I moved to everettMostly XC trails, theres a few freeride hits that are half falling apart. I would head north since your in Arlington.
in this case actually the stinging nettles will just grow all over it and the terrible soil will erode everything you build away in two weeks tops. not that I've tried or anything...If you build it, they will come....
Even from Everett, drive to Galbraith, is worth it. I live in Lynnwood and I drive up there when I get a chance, even after work.I moved to everett
i've got a lot of time on my handsI live and now work 2 minutes from Japanese Gultch *and* other gultches under development.
Japanese Gultch will live another day to see freeriders again.

Yes sir (er... "father")i've got a lot of time on my hands
lets build son
some one is rebuilding the big step up and the drop. i wonder who it could be?Got out and did some trail maintenance today. Fun fun. It is staying lighter out every day now.
At Japanese Gulch, I'd like to see the big step up fixed and some of the area around it repaired. Other than that, I don't know why anyone would bother with the West side of the gulch. It is way to wet and always overgrowing to really keep anything long term going.
The one trail heading down the East side is pretty fun all things considering, but what in the frigging world is going on with those steep and short, mostly un-ridable cutbacks here and there? Must have started out as a running trail?
Well, as much as I'd like to take the credit, I have yet to be out at Japanese Gulch this spring. As someone is already taking the lead, let's all get out there one afternoon and get at least one line going. The main trails are already plenty established and won't really need much work. Anything "fun" should utilize some of the existing run down stuff or perhaps some new terrain (on the dry side).some one is rebuilding the big step up and the drop. i wonder who it could be?
Agreed, although I do like a little bit of Crazy. I liked that old line down the West side with the gaps and the final big drop. It was always a little slick at the bottom which made the process a bit hairy sometimes.bout time, hopefully it gets rebuilt right and not all crazy style like before.
oh i think it will be rebuilt right. you know all aptos like.bout time, hopefully it gets rebuilt right and not all crazy style like before.
Cool cool, summer is coming and Japanese gulch really needs some buffing.I'm new to the area and would love to get in on some building and/or maintenance. Freeride and dh preferrably but I'm up for anything. xc could can lead to dh.
I live 10 mins away...Cool cool, summer is coming and Japanese gulch really needs some buffing.
