It is official, El Niño has hit Central California and every known trail has turned into its very own river. Built over three weeks and filmed in two days, Christian Wright, Tanner Leslie, and Simon Silver show that when there isn't a trail that fits your needs, you just have to build one... Just make sure you're not breaking any laws and ask the landowners first!
Great lil Vid.... But considering the hundreads of regular use riders that enjoy these trails weekly, i wish i would see more of the riding community pick up shovel now and then, i rarely see anyone other than myself and my best friend on rainy days out here..
So THANK YOU diggerandrider, may you always have hero dirt under your wheels...
Anyone that rides San Diego and is bummed about Teds being dozed, please contact SDMBA, they've got some stuff in motion. It's a slow process but SD needs something that's legal and fun (emphasis on jumpy airborn fun).
Props to all the SD riders out there that own a shovel and use it - keep fighting the good fight!
the fucking irony, your handle is literally freeride junkie. I guess you don't understand the concept of freeride bud. Also they aren't smashing through berms on a commonly used public trail, they're riding their trail as they designed it to be ridden. The ride it don't slide it argument is much more important to beginning riders riding trails too difficult for them and creating ruts. An experienced rider using drifts for style is a totally different thing.
you need to chill brotha. i made my account when i was 14 years old thats why my name is what it is. we grow up, we move on. its clearly a joke. but your just another kid with a 10k bike bought by daddy dropping bombs over the internet. slow ya roll jr and pay for your own tires and get a few more miles under your legs.
I was fortunate to have connections that made my used bike affordable for me. Also my parents are stingy when It comes to spending money on me so I have paid for about four-fifths of my bike. Also, I pointed out the flawed nature of your comment and you tried to derail me by telling me I haven't ridden enough to understand? You're 22, so unless YOU are living on your parents money, I assume you have moved out and work a job to pay for rent, taxes, bills, and food like everyone else. I was lucky to have found biking in a time of my life where I don't have to pay for those things and work much fewer job hours. Therefore I have much more opportunity to ride and progress. I also build in a lot of the time I'm not riding so to say I don't understand what they are doing is the weak argument. Also, the only bombs I'm dropping over the internet are your mom's nudes (I'm young, I still get to say that).
super steep and loose descents - check
riding them with the rear wheel locked up - check
slash down the dirt as if it was snow - check
erode that sucker asap - check
the jumps were cool though and it looks like the parts of the trail where they put in more work will stand the test of time.
remember kids - ride don't slide.
Before anyone decides to over analyze the trail building,
The goal for this trail was minimum input for maximum output. All trails in this particular area get found and get ridden hard. Therefore the intent was to create something natural, steep, and loose to enjoy while it was fresh. Nothing fancy or sustainable just something to get loose on. If anyone disagrees with this philosophy feel free to build your own trails and we'll gladly ride them and critique them.
There's always one of you. I don't know how many times I have to explain this, but the builders of these trails constantly work hard to maintain them, then proceed to have fun on them. Those 3 riders built that trail, let them have fun on their hard work. Rant over.
