If you haven't been there recently, there are some really sweet new things to do there. They have got a couple drops and some jumps - you should really check it out. :D

I was there on Friday from like 6:00pm to dark, I was the one with the big neon green full-face helmet if you where to see me and I ride a Transition Dirtbag. I rode with a guy who rides a Super 8 and a guy with a P2.

Yeah, that place is pretty damn cool...was there today for a few hours....some of the stunts we ran across were thought out very well, but definitely fun to play around on.
How do you get to the Finn Hill part you're talking about? Is it close by to St. Edwards?

finn hill is essentially on the opposite side of juanita drive, the two ways i know is to ride down the road a while (from QFC) and then get in at the park entrane it says 'big finn hill' or if you know where the drops on the steep hill are, (at saint edwards,) go towards the road and the cross and you will need to climb the road for a small ways and there is a trail you can drop into and it will bring you to the baseball feilds of the park, and the trails are all over the place

There has been a lot of work done there and while the jumps and obsticles are nice, still have to remember that area is still a state park. I will probably be there on Tuesday playing around.

no we are not talking about the trails in the actual "big finn hill park" wehre the fields are, we mean the stuff on the opposite side of juanita drive.
we call it the finn hill area becuase as u enter them there is a big sign that says welcome to finn hill park....yes on the "st. edwards" side.

It's mostly mountain biers with big fs bikes that made them, those bmxers rarely show up.
Don't get the wrong ideas!

Ya the first two doubles are easy enough to clear but the third in line is tougher to get over, my friend nose cased that one :dead:

04-18-2004, 10:33 PM
yeah i asked them and they said they made them but i was kinda suspicious, they could ride them though, the first two were made by mountain bikers, i know that, but the kids said they built the last two

Where is all this stuff? I haven't been there in over 3 years. I was thinking about checking it out again. Where is it relative to Finn Hill bike shop?
Ice Bullit

Well the biggest one that I know of could be as big as you want to make it depending on how fast you go. Its a ladder drop to a steep hill thats long so you could go pretty dang far if you have the balls for it. :eek:
The other stuff is approx. 4-6ft but they are still fun to hit. :thumb:

there's a double that's atleast 10-12

looking out the shop window, strait ahead, the jumps are two sections of woods to the left from the one you're looking at

i was planning on hitting that this weekend, but when i got to it the landing was rock hard and rutted and i just had a skate helmet so i decided it wasn't worth it. i went over to the little jump area in finn hill park and hit the 5foot ladder drop. that was easy but pretty fun. saw some guy on a fly there and i was amazed to see he had a bush cheney shirt on!:eek: oh well, his vote isn't going to prevent washington from voting democrat (knock on wood). you'd just think mountain bikers would realize that republicans are taking away our land building all their businesses and houses and stuff.:rolleyes:

Freeridekid = wrong!
Bush = Pro Gun, Pro open trails for everyone to use
Kerry = Anti - Guns, Pro Sierra Club, who feel hikers are the only ones that deserve to use trails since bikes, trucks, motorbikes are the devil. Almost forgot, I think they are pro horses too since they dont do any damage to trails. HA!
Vote Nader!
Why, Protest vote

That's why I don't spend money in your shop. You should know better than to post you personal politics in public forums.:)

great, if trails are open to everyone we can have motorcycles tear up all our mountainbike trails. no candidate is perfect, but bush isn't even close, not to mention on every other issue! that is stupid though if kerry is pro horses cuz they totally ruin trails with their hooves, and all the rich people who ride them think they can do whatever they want. anyways, lets just end the debate right now. i regret ever commenting on the bush shirt, especially since this is just a thread about good ol' st. eds.
