It was this past Saturday, I guess it was a secret...kinda

It was not last saturday. The locals ride there every weekend. They are all a part of a "club" that has permission and access to the land. The gate is locked and your not allowed to ride there without having these guys present.
We went out there and did half day trail work, and the other half ride... about 5-6 runs total. It wasnt really talked about online, so maybe thats what you mean by secret? Theres only so much room in a truck......and it wasnt meant to be a general public come out and ride deal. Sorry.
The trails are in great shape. Had alot of scraping and raking done, and spruced up some berms and jumps. I also got the chance to ride the freeride trails and I was really impressed. I always miss the entrance to limbo as its right before the first booter.. Its marked out better now. The crew out there is doing a great job mixing it up. You now have many options to do aside from the Knuck and the pro course. Expect more goodness to come from up there.
They are still planning one soon, but nothing is confirmed. Stay tuned!
Really? Gee, I was riding out there and nobody told meBikecrasher said:

Ah, that Freeride trail was pretty cool. The first time down the top section was kinda difficult, not knowing what to expect, but the section after the road was greatoly said:
Very raw, nice and tight turns. It's a nice change from the high speed, balls in the throat WK.
Man, all this talk is really making me jonesin to go back...I really hope they have another fling!!! Open open open...

I'm not trying to raise a stink but is that private land?... I've riden there w/o anybody that lives around there before... It's not like I get out that way very often...
It's private land and a mix of DNR land.Str8OutaBallard said:
I believe it is mostly Green Crow property. The roads to get up are private. but some of the trails veer into DNR.Snacks said:
Its not really a public riding spot so-to-speak. The people up there doing the work on the trails have the permission from GC and have cleared it through the DNR.
On that freeride trail I looked at one of the bridges that was built off a live, standing tree and it I didn't see any nails going into the trees, looked like it was braced off of the tree...
sounds well thought out...trailhacker said:On that freeride trail I looked at one of the bridges that was built off a live, standing tree and it I didn't see any nails going into the trees, looked like it was braced off of the tree...
Your suspicions are true, there are nails into a live one. A rookie mistake that will be fixed. That stunt might be removed anyhow. Possibly the entry to the big log ladder as well?? We'll see.

I'm all for another spring fling...
even though I will most likely miss it, like the last 2 years, because of having to work at night that weekend...
They usually have it the weekend after Sea Otter if I remeber right...

Yeah set up and excuse now. Everyone knows that's weekend of the Magic Convention.........Nerd!
Hah hah, A$s Jack... I suppose for somebody like you keeping a 4 MegaWatt power plant running at night is all about "Magic"...Especially when it's 6 ft under water and moving...Tootrikky said:
but hey if the Spring Fling dosn't happen the week it usually does then my truck (and all the bikes in it) ride for free on the ferryboat... but what do you care?, your from Tacoma.
Str8OutaBallard said:
Damn how did you know about my glowing past????..that sh!t is top secret!
Live in West Seattle now days btw.
Well are you gonna ride the Ferryboat or drive around? I guess if you (still) lived in T-town that would be an easy desicision...Tootrikky said:
If you take the Boat I'll either be the guy who kept the Engine Rm power plant online so you can drive your truck on/off it... or I'll be the guy who'll drive the bikes over for free because I work there... so I guess we'll see when the day gets here... so what ever and have a nice day.
Ahh I see...........I used a operate a 150 MW pwr plant 1500 ft under water, and thought you were referring to my past, didn't realize you were an engineer on ferryboats....which btw is pretty cool imo.Str8OutaBallard said:
BTW I didn't mean anything personal by the Magic Comment just trying to be funny, I don't think I even know you, or at least who you are online, might know you at on the trails though!
Peace and Good Night
Good night at 8:50 am? Buring the mid-night oil?Tootrikky said:
I thought he was talking about your sorted past too???
trailhacker said:

Yeah maybe (if luck will have it) I'll run into you at the PA thing... or maybe we've already met at SST most likely?... so did you work on a submarine?Tootrikky said:
