Coming to a trail system near you (June 1st)!!!

It's time for some cool stunts at Lebanon Hills.
Like for example:
- 60 feet of elevated 2-foot wide bridging (pucker up)
- Narrow rock gardens, with a tread width so narrow that it looks like pencil-width from atop a bike
- two teeter-totters (ride up - whoo hooo - ride off) at least that's the theory - your riding skills may result in other outcomes
- dirt jumps (work on your BMX skills)
- ride down a BIG rock face (very sustainable)
- log piles (not log crossings, but PILES of logs)
- drops off small rock ledges
- ride up the end of a big log - ride the flat top - hop off the end

We are nearing the end of Phase One of the Park's Master Plan, and for the past year MORC had been working on and meeting with County parks staff, to make the last new trail section a good one. Hope you like what's in store. The trail stunt specifications are taken from the Whistler, BC, Canadian guide for "level 3" expert trails. These WILL NOT be "North Shore" trails, but they will be a version that is suitable for a high use metro trail system. Toned down, but still fun.

All the major obstacles will have an optional bypass to protect the untrained and unpracticed.

Come help us build these new trail features in April and May!
See the trail work posting elsewhere in this forum.

"And what measures are being taken to make sure a 'fun' ride is a 'safe' ride?" he asked innocently, while trying to figure out how to fit a cervical collar into his already stuffed first aid kit?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Ride safe :confused:

Or Walk, or stay away from stuff that's outside of your ability....

Here Dale and Tim work on the bridges for a few new trails at Lebanon Hills. Rumor is they kept trying to call their friends and fellow trail builders, but nobody would answer their F#$)* voicemail :embarass:

Great job you guys! Sorry I missed out.. I owe you one.. or maybe even two..

Hmmm.. I'm not 100% sure where these are going other than the 2 elevated areas in the new expert loop, and a few larger ones for a possible new intermediate singletrack area between the expert loop and the parking lot (bypassing all that ski trail riding).

Tim.. Dale.. ?
