Treelines Builds Trails

A documentation of the work we have been putting in over the last few years on our new line. A bunch of different days all spun into one. We dig, drink, eat, and ride only the best. For most of our crew, this is a way of life. Dedicated to the dedicated trail builders. You know who your are. Music by Stars, & Deer Tick.

In my oppinion this should get VOD. I Know Therse not a lot of riding involved and the video is not really focused on the riding. But this shows true passion and dedication for the trails.

treelinesnw (Dec 13, 2011 at 20:41)

Thanks man, my external hard drive crashed, and I had to cut the video short. Keep an eye out for Part 2, more building and more shredding.

oldandintheway (Dec 14, 2011 at 11:13)

Video's good, but it could probably use some cumin.

treelinesnw (Dec 14, 2011 at 11:33)

yeah man for sure. I think I will stick with fajitas from now on.

**trail tacos**mmmmm...Great vid!! Great trail!! much respect!! trails dont build themselves..

ship-it-fed-ex (Dec 27, 2011 at 20:23)

Your guys work is very inspirational Ive been digging on the Vancouvers North Shore for years now, everytime I watch your videos it makes me eager to go work on my trail. I would love to make a trip out there to dig with you guys someday!

treelinesnw (Dec 28, 2011 at 7:36)

Thanks man! Check in this summer, hoping to have the line ready by then.... Diggin trail in the woods is what Treelines is all about!!!

ship-it-fed-ex (Dec 28, 2011 at 17:20)

Awesome if you guys are ever on the Shore let me know we can ride some trail!!!!!!

i want nothing more than to live this lifestyle.

treelinesnw (Jan 17, 2012 at 13:29)

Go get it man. We all still have day jobs, this is just what we do every spare minute.

outlaw7x77 (Jan 26, 2012 at 18:05)

Were just starting to kick in trails here in Wilkeson Washington. Mostly just throwing branches out of the way. This video rocks... I'll be 50 years old in May. Building trails makes me feel like I'm 15. We went out the other day after the Ice Storm and OMG we have tons of work ahead but will gladly do it so we have someplace to ride. If you are ever out in Orting, Washington...stop by Trailside Cyclery and say hey. This video make us all full of envy and is sooo inspirational. Plus that is the most bad assed van I think I have ever seen.

treelinesnw (Jan 29, 2012 at 13:23)

Thanks man! I will be sure to swing in next time I'm out that way. Stoked to here you guys are getting after it. Be patient and don't rush your trail. We have been working on this for 3 years now, but the pay off will last much longer.

trekriderOWS16 (Jan 30, 2012 at 19:13)

hahah gotta finish highschool first. but thats the plan!

BMCrider (May 8, 2012 at 11:24)

VOD

musclemilk (Jun 7, 2012 at 5:11)

2.21 .... hope you cleaned that up you dirty basterds lol

treelinesnw (Jun 7, 2012 at 7:23)

Oh yes we did! www.pinkbike.com/photo/6733570

scoooosh (Dec 13, 2011 at 11:21)

Wow amazing dedication towards riding and a brilliant film, so what if its not all riding this is truely insane how much effort and dedication you put into this! And not forgetting the style and speed you add to the trail! :-)

treelinesnw (Dec 13, 2011 at 20:51)

Yeah we build with speed in mind. Taller berms and roller coaster style benching.

Dominator13 (Dec 16, 2011 at 9:32)

I've been looking at your building pics for awhile now and it has inspired me to do few things locally. You really do put your heart into your work and it shows. Keep up the great work! Big props and can't wait for Chapter 2.

treelinesnw (Dec 16, 2011 at 9:43)

Thanks man! Building is just as fun as shredding to me. Either way your out in the woods or hills, and you gotta put in the work to have good trails. Get after it man!

bikingthomas (Dec 14, 2011 at 17:26)

No wonder you always bring the food. I'd bring sandwiches too if I could make them that fast! That last batch of fajitas were killer. Not too many dudes pack cast iron skillets into the woods. Sick footage bro. Can't wait for part 2. VOD!

warganicc (Jan 16, 2012 at 13:16)

yeah i figured it was about time i just said Thanks! you guys got it goin on! its people like you guys that that made me realize its time to get my shit together and get out and dig, and then once your out there you realize its its just as fun as riding your bike but maybe more gratifying because its something that your sharing. So again i just want to say Thanks!

dirtchurner (Jan 16, 2012 at 14:53)

AS a lone trail digger (who can bribe a few friends now and then to dig alongside), I can appreciate the hard work demonstrated in this video. I sure am glad my wife loves me enough to let me invest 8 to 10 hours a week in my continuing shoveling path into bliss. Good job guys, good JOB!

treelinesnw (Jan 16, 2012 at 17:00)

Yes, I am lucky to have a wife that shares me with the forest too!!!!

