Video: Cascadian Rip with Matt Patterson
 | Located 25 miles east of Seattle, is the once sleepy little logging town of Snoqualmie WA, nestled in the foothills of the Cascades and home to a growing community of outdoor lovers. These days it's Seattle suburbanites, that's why I moved here to raise a family and be closer to nature's playground. What most people don't know about Snoqualmie is that it's also located smack dab in the middle of some of the best riding in the country, Cascadia. An abundance of zones are literally within riding distance of town. Giving us more places to build, ride, and race year-round than I can shake my proverbial stick at. As we say goodbye to summer, and fall treats us to dirt with seemingly limitless traction, we welcome winter, which re-starts the cycle of building, training and preparing for another epic year of riding ahead. |
As fall slowly begins to take effect on the woods, Enjoy Matt, "product testing" a new trail he and his team "The Dirt Corps" built which captures the essence of Cascadia trail riding. Hero dirt snaking through lush fern-carpeted forests.
| I gotta give a shout out to my Dirt Corps team members for sacrificing precious ride time to work on trails, especially Dan Saimo and Jay Gore for such great times digging, man-handling rocks, and savoring hops in the woods together, while we toiled over our collective creative vision. |
Team Dirt Corps proudly represents and appreciates the support of:

Will O - you listening? I'm available for future launch vids in exotic locations. =)
It is reasonable to think that everyone should be allowed their opinion to media that they see on here and other sites, so here is mine.
Your opening line and attitude within your comment is everything that is wrong with certain elements of the pinkbike community and in life. Full of pint half empty instead off full outlooks and unfounded easy typing, void of any real thought process.
Matt Patterson is one of the nicest guys in Mountain Biking, who has gone out of his way to create an edit, showcasing his local trails and his style of doing business. Now that might not fit in with your 'stereotype' of where Enduro should be but to many, this is a superb representation. This is the beauty of our sport, it can be taken left and right of arc and nobody should ever be pigeon holed into a 'word' or what should be 'expected' of them.
Maybe next time have a little think about how you construct a comment and try to find a little respect, maybe even understanding for other peoples take on something that comes in many different forms.
Matt, sublime edit as always ace,
All the best,
Lee.
Also funny how Fall City is now Snoqualmie.
Cmon guys.
As for being a loose c*nt... THANKS!
