this trail looks so epic. Starting on a similar project in my backyard. Its in norcal but the terrain looks so similar. This is def providing some inspiration
Dude, I just stumbled across this video looking for some Colorado rides. That is so freakin awesome and your dog is just icing on the cake. I love how that dog knows the shortcuts. Just great! Amazing!
hey, u should come make signs like that one in the video for every trail so first time bikirs coim up ledgeview will no were to go and not were to go. like da plow would be black and labit me would be black and burminator would be blue , amy fisher would be green an u would no the rest. and were is xcelerator??? . just an idea cuz that 1 looks really good and maby even build up some trails. great riding thx .
Not sure I, or my el-cheapo mountain bike could handle this trail, as Im new to riding mountain bike trails, and my bike is, well,,,, cheap.. But, Im very willing to try it out when we go out to the Cultus area to camp in a few weeks.. Need to find this spot, as well as all the other trails Ive been reading about, and watchin vids of...
Anyway, like everyone else is sayin, this is a bad ass trail, from the looks of the vid.. Found the vid through Google Earth. Hope I can find this place!
Fabulous trail! I am sure that you are proud of what you have done, but living in the moment you probably have no idea what this looks like to others! Your trail is amazing. We bike in Colorado and have nice trails, but this is fantastic! Great job and done with concern for the environment and you are sharing? You should be the MTB poster child for what TO do right!
This trail is even more fun than it looks in the video! Amazing job - you are a MTB artist. The geography this trail visits is spectacular. Rode it last year on my hardtail with V-Brakes... Cleaned most of the uphills (with oxygen breaks) & all the down except one tight corner that feeds you right into a fairly gnarly chute. Pucker factor was too high. Will be back soon - spring is coming!
bro, this vid makes me want to jump up and grab my wheels every time i watch it. plus, extra kudos for the rage track. i be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker what!!!
Rode the trail again yesterday. Brilliant trail building! I was good on all the downhill and all but a couple of the up hill switch backs. I've never seen anyone who can climb like you. See you on the trail.
I grew up riding trails with a lot switchbacks in the Kootenay's in the late 80's, that with a few years of competing in trials has really helped with cleaning the tight corners up and down. The more you ride XCelerator, the easier it will get. Glade you are enjoying the trail.
This trail is a 40min hike in from any road and built on a steep slope = lots of shoring. Building over 4km took 18 months. I would build for 3-4hrs a day before working afternoon shift. Some weeks were 20hr build weeks. Just me building. Sometimes I could bribe guys with beer to come help. Building material was from blown down maples, no live cuts, and the cedar was packed from the other side of the mountain. None grows on my side.
If it could pay my morgage, I would do it full time.
this is a really good looking trail and if you built it almost all on your own i give you major props. i just got permissiono to build a trail freeride trail near where i am it going to be 3miles, with a lot of ladders but i have three good friends who will help all the time and i have connections with a couple groups so im hoping to complete it within 8months from the start date.
Spectacular! North Shore has got nothing on you cats! I would die for a trail like this - I live in Marin County and most of our juicy single-track is off-limits (sigh). Good job cleaning those tight switchbacks. They would make my knee tendons go snap, crackle pop. Not to mention the inevitable stab. Keep riding. BTW, Santa Cruz Blur?
yeah, i live in marin too and doesnt it suck that the only good legal singletrack in the birthplace of mtb is like idk fucking china camp. i did say legal though...
Cool ride!

i have a few questions for you, because i am interested in building a trail like this myself.
1. how long did it take you to gain permission to build and was it time consuming for you
2. how long did it take, how many hours (approx.) and how many men worked on it
3. for the north shore style sections, did you use wood/trees you found on the trail, or just cut up 2x4s
4. was it fun?
