The video had no music at 1st then it was added later. Kinda cool.
Last year we got approval to re-route some trails and shaped a new one that is now lower #15. We are spending alot of time on that as it's one that we made. The plans for that trail are for 2 big drops, a big a$$ teeter and a log ride. This trail may be named "the northeast shore".
Also, since w'face was originally allowed only 27 trails and 4 of them are really service roads, i really think we can add some new singletrack. Maybe this year as there was talk of eliminating the little bit that's on the ski trails and have almost 100% singletrack.
More photo's of ongoing projects to be posted soon.

cool trail. Took me awhile to figure out the music is a cello rendition of Tools Lateralus.

Yep. I've got the CD, it's pretty cool.

I liked the music but I wasn't a fan of the vid as much. Helmet Cam hurts me.

Mike, what's your rental fleet looking like this year? My bro doesn't have his own ride and needs to rent. WF is a good sorta middle location for the two of us to meet.
