There is a ton of single track!
The local dh runs are short and are better shuttled
Riding is SIC! in Bend,
Nothing on bachler yet, hood has a park and so does willamite pass
If you move, be sure to bring a bike of all breeds, cause you will use them everyday.

willamatte is 12 bucks for all day, and it is lifted. The riding is more world cup style riding, super fast no pedal style depending on your abilities
Hood has a bit of wood, but not much. Very easy DH course. Not sure on the price though. Things are only going to get better,
The people who own Whistler Blackcomb just bought Bachelor and i heard that they are aiming for hood. Which we are hoping means riding on Bachelor soon!
I completley agree with GmotoT, dirt isnt as great for sure. It takes a bit to to get used to and trust, but then its not too bad, it makes for softer landings though!!...if you can miss the lava rock.
Bend is just f'n awsome! I moved from seattle to here, and i would move to bend in an instant!

Man thats good news. Sounds like Oregon just might be my destination. Hopefully the Whistler folks will move quickly to make Bachelor happen.
On another note I'll be recieving my shockwave9.5 anyday and can't wait to break it in!! Actually I'm sure the bike will break me first. I'll post up some pics when I build it up. Later

problem with bachelor is it is national forrest service....they can get really picky about doing lift accessed biking.....
I hear ya. Well I may have a solution to lift access anywhere in the world. With my well trained llama shuttling services. I figure one llama can hoist around say 3-5 big hit bikes and one rider. No more stinking chairs lifts. The future is the llama. Eco-Lifts. Free fertilizer. There a bit smelly, but hey they will not spit like the camel.
I have and am building a whole bunch of freeride type stuff at my place in Sisters (not far from bend) but i have to do some work on it, cosidering it has not been riden since last summer.
If you are looking to DH. Willamette pass is awsome. The trails are kinda few but really fun and challenging. The facility is great. (resturant, gondola etc.) Highly recomend!!!GmotoT said:
