Trail problems :(

g1mpy · 06-27-2003, 05:50 PM

I have some problems...where I live there is like no mtbers therefore no trails...we also have no mountains...just little hills...where you guys live do you have to walk or ride your bikes up hills all the time to hit small trails with only like 3 stunts...or are your ttrails a continous flow of stunts and jumps...are your trails completely downhill or is there some flatland?
I wanna know if its worth it to build stuff for only that much of a trail or what i should do

If you want to ride some new stunts, build them. Period. If that means you are hiking up a hill many many times, thats okay - to go down, you must first go up.

we have to hike up Mt.benson all the time if ya wanna ride in the summer ya just cook and in the winter the whole way up is a creek ya gotta walk up....every place people live no matter where has its downers. If I were you and really wanted to ride bad I would build shit no matter how short the hill was or how flat is is just make tons of lines such as skinnies, berms, alberta has few trees right so make some monster gaps and dirt hits, just be creative and before ya no it you'll have some cool lines for yourself and your buddies to ride sometimes ya have to build something out of nothing. GO BUILD.

Some ones gotta build it it you wanna ride it.. so start a revolution and get out there and build! it shouldnt be a matter of how many times you must walk up a hill, its all about what youre willing to do for your sport that you love, right?

Switchbacks

There are quite a few trails here that run down short hills. Turns a 2 minute run into a 10 minute run.

Also, alot of trails (like one I'm currently building) go down to a flat section before again down into a valley. You just have to figure out whats best for your terrain.

Burst climbs, flat sections, you can lengthen a trail out.

Also something where you could build a network of trails that you jsut keep going up and down would be sweet.
