Hey guys, just figured i would start a Barrie thread seeing that there is no thread for it yet.tup

And one thing i have noticed is that there is very few riders in Barrie, so we might as well find out who each other are so rides arent so lonely haha

I'm also from Barrie.
I don't usually ride at the skatepark, i'm more into xc/all mountain riding.
The skatepark is by the army base (I think that's what it is). If you're going down Dunlop st. from Central high school, going towards the downtown, there will be a pizza pizza on the main floor of a building on the left side (this is right after Central), take a left there and ride down the street (going north). You should see the skatepark on your left.

The Skatepark is okay, but it gets boring pretty quick. Waterfront has some cool rocks and stuff if you can pull of some trial maneuvers. Other than that I found some crappy DJ out by Futureshop. But thats about all I've found? you guys have any cool secret spots?

great to see im not the only barrie rider on pinkbike Big Grin ,

if anyone knows were mapleview church is (easiest landmark) its like a 5 minute drive from parkplace, once you go past it turn right and theirs a big forest, theirs a pretty good xc trail their with some okay jumps but its nothing spactacular,

if your into xc riding lackies bush is a great place, unless the cops are their since that murder, but if your coming from the entrance adjacent to innisdale ss and the rec center then just follow the widest path out of their and you will be in a big field, theirs a big big hill with like a 10 foot drop thats like 75 degrees and theirs a few good dj jumps their but thats right were the body parts of that girl were found so if you can stand the fact that you might run into a leg or something:P then thats a pretty good place

Found another trail.

its not like drops and jumps and stuff but its a nice ride with tight fast corners.

its near downtown, when you pass the Superstore or whatever its called (big surplus grocery store) and go over some train tracks, then you should see a big grayish building with big pillars, continue across the lights then turn right after that building, theirs a paved path, turn right once you pass the gates, and theirs the trail.
