Video: Braydon Bringhurst Attempts to Climb Squamish's Most Famous Slab Trail
@loam2home: funnily enough one of the trails in the video is built by a lazy E-biker ;)

I think I need to put a Square Payment reader on my trail (the 'other' one) so all the people / businesses who monetize it can help with tools / beer.... The permit that you got (and told me in load tones) probably paid for a District Of Squamish Bylaw Officer for two hours. A big loss all-round :D

Replay: Crankworx Whistler Rhapsody Slopestyle Finals
I loved the one fingered salute. Switched off and going digging.

"The production frames that we will build for you will be exactly the same as the pre-production ones. We won't try and cut corners to increase our profit. No way!"

The MegaVolt eMTB Festival Moves to Squamish This October
As one of the volunteers, I could say that about any commercial event being held here. Even the 'social' rides smash the trails. Would be nice if Megavolt hosted a trail day though.

Review: Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox
I always find it amusing that Commencal don't use carbon for 'environmental' reasons, yet stuff their frames full of Chinese electronics.

The course looks like it's from 1992.

SORCA & Tourism Squamish Launch $10,000 Trail Maintenance Matching Campaign
@MrDuck: shots fired LOL! Gotta love Squamish trail building politics / hatred :D
FWIW I think SORCA and 'the others' for the most part do great work, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask why so many resources are put into certain projects when money is tight. Sometimes 'half-assed' is the most logical approach when faced with big tasks and finite budget and time. Half-assed for life :D

SORCA & Tourism Squamish Launch $10,000 Trail Maintenance Matching Campaign
@cervo: Just to add that it looked like the previous builder rebuilt the jump in question over two years ago, and was continuing to tweak the trail for free. I only rode both versions of the trail once, so I'm pretty unbiased (really). The new version is great, but safe for the beginners who ride Pt1? It's now a completely different trail. If safety was the issue, it should have been made easier not harder! Sorry, something just doesn't add up.....
