Clearings a big part of building trail.....so why don't you offer up your services to help?

Also, I highly doubt the British Broadcast Channel is sending folks to help with Duthie........but I could be wrong.

Hahaha - I was wondering when somebody was going to chime in on the BBC thing. I was thinking it might be easier for the CBC to pitch in.

While it sure would be swell to have a large group of volunteers to come in and clear out our lines, it would also be advantageous to the involved trail crews to clear as much as possible on their own. They (volunteers) may have no idea how wide or narrow some sections will be, so they may over-do it in some sections and vice-versa. I guess the bottom line is if people don't get out there and get started then nothing will get done...at least in a somewhat timely manner.

Is that so? Hmmm. Maybe that's why the trails I've worked on suck? Because they weren't cleared. Good Tip.

.....so why don't you offer up your services to help?

I guess I wasn't clear enough when I said I'd LIKE to help, key word being LIKE as I have a regular M-F 8-4 job and it's hard to get time off of work. I will be helping on weekends, however.

On a different note thanks for clearing the BBC thing. Me and a buddy were headed up 27 and I probably just misheard what he said.

Well some trails are good when there not cleared, more steep and you make the trail, Basically just clear the branches and anything dangerous and let nature take its coarse.

Cool deal. I just heard from a dude on Pinkbike that clearing was part of trail building.....not sure though.

Thanks for all that you do.

Cheers,

Ohhhh, crap......ok. The dude on Pinkbike said that to build sicktor gnarbot trails, you should clear them first. I'm going to have to go back to that dude and ask him if he'll explains what that means. I feel pwned and want to learn to build sicktor gnarbot trails......

ebxtreme....before you build sick gnarbot trails you should start with some easy ones! It doesnt sound like you have cleared trail before....Have you ever heard of "Soleil"...?

ha ha

 

[fuzzycatnuts]

So back to the point of this thread, anyone coming out on Saturday to help?

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

FTW!!! Pinkbike is TEH ultimatezors authority on all things gnarzor. Recognize.

Kim - I know there's at least a half-dozen from our crew that plan on being out there Saturday. I'd like to see more/all of us there, but I can't enslave everybody...YET.

 

[DesuL]

My finger is busted up and iin a splint, gunna be hard for me to do anything this weekend again till it heals and i get the doc's ok. i can run some power tools still, I am managing at work, but can't do things likie grip a hammer/shovel or type lol

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

That's a pisser, Dave! Healing vibes your way. What happened? I'm beginning to think that you get off on breaking yourself - you are one sick puppy if that's the case.
You should still come out anyway even if you can't work any tools...we can't have too many minds out there when it comes to on-site ideas. Besides, we're fun people that are cool to be around!

[ebxtreme]

Yep, Soleil is French for "sun".

I think Mutton was trying for Salal.