Dally666 (Jun 4, 2012 at 20:21)

Loved, loved this vid. All the elements here. Digging chocolate trails through lush forest, respect to the tools, crazy awesome features, killer riding, hanging out with friends, fire and carne asada. Looks like a perfect day. My bike, Excalibur (my shovel) and I would love to spend the day contributing to the life. Big props guys!

crag222 (Jan 9, 2012 at 0:50)

@treelinesnw sorry pal i dont agree i have fast rocky/rooty/tech trails with big jumps on them that have been there for the last 15 years, im not saying what your doing is wrong, i just find fast and smooth boring sorry, its your trail do as u like, if your gonna post then its fair for us all to comment weather it be neg or poss,

treelinesnw (Jan 9, 2012 at 6:43)

at Crag222. fast and smooth is not always boring.

www.pinkbike.com/video/151942

courtneypool-78 (Jan 12, 2012 at 10:13)

That is a sick trail and definitely proof that Fast and Smooth is not boring. I enjoy technical as well but what really gets my adrenaline pumping is Fast Smooth and lots of air-time!

monnyridesit (Jan 16, 2012 at 11:40)

verry cool vid im envious.i live and build in a dryer climat in SE washington we depend on fall and spring and an ocasional summer rain to build with dirt so are trails are a mixture of wood and dirt and sagebrush. I under stand the passion.keep it flowing.

treelinesnw (Jan 16, 2012 at 11:42)

I've seen the conditions over there. It looks difficult to work, I guess you do what you can developing your own techniques that work. We are very lucky to have the forest and dirt like we have here.

ochilfreerider (Jan 30, 2012 at 10:58)

Brillliant video,
My track was just wiped out by storms recently and is in dire need of repair ... After seeing this video all i want to do is fire up the chainsaw and go re-buildin !
Re affirmed my want/need to build, lol
Thanks guys

treelinesnw (Jan 30, 2012 at 11:51)

Stoked to here that man. One of the reason I filmed and posted is to get others hyped up and keep my own motivation up. Keep a photo journal of your trail work so you can view it when your not in the woods to keep the stoke going.

JoeBaker (Oct 26, 2012 at 8:00)

i wish i had the land and dedicated helpers like you do, my friends ride at dirt jump parks and when/if they come and help they will stand there leaning on the spade saying things like "you need to hack out those roots" or "you could build a really nice burm there" or what really drives mine mad is when they say "that jumps shit" drives me insane!

Keith-Sweat (Dec 13, 2011 at 21:58)

Nice, traditional PNW Trailday BBQ. You guys should also start selling those stickers and shirts. I know of plenty of people that would be willing to support a dedicated trail crew.

treelinesnw (Dec 14, 2011 at 7:06)

Thanks man! When you spend 6-8 hours digging for fun, you still gotta eat. May as well eat good.

Keith-Sweat (Dec 16, 2011 at 22:02)

Oh yeah, we keep a couple cows worth of beef in the freezer for such occasions. Or just for the hell of it.

fanatikaddict (Dec 15, 2011 at 11:04)

VOD..! The only way we have trails to film people ride is because of the dedication of awesome people. Great job Adam and the Treelines Crew

treelinesnw (Dec 15, 2011 at 11:10)

Thanks Mac and Shuttlenuts for the support and help on building this awesome line.

skogsmulle101 (Jan 20, 2012 at 5:04)

Like it

we´re doing it at home too in Sweden, i love the life

Never used a machine...slowly we´re getting the lines done, having fun

having fun is just the thing yknow

konashredder78 (Jun 6, 2012 at 21:59)

Thats a sick vid! I heard you guys come to galby! You should definatly come and build some new Trails there that arent being logged on! That be great!!!! I just want to kill those loggers!!!

