    stunt trails

    I race DH, and I would really like to learn to ride shore-style stunts. Could anyone point me towards some trails with easy stunts, other than St. Ed's/Finn Hill? I live in Woodinville, so somewhere in King County would be ideal. Also, I heard about some stunt trails being built in Seattle (not the I-5 park). Have any of you ridden there?

    Re: stunt trails

    If you ever wanna come up to Bellingham my woods sound like they would be perfect for you. The woods are a great place to learn how to do ladders, etc.

    you could always ride the 2 ft tall ones, but just pretend you're really high off the ground...

    actually, riding on curbs (curbs without sidewalks, that is) is a great way to "train" for skinnies. and they're, what, 5 inches off the ground?

    A big percentage of the riders here with what you would percieve as having "mad skills" are old XC dudes. Personally i'd love to check out those XC trails you have up there i hear their pretty cool......

    why should anyone give you directions anywhere man with the attitude you are giving people that are trying to give you some suggestions. also a lot of old xc dudes kill the skinny stuff too ive seen it. just remember that they have probably spent waaaay more time on their bikes than you have

    the majority best skinny riders I know are all ex-xc racers or current xc racers. They have a knack for keeping their bike going in a straight line without even worrying about it

    actually those old xc dudes in the shop that he's referring too really don't know jack about the current state of biking My friend managed to talk 'em out of a brand new p3 for under $400

    Having ridden around anacortes, i am curious as to what are considered the "good" trails.
    What's the square root of this apartment?
