I went to Hillside today and it was the first time I had ever been there and it was a blast. For me some of the climbs were really tough but the downhills were fun. The berms (or is it burms?:confused:) and the the log piles were a lot of fun too. I was worried that since I was slower than some of the other riders people might get mad at me but all the people that passed me on the trail were cool about it. To all the people that help build and maintain the trail up there, you do a great job! :banana:

Yea I knew there was racing tonight was worried about getting in the way with that too... but my ride went without fault, well my girlfriend did fall but other than that, good ride. I will definately be going back there more than once.

I rode hillside for my first time this summer. It totally rocked..I loved the little downhill sections; I didn't think the climbs were bad at all. I wish i could get out there more often...its definetely my new favorite trail:D

Were you riding hardtails or full-suspension? I have a hardtail and there were some times where I felt like my bike was taking a beating. could also be that I'm a bigger guy and its what I do to bikes or that it's just my experience level.

We (Uncle Leo & me) just got back from Hillside. After not riding there for a few years, I was very happy with the trail. Lots of variety around the trail - great job trail workers! Definitly will be back next year. Thanks.
