Well, not technically my backyard, but I basically live at the bottom of the hill I moved here about a year ago when I had just got into mountain bikes a couple months before. I've basically learned how to ride here, lotsa bruises, and it's been an awesome experience.

Sadly, I'm moving away this month about 30 miles away so I wanted to shoot my favorite line down the hill. Last Sunday my friend came out and we shot a lil clip so I could have a good memory of it.

Thats quite the trail to have in your backyard man. Solid riding. What a place to learn to shred.
Do you hike that or shuttle it?

It's gnarly in the summer - super dry and loose. Also so many loose rocks, it's a horrible place to crash, the ground is not forgiving at all - I have all the burns and scars to prove it

Both.. it's very easy to hike up. Hike from bottom to top in about 10-20 minutes depending on the fitness level and route taken. Shuttle in car is about 2-3 minutes one way.
