to do work and all that he gets is crtisism, whats up with that. I think people need to put down their keyboards and go out to build. I really think that everyone or anyone that does not have enough time to contribute should restrict their feedback and ensure that it is postive or constructive. And by the way I am not a militant builder that thinks you need to build to ride I just think that a person should put their money where their mouth is.

[125]

:( sorry burke phantoms

[ATN]

Well... unfortunately, I've only really got up there once. We hiked it in the rain, and saw were the puddles were (read: EVERYWHERE) and it's not been too dry since then.

I agree with the chat session thing.... I think everything since page 17 should be nuked. One day I read the thread and on page 17, found the post that ruined this thread.

And you know who made it.

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

Thanks for the support.

Anything cool going up on abyss?

Also, what is your opinion on realigning the exit of upper dump so that it comes out at Flywheel, and doesnt cross the creek into the mudpit? Start before the last a-frame, 20 m long maybe....

We took a look at that area on that sunday and it was bad.

[Pioter]

Ok, sorry, i thought NSMBA trail day was this week, not next.

We ought to try another trail day for flywheel and mabye fix up ending of upper dump while we're there?:???: ?

[ATN]

Currently what happens with trail days is the morning of I wake up early to find it's raining buckets and John's bailed (but I understand)

And no one comes out that I couldn't just contact through msn or pm's.

New plan = check your pm's or msn on sunny weekends.

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

We've got a little sump'n, sump'n in the works. I will keep you guys posted

[billop]

I suggest tomorrow we start scouting out a new line for bottom upper dump. Sorry about all the useless useless posting...I guess I get really bored and inconsiderate when I'm not riding a bicycle...bicycle. I needsers my bike fixed...:(

Anyways, that's what I propose. Maybe we can get something done?

[twofortythree]

not doing any...i dont want to start a fight or anything but like alex said its been very crappy weather...weve been trying to get up but carrying tools from our house all the way up is quite a big job...weve done some building on last run and s2..

I drove by lafarge today, looks like a good place to ride. Do any of you go there often? How is it?

[Adamski]

:poland: :poland:

[billop]

Hey guys, lets try to get back to discussing Burke. This thread has gone into a major downhill spiral. Czesc Adam. :poland:

[Adamski]

Czesc:poland:

are you guys going up Burke anytime soon to build\repair?
You guys still go to Fox?

[ATN]

The lafarge jumps are not dry yet.

As for burke, the weather sucks right now and my bike wasn't working. I can't drive up there so I have to bike.

Yeah, still got 7 semesters left as a raven.

[Action Hero]

I rode there today....most of it is dry.

[twofortythree]

there is alot of ply wood there....i wonder if we should start rocking on some of the trails on burke...or is it not an issue yet with erosion on burke...for example the part on upper ryans that was rerouted???

[ATN]

The upper ryan's reroute - the one before the wide creek that the phantoms rebridged?

That reroute made the line easier, yet more fun.

As for rocking... yes, trailwork is good. What trails to do... the triple crown run is the most ridden trail on Burke. Phantoms are doing ryan's.... so galloway and flywheel?

[twofortythree]

phantoms and us should rock some places on abyss..they have done a good job at the bottom of the rolls wit rocking

[ATN]

Abyss is doing great. The level of workmanship is awesome.

Upper Ryans needs work more than lower IMO.

[twofortythree]

yah upper ryans is sketchy in some places from the mud...maybe we can do somethin out on the power lines like a bridge or somethin

[ATN]

So many ideas, so little time.

[twofortythree]

yes but that trail gets so much wear it would be worth the climb:D

[ATN]

It will all work out.


Come summer we will all be bored out of our skulls!

[twofortythree]

:fro: :clap: :werd: i have to go up wellgood next time

[Trail Rider 1.0]

well, i haven't been on here much lately, i've been soooo busy, and iwont be on much for the next month and a half either. anyways, i think what we really need to do is come up with a plan of whatwe want to do and then justwork down the list. it doesn't have to be on a timetable, just an order that we can work through.

right now, i think the number one priority should be a flywheel upgrade/re-route. I'm still not completely convinced thatit's worth fixing flywheel if it is gonna get torn down in a few years. the way i see it, even if it takes a little while do to some information hunting to find out exactly where a trail will be safe, it'll be worth it to make a new one that won't get torn down

after that huge devellopment goes in on burke, just imagine the traffic a flywheel-like run will get. IMO, we should find out exactly where housing is NOT going to be, and then build a super burly trail that wil handle the abuse. I won't have a lot of time for the next while, but during summer, I'm down with doing some investigating on this, providing I can get some support from others.

just to add on to that point, I don't mind building a trail that is "easy" and will cater to the masses that will be riding their costco bikes down the only shuttle accesable trail on burke. i think whats important, is that we do something low-key, without a lot of stunts, and that does not require alot of maintenance. right now, even a paved path through the forest would be more fun than riding down coast to get down.

