Are there any riders on here from Utah? Do you know of good freeride trails anywhere outside of the resorts? I know someone has to have built something somewhere...
UTAH REPRESENT!!!! We got ourselves a couple riders here in good ol Cedar City. Best place to bike ever. Brian head isn't far off, Virgin isn't far either, and the community is very chillaxed. I know there is a kid riding a bottlerocket from utah valley. and i got a few friends from up north who are downhillers as well.
My buddy lives in Park City there are some shuttle trails on Gaurdsmans pass. I havent ridden them or know how freeride oriented they are just pointing you in a direction. Provo isnt to far from Park City like 30 minutes right?
Provo has the squaw peak trail as the main downhill ride. A few of my buddies hit that regularly. if you head south to payson canyon you can shuttle bennie creek. Park city is a decent drive away, up the canyon through heber and over.
They are a lot of fun. Deer Valley is all corporate crap though and they won't really listen to there riders for improvement. I haven't seen a new trail there in a couple of years. They are still good though.
I'm hoping to hit some of the resorts again as soon as the snow melts up there. We were given permission to shuttle the trails at Brian Head as soon as the snow melts and before the lifts open so we are stoked for that. Hopefully next summer A few of us are going to try and build a new trail down here.
hey, i'm in provo. yeah, squaw peak is pretty cool and bennie down in payson, but aside from that...there's not a whole lot...some little stuff. hey, i know this is a plug, but i just opened a bike shop in orem that caters to the freeride/downhill market. It's where a shop that used to be called the all-mtn co. used to be. We're called urban downfall cycles and are located behind best buy next to curves. if you're at milo, you can see our shop. the sign looks like a wallride. the address is 327 E. 1200 S. Suite 5. stop in and just say what's up. for the holiday's we'll only be in the shop tues/thur/sat...but after that, we'll be there mon-sat 10-7. we carry transition, black market, canfield, atomlab...and hopefully norco soon. come say what's up.
Sweet thats right near my parents house where I will be for christmas. If you guys are open on christmas eve I want to stop in and see what you've got. I'm sick of stores for giving me weird looks when I ask for downhill equipment.
yeah dude, i'll tell one of the guys to be in there x-mas eve. we don't have a ton yet, just some parts and a few bikes, but we can get anything and we just charge msrp as compared to most of the bikeshops in the area