Jooken (Dec 13, 2011 at 13:06)

I could watch this forever. Awesome!

caiocrz (Dec 13, 2011 at 18:17)

Trail building videos are cool.

crag222 (Jan 9, 2012 at 11:21)

@treelinesnw that video as just cemented my previous comment's i was bored after 30seconds, hey we all ride bikes you enjoy fast and smooth il enjoy fast and tech
video.mpora.com/watch/AcvGOzewd

treelinesnw (Jan 9, 2012 at 12:31)

Great vid was that you on the bike or were you the filmer? LOL Just cause we build sweet smooth trails doesn't mean we don't shred techy DH lines. North Shore is just over an hour away, and we have hundreds of DH trails in our back yard. Have fun!

mcarswell (Jan 12, 2012 at 7:26)

wish i saw more riders getting out in the woods ,cutting new trails...i live for it. i love digging. sick video guys.

mserko (Jan 16, 2012 at 0:23)

Had the opportunity to ride your last trail and it was one of the best trails I've ever ridden. This looks like it might rival it. Well done gentlemen.

treelinesnw (Jan 16, 2012 at 7:07)

Thanks! Gotta give all that trail credit to Erin and Forest on that one. Those guys are the reason I/we build. If it wasn't for godfather Hartford, we would still be making shitty skid lines into trees. The goal is to build this trail the same style and attention as the old one, but longer and sicker.

schilly (Jan 16, 2012 at 11:35)

RIP old trail. Was my favorite in WA. Hope to get the opportunity to ride this sometime! Nice work

monnyridesit (Jan 16, 2012 at 12:30)

ya thats true,if you have a true passion for mt bikeing one does what they can with where and what they got.I work construction so meterials are easy to comby.

mountguitars (Jan 16, 2012 at 15:18)

this should be VOD! props to the guys involved with building trails everywhere. we owe it all to you guys.

norrisj2014 (Jan 16, 2012 at 16:51)

In New England its all rocks in the dirt! I borrow some dirt thats "Pure" for my jumps so it's not like a rock garden when I hit it.

jumpbikejames (Jan 31, 2012 at 8:47)

VOD man, me thinks its about time for me and afew mates to have a building day like that!

LaceAnchors (May 30, 2012 at 8:21)

This video is awesome! Now I have to get a bike really soon. Honestly that makes me want to ride just as much as any other video! Good stuff.

mtb24-7 (Jun 5, 2012 at 19:03)

It's really sick when they light that fire and you can see the fire burn down the wood.

gussyhilly (Dec 13, 2011 at 11:18)

you got a sick van!!!

treelinesnw (Dec 14, 2011 at 18:03)

Radical-Trials (Dec 13, 2011 at 11:59)

Thumbs up. Good work !!!

Missionxro (Dec 13, 2011 at 22:15)

I love this video, they say it takes time to build the perfect trail....but it looks like they got it with no problem!

jaacck (Dec 14, 2011 at 14:38)

Wow guys this is sooo sick, amazing trail, huge inspiration!

lowertrail (Dec 15, 2011 at 21:46)

trail looks good, tacos look like they could use some sour cream or guak or something

treelinesnw (Dec 16, 2011 at 9:07)

Good call Taylor! Next time your up to throw some dirt, bring some of that would ya. just kidding, we had toppings, they just weren't in the shot.

Bjammin (Dec 16, 2011 at 19:18)

Your Lifestyle. I want it.

Sarkons (Dec 16, 2011 at 20:50)

Sweet video man! That trail looks amazing.

c-bernier (Dec 18, 2011 at 21:04)

Spec-Rider (Jan 8, 2012 at 17:42)

couchslouch (Jan 9, 2012 at 14:33)

TomMurphy (Dec 13, 2011 at 11:14)

I want your life.

Harry-hislop (Dec 13, 2011 at 15:21)

want to come and build a track for me

treelinesnw (Dec 13, 2011 at 20:38)

Hey man ya never know. We gotta finish a few projects first.

