and I'm looking for places to ride and people to ride with. I'm pretty sure my chances of finding other mountainboarders to ride with out here are about the same as finding them back in Pullman, so I figured I'd just do what I did there, and ride with the mountainbikers. So, who wants to show me around the riding spots in this here crazy little town?

I try to stick to #50 and Mima Porter when it's wet. Although I love the berms and chicanes of the Rock Candy area, the motorcycles are a drag and the cinderblocks kinda detract from the experience.

yeah, I'm done. I'll be sure to post when I'm going back there, though, and I will be back to visit. Can't let that cabin trail go a season without some mountainboarding on it.

went for a last minute ride this am. Cap forest is so great. My favorite trail has been forgotten by bikey people though. So overgrown now and I had a tanktop on, so my arms look like I been hanging out with freddy krueger. We are gonna start doing some night rides soon,do you have a light?

How are the capitol forest trails (consistent downhill, options for speed control [wide enough to carve or powerslide?], crowded?) I rode some of them on a mountainbike years ago when I was in scouts, but so far I've only boarded down the road on the east side of fuzzy top.
