what does surfing have to do with best DH riding? And it seems like the west coasters are much more closed minded about their trails and such.
yeah thats what it sounds like. i know that most new englanders enjoy riding almost anywhere because of the diversity in trails but it seems that the west coasters need to have the trails be exactly like the trails they always ride for them to be content.motomike said:what does surfing have to do with best DH riding?

what ??chicodude said:you guys are mad because you guess live on the east coast. It's okay.

yeah, i guess avoiding all those militant hikers with their walking sticks, would definately add to the techincal aspest of your trails.zmtber said:techness we have some of the most techness trails around just here in sb
That's only in ONE TOWN in the west. Dealing with rednecks going shooting in the woods must add to the thrilling nature of your trails in Tennessee.dhbuilder said:yeah, i guess avoiding all those militant hikers with their walking sticks, would definately add to the techincal aspest of your trails.
that it does, that it does.Bicyclist said:That's only in ONE TOWN in the west. Dealing with rednecks going shooting in the woods must add to the thrilling nature of your trails in Tennessee.
I have yet to make it to Idaho or Utah but Colorado is really lacking anything technical.Bicyclist said:For technical, don't forget about Colorado or Idaho.
I thought the same thing. However while Telluride's race course isn't that tech, that mountain has some steep-a$$ tech trails built by the locals. They have a freeride feel and wouldn't race well.DHCorky said:I have yet to make it to Idaho or Utah but Colorado is really lacking anything technical.
haha cali/west coast has such a big varity of trails, and we ride them all...like someone said before just cali is bigger then most of new england.gnurider1080 said:yeah thats what it sounds like. i know that most new englanders enjoy riding almost anywhere because of the diversity in trails but it seems that the west coasters need to have the trails be exactly like the trails they always ride for them to be content.
not true the east coast suck...hahaahdhbuilder said:like i said earlier. it's all good. no matter where we live. just be happy we all have the ability and places to ride.
naw, that just means your trails are more crowded than ours.we don't have to worry about running up on slow pokes like you.B_LOWrider said:not true the east coast suck...hahaah
Just look at the poll we're wining
hahah its probably true.....but we're still better and im not thattttt slowdhbuilder said:naw, that just means your trails are more crowded than ours.we don't have to worry about running up on slow pokes like you.
Too bad we have WAY more space, so we're probably less dense. Where I ride I have NEVER been stuck behind someone other than some of my riding buddies.dhbuilder said:naw, that just means your trails are more crowded than ours.we don't have to worry about running up on slow pokes like you.
You forgot the other thousand miles of east coast between NC and Florida, where all those things are true as well.Bicyclist said:Granted, there are more lifts in the east but it's just better out here in general. People are laid back and there are lots of cool towns. Our cars don't rust, we don't really have to worry about snow, and we can ride all year long. So there. :eviltongu
where do the best skiers come from, the east or the west?Bicyclist said:We also have way better skiing and snowboarding. You can't even try to argue that one.
Yeah there are good trails on Cape Cod, they are good but, I would have to kill you after I showed them to you.carbuncle said:People keep telling me there are good trails on Cape Cod (where I grew up) now, but I'll believe it when I see it. Besides there's no freaking Lyme disease or horrifying proliferation of deer ticks. That alone tips my hand to the west side, and then there's the year round riding, and all the other aspects I posted earlier.
bingo. and nebulous terms like "east" and "west" are rendered meaningless when trying to envelop several hundred thousand square miles.I Are Baboon said:I wonder how many people who are voting have actually ridden on both sides of the country. I've ridden out west just a few times, and it's just different than what I'm used to on the east.
the trail of tears is one of the most fun xc trails that i have ever ridden. its super fast and flowy. you just put it in the big ring and fly through the woods. i love the natural berms that are all over the place there. check it out if you are ever back in the area.carbuncle said:People keep telling me there are good trails on Cape Cod (where I grew up) now, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Such as Bode Miller or the Egan Brothers or even look where some of the Big Line rippers are from...narlus said:where do the best skiers come from, the east or the west?
You Got That Right!, And I can't decide either and I actually live and ride closer to the middle...RhinofromWA said:The best place to ride is where you are at.
Someone else already blew it, so I'll just say Trail Of Tears is the same one that was talked up to me by my cousin. I just remember that the last time I was riding regularly there, the only stuff open was the power lines. Woohoo, power lines... Personally, I love the Bell's Neck conservation area on the Harwich/Dennis line, and there are a ton of trails in there that I grew up putzing around on as a kid. If you poked around in there, did some loops, got creative with where you went in and came out you would get a good few miles in, and see the only things I like about the Cape any more.Superdeft said:I have relatives on CC and I've taken a bike up there a few times, but never really found any great trails myself. Care to enlighten me with a PM?
No doubt a lot of great skiers are from the East Coast.DH biker said:Such as Bode Miller or the Egan Brothers or even look where some of the Big Line rippers are from...
East Coast Baby...
okay, chalk one vote up for Camp Miserable.offtheedge said:Any place that gets you away from the redundant idiocies of these forums and on your bike is heaven.
Kansas would be an improvement!