Harry-hislop (Dec 13, 2011 at 22:37)

Sure.........just a few problems 1. I live in australia 2.I'm 12 years old 3.I don't think i'll have enough momey for it

treelinesnw (Dec 14, 2011 at 7:07)

Well, sounds like you have the time to start building your own sweet track. If you start now you be old enough to drive shuttles when it is finished.

DhhSimRiderr (Dec 13, 2011 at 15:50)

Wish that'd be my dog!

treelinesnw (Dec 28, 2011 at 7:48)

Yep, she is a great dog, and loves to hang in the woods building trails or ripping laps. If you watch my other vids, you will see she is right there ripping her own lines. Don't leave home with out her.

guigui333 (Mar 9, 2013 at 10:43)

i bet she loves beer

powmaster (Dec 16, 2011 at 6:06)

Its all in a days work or a few years

shredwhiteandblue (Jan 10, 2012 at 20:49)

really enjoyed watching this. really got me stoked to go build

treelinesnw (Jan 10, 2012 at 20:56)

Rad, that is why I take the time to shoot some film when were digging. I get so hyped to build trail, It's a whole different thing aside from riding. The more I dig, the more I get stoked about riding it. And the more I ride, the more I get stoked to dig.

shredwhiteandblue (Jan 10, 2012 at 21:02)

couldnt have put it better myself. there's something about riding your own creations that just make a ride so much sweeter

DRussell1999 (Jan 12, 2012 at 6:40)

wish my dog was like that!!

octalex (Jan 12, 2012 at 9:43)

trail tacos

courtneypool-78 (Jan 12, 2012 at 10:58)

OH, and by the way how do I get a job at Treelines! ; )

treelinesnw (Jan 12, 2012 at 11:54)

Treelines is still in it underground phase. Created to generate support for builders and revenue for trails. Once gone public a percent of every piece of clothing will go back to the local trail or trail crew of the the retailer's choice. Best way to get in is to build sweet lines. Thanks!!!

ryansimonovich (Jan 16, 2012 at 22:36)

Trail tacos sound amazing! You guys are an inspiration!

You guys want any help digging? Love to join the effort.

squatchtrailbuilder (Mar 6, 2013 at 20:41)

how long did it take to build that trail

Dher3456101 (May 31, 2013 at 4:51)

This deserves VOD hands down

PRBikes (Feb 19, 2023 at 9:22)

This shows that trails dont build them selves.Nice work boys!

crag222 (Jan 17, 2012 at 11:02)

your all scared of the gnar

treelinesnw (Jan 19, 2012 at 15:21)

We got the gnar and we got the smooth. We ride it all man. get over it.

crag222 (Jan 12, 2012 at 12:20)

@courtneypool-78 i find most people with shit bike skills go for the easy option

treelinesnw (Jan 19, 2012 at 15:22)

You don't even know how to reply to the right comment. you must be new here.

Below threshold threads are hidden

crag222 (Jan 7, 2012 at 13:40)

why are all canadian/american trails smooth and easy ...yawn bed time boring

treelinesnw (Jan 8, 2012 at 10:19)

smooth equals fast and allows for bigger jumps and taller berms! we have rocks and roots on our steep lines at the top of the hill. You have to build to match your grad of drop. And trails like these last a very long time.

courtneypool-78 (Jan 12, 2012 at 10:36)

I don't understand why some people think that smooth and fast is boring. I think just the opposite. I guess its just a matter of preference, but I enjoy the features that TLsnw mentioned big jumps and tall berms. I personally don't like fall-line, rutted out- jar you to death, 203mm of travel required Trails. Now I do like technical and feature driven difficulty. You know, obstacles that you remember! But when you just have a rutted rocky trail it's really just devoid of any character, like a endless rock garden of misery. I find that boring.

oldandintheway (Jan 16, 2012 at 19:27)

You got it, cp78. I prefer smooth trails that have heaps of flow. Grar trails are good though, as long as they have good flow. I guess it just comes down to the flow. Rythm and flow, ftw!

bikingthomas (Jan 16, 2012 at 22:26)

Any trail is fun if it has good flow. This one has the best flow around. It's like riding a roller coaster. Jumps are sweet but all of my fondest riding memories are corners and sweet, sweet flow.
