Indy Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2017 Now those are my kind of trails, looks a lot like the stuff around here other than the type of trees. And am I the only person who has never felt the need or desire to do a tail whip off a jump? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted August 28, 2017 Share #12 Posted August 28, 2017 And what's with Oregon riders and having to stop like every minute? Are you guys really in that bad of shape that you need a break every minute of easy riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted August 28, 2017 Share #13 Posted August 28, 2017 Looks like fun but I'd need a rental. Not sure I would tackle that on my HT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you guys really in that bad of shape that you need a break every minute of easy riding. We have to stop and look at the scenery. It is so fucking beautiful. Also, we have to say "whoa...look at that tree." 29 minutes ago, Wilbur said: Ya'll have fun. I will be a Whistler. We can go there too. I have all Summer to screw off. 12 minutes ago, ChrisL said: Looks like fun but I'd need a rental. Not sure I would tackle that on my HT. I saw people on HT. They had a little less fun on the rocky bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the wooded man built trails had some serious drop offs! Yeah and the rocky parts looked a bit painful... Otherwise yeah it looked doable on a HT.

Getting bounced around on rock sections can be tricky though as it's hard to keep the back tire down if you need pedal through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share #19 Posted August 28, 2017 Go pro vids can be deceiving. Most people who ride these trails are on full suspension. The ones that are on HT and rigid are bike packers, mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted August 28, 2017 Share #21 Posted August 28, 2017 Not cool to show wooden structures to the girl who just tore up her knee on a wooden structure. I do a lot of stopping to admire the scenery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