Welcome back, o thread creator!

The sale of the land has not gone through yet. Once it's sold, then the devlopers must submit all their documents on what will be built.

I hope that that will happen by summer.

PS. do you have time to look over a couple paragraphs in French for my project?

That has always been one of my beliefs.

I'm not actually sure that it hasn't gone through... all I read about is just proposals.

I'm quite good at putting on nice clothes ant talking to city council, but I've never tried Coquitlam's. We need Brent or Dion or Jason to help because they actually live in Coquitlam.

And then I have some nice formal wear to wear to team awards, etc.

[billop]

I'm sure if we get enough people to ask, they might tell us something.

[ATN]

Found some more nice stuff.

The real subdivisions don't seem to affect Flywheel, but then why are they surveying on the upper part? Also, Flywheel never turns right (toward Coast) until the lower part. Every right turn on the upper part is just to make the trail go straight down the mountain. That means that the trail never gets nearer to Coast than the the start.

wheres the ski resort thing gonna be? the one that was in the newspaper

[twofortythree]

there is a mountain behind burke that it is aparently gonna be on...this wont happen for a few years adn plus there gonna have to make a road to it

[billop]

That means more trails....right? And shuttles straight to the trails. Now that's freeriding at its best.

Paved roads mean more traffic and more maintenance on trails, unless you mean more trails on the mountain thats gonna have the ski lift.... Trails there would be nice :D:thepimp:

[rOOfToP]

this is not rooftop.

flywheel is a waste of time to fix up guys. Put your time and effort into trails that are higher up lots could use some good work. Example:sawblade, well good, the log trail. Fixing flywheel is a waste of time it was good 4 years ago when 12 people rode it a mounth. Even if this plan doesnt say it we all no all the lower parts of burke will be developed. Work higher up. If your gonna build a trail build one off the back side wayy way way way way up and dont tell anyone about it.

Flywheel - toast, maybe not in the first or second phases, but eventually, it's gone

Lower Galloway - Already gone

Upper Galloway - although I doubt it, it may become a bit shorter.

S2 - The land on the coast merid side of the hyde creek is the first phase. That's right next to s2.

I had enough with that place when people started modifying the jumps so they could hit them rather than leaving them with vert lips ect. I was going to build jumps hidden in the mountain but still haven't found a spot I am really stoked on.

That explains it.

As for spots, I do not know any either, as I do not know what exactly you want, and how far a hike up you are willign to make to get to it.

Also, if I knew.... I know.

we rode abyss today and the trail is in pretty good shape..it was kinda muddy adn needs a bit of rock work but ptehr wise al good

[twofortythree]

has anyone ever rode lost and lazy..we saw that trail today but werernt sure about it

[KamaKazi]

i rode it a long time ago and it was pretty good. it starts out into a log ride that has huge drop on one side(or atleast it seemed huge at the time) and then it is mostly DH stuff(so i remember) it was my 2nd ride on my hardtail, so that makes it about... ...1.5 years ago that i rode it

[ATN]

April 19th:

Galloway - same as always... not much new, just a lot of mud and garbage.


Flywheel - someone's been doing some work... and some of it I don't agree with. There's lots of mud, and with the new stuff, some lines don't work out (overshoot corners etc)

I may have to go up and fix.

[125]

how do you manage to go up to burke so often?

[ATN]

In the last 6 weeks I only got up there 2 times.

The rest of the time, it's just because I live close and have lots of friends that ride it too (altho everyone but Dion and Tyler have broken bikes)

[twofortythree]

:woot: :woot: :werd: were prob gonna ride lost and lazy today..i heard taht the trail splits up somwhere..any one wanna coem wit us

[twofortythree]

me and atn rode upper and lower vics today and then last run...lowwer vics was awsome

[ATN]

I went down Flywheel again and got some pics of two areas that concerned me:

http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=80813

Piles of rotting wood..... is that the best thing?

http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=80812

Notice how it doesn't line up.... you can see tire tracks heading towards the tree. Looks like the berm needs extending.

