This video claims to be from "near North Bend, WA". Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

Looks like it is at least in this area. It appears to be a trail called "27".

Not looking to spoil anyone's fun. I was just surprised that this was in my own back yard. I hope these sorts of secrets spots can continue to exist and cheers to all of the folks out there building them. Keep up the good work and keep the cool videos coming.

Don't get us wrong... it's awesome that stuff like that is around here, we're glad you're excited about it, and if you PM someone we'd be happy to tell you where it is. We just want to keep it on the down low and off the forums, if you catch our drift.

That trail got torn down i was just up there yesterday and DNR was up there with trucks and chainsaws. I think there gonna start ticketing anyone else up there.

I don't believe any of you
yea im pretty skeptical myself
Nick is right and if any of you wanna second guess me I have a $238 trespassing ticket plus a $39 parking ticket to shut you up. It absolutely sucks. I've been riding that trail since I was 14. It was the first real freeride trail I ever rode and it was radical. It just got blown up. Elemental and all those guys ruined it for all the rest of us. It became a freeway. Save yourself the time and go ride exit 25.
This is the first time I ever rode the ol trail (RIP)

I think Juice and the DNR guys walked that trail about 2-3 years ago when the BBTC was trying to sell them on legit FR stuff. Oly's right, the cat's been out of the bag for years. I even did a WTA trail college work party on a section of the old line like back in '01 or something like that. If it is gone, I'd like to know what was the final straw. The DNR or FS or whomever owns the land has been pretty cool about leaving it be for a long time.
But, yeah, filming there, the Youtube vids, etc,are what were it's demise. I personally had 4-5 people from around the country ask me about the videos. Some were actually told it was really on the North Shore which is/was a good ruse to misdirect people.
As for what's left and what's coming up, try not to film and post every where. That does more damage for access than some noob just asking on this forum.
And contact Justin or Jon at the BBTC and stop talking and get involved to get some legal stuff here so we don't have to keep having these threads.

Thinking you can keep trails on the dl for eternity is kinda like thinking that there's not anything goin on here.
http://www.malnurturedsnay.net/batmanrobin/batman+robin.jpg
Doesn't matter what group or bike shop steps up, but support the legitimate to get to the bona-fide trails.
There is success being had in Oregon with Hood, and Falls and there is success being had with Port Angeles and Bellingham. BBTC, WHIMPS, STM who cares as long as we have more places to ride, and more options of trails.
2 top members of the club went to bat for the trail at least. Maybe others tried too? Or were they too busy trying to keep it on the dl...

soo thats it? its done? Id like to know what made em do it because they have been letting it slide for awhile now. I think we should all get out there and have like a funeral or something. And no more of this dl stuff. You dont think the forest service knows every exit like it the back of their hand? I wouldnt be surprised if they knew every riding spot out there. Its time to stop the illegal trails and get some good legit stuff and try to work with the forest service. Sorry for the loss eric.

This has ruined countless freeride/downhillers' day. There are enough of us out there that we have a good chance at getting an awsome trail "like the one we just lost" somewhere close if we unite and are very persistant. We can also get backing from the bbtc and build a quality trail. I am researching this and will contact the department of natural recources to see what we need to do. We need a legit trail.

05-30-2007, 11:46 PM
if this is true it really sucks. I guess I'm second-guessing whether this is legit because I've head the trail was on private land. I guess the way to confirm is to head out there myself :disgust1:

05-31-2007, 03:13 PM
I agree, we all need to get together and fight for a legit freeride trail. There's enough of us out there that they can't just get rid of us. If we can't get a legal trail, people will keep building illegal ones. Hopefully someone will see that, and help us get a good legal freeride trail system.

ya all this is true, I went up to try and take some pics and i was taking them when a DNR guy named steve called me out. He called me a sorry little b**ch and took my camera and made me delete all the pictures then proceeded to laugh at me while i cried and then he took a piss on what used to be a jump. It's a sad day in mountain biking.
Fixed that for you.....
And contact Justin or Jon at the BBTC, put the bong down, stop talking and get involved to get some legal stuff here so we don't have to keep having these threads.

This is serious buisness. After school i went up there to cry a little and i talked with the lead supervisor Pat MaCrotch. MaCrotch was much more understanding than Steve was and said Steve would be written up for his vulgarity. Still MaCrotch said there was nothing he could do he was under strict orders to as he put it about the trail , " tear that **** up". He said too many kids were going up there and "getting hella gnarly" and that it simply was a safety risk along with tresspassing. He also said that they were going to start and investigation to try and find out who's been riding there and would be ticketing them.
kirklandfreride
05-31-2007, 05:46 PM
well im going to try and get up there friday and mourn. Is it being logged or are they just tearing it down because of the liability ****? But it would be great to designate an exit for a network of freeride and downhill trails. If we could all come together and organize as a group, get the green light from whoever it is that appoints these kinds of things and start building this summer it would be great. Someone just lost 6-7 years of hard work and as long as there are illegal trails this will continue to happen.

I was out at 38 today and most of the lower trails are gone, they are cutting the trees down to put in a parking lot for all the climbing that goes on out there, apparently they are getting behind that. I also went up to snoqualmie pass to see whats going on up there and all the trees were gone and they were doing some major demo work on all the rock formations. I asked one of the construction workers, a Mr. Andreu McBurny and he told me that the pass decided that because of the lack of vertical and good terrain that they are going to grade the hill and work on making the groomers world class. They workers already went through most of the woods at summit central and all the old trails are gone. Very depressed I thought Id go to 25 and get in some comfort rips and low and behold Rline and the new S line are all cut down for homes. So i figured I'd go to Monroe to hit some dirt jumps and they were all torn down. So after my horrible day (I cryed today) I went home and bought a skate board. Skrew all you guys and your bikes I'm gonna go hop on ledges.

plus we were at duvall today and this jackass called the forest service on me. The guys name was ben dover and he told me to bend over but I hopped on my bicycle and shreded the gnar away. close call. but i still got a ticket for $238 and a parking violation for $78. there is absolutly no place to ride anymore. im so pissed right now all our trails are f'd.

Way worse: we were up in Whistler this weekend and I heard that they are going to close the park to downhill operations, just like Mammoth! I guess it is getting in the way of the VANOC construction and is too much nuisance for too little return compared to the olympics so they are going to restrict the lifts to bikes with less than 130mm of travel and, get this, they will carry riders only down! All the trails that can't be turned into uphill-friendly singletrack are going to be nuked, and the only way a bike will be allowed on the lift is if you ride up to the Fitsimmons station and need to come back down. They are banning all armor and full face helmets (hence the nearly mandatory lift ride down) and they are going to smooth out b-line and EZ Does It, connect them at the top and bottom and pave them to make a crazy rail trails race course for road bikes! WTF?