Yes, but today I noticed a lot more survey signs (tape, cut down trees, spraypainted numbers) Most of it was stuff that I probably just rode past before.

I am becoming skeptic.

[LostBoyScout]

the rockwork in the pic you posted is too narrow for that spot for sure. but you're right... Flywheel is a dying cause. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything to it... I say fix what's broke, and live with the rest. I'm going to personally put my efforts into higher trails.. but that's a personal choice.

Good riddance to Flywheel.

I find it funny that right now we have 2 upper portions of trails in that area (Flywheel and Lower Galloway before private property) that are nice right now, and no lower portions (swamp or private property). In time, we will have 0 upper portions, and maybe 1 lower if we are lucky.

All the survey lines are scaring me shitless

I don't really feel like doing anything on a big scale until I know what's getting paved and what isn't.

Sure, an afternoon or two could be spent doing the really awful corners (like the 2 I posted) but nothing real big

The clearing of flywheel is coming im like 2-3 years nothing to be worried about. why not do as much as we can to make it a good trail that goes down then a pice of crap trail. its down low so u dont have to hike high or anything so mise well make it as good as possible. we could always reroute where its terribly muddy and a horrible part, no use trying to fix it if it wont fix

[ATN]

Yeah, I think that too.... you can see in the history of this thread.. back when it was me, jason and paul, and the phantoms.

Right now I'm entering in a really hectic time of the year, starting in 2 weeks I have 7 swim practices over the course of monday to friday, XC races & practices, and a swim meet every weekend starting on the 25th of May. Once I get out of school it will be easier.

I'd like to see how things work out over the summer, also with getting supplies. Pangor made me very envious, being in a cedar forest with lots of rocks.

Of course Flywheel is going to really suck right now though, think about the weather lately - 45ish days in a row now that it's rained. CBC is closed... because it's too wet.

Once the dryer season comes, the trail may not fully dry or become the bomb... but it'll be fully acceptable as a means to get down the mountain. That's really all you can ask of a trail like that.

As for PoCo riders who ride street... I do, but on my trials bike

Sweet guys, you can count me in. We gotta actually scout a line this time tho and biuld stunts that are a little bit better then the originals. Also, for the last section of upper dump, we could reroute that muddy mess to hook up with the new trail. Eh?

hello everybody, haven't had the time to participate in awhile. I did however have a chance to ride flywheel. I don't see the big problem, all the work that has been done has been a valuable addition. Flywheel is a long trail and it will continue to take work. ATN, I think that you are right on the money with just going up and working. I don't know how many times I saw you try to get a big work day going only to be thwarted by bad weather(Weather doesn't reall matter if you wear proper gear) To make my point short don't give up on flywheel. There is quite a bit of cedar down there and once the dryer weather comes the trail will be awesome. Anyway all I'm saying is keep your head up and stay involved your efforts are worthwhile

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

ATN, the first photo shows the rotten wood. The rotten wood will decompose and it will not set up properly. I would suggest rock work and raised elevation combined with a water bar to let the water pass and drain. To fix low spots you need to either 'a' raise them up or 'b' create a lower spot for the water to find. I find many spots of trail need this. The abyss is going to need this in a few places to make it a viable heavy usage year round trail. In regards to the second picture it is very tough because what is a could line now will most likely be to tight for how fast we will be going in the summer. I suppose that changes will have to be made once the trail gets drier and we figure out exactly where we overshot our corners.

That's what I was thinking for the first photo, although that area may just need a 20m long reroute. I don't exactly feel like bringing in enough material to raise it (the entrie section is low) and I do not have a way of getting cedar cut up, plus why build a bridge when you can go without?

[twofortythree]

we could bridge it??? that might be the easiest way..on the first photo there is the mud whole..we coudl bridge that too

When you are trying to add flow, bridges should be the last option.

[twofortythree]

i think bridges would flow through that mudwhole fine

[twofortythree]

i think there our best chance there its too much of a mess...and how it dips in the ground and how low it is..plus the log on the side would make it pretty hard to drian things out

[billop]

Sure but what's more flowy, ladders or mud? You said yourself you don't want to elevate it with dirt. I think an elevated ladder would be the second best thing to do in this case.

[chopcity]

What are u talkig about if its a good ladder is make nice flow mise well use a ladder that takes much less time then putting rocks in that takes much longer plus ladders are more fun

No elevated rock work would be the best but since Flywheel is devoid of rocks we have to go with a ladder made of imported wood.
