Kaner Flats area trail

This is near, the top of the kaner trail, got to ride down through this rock garden, kinda rough, then hitched a ride to the top of the next ridge and road back down on the gravel road almost to the main paved road:redneck:

My XC bike is about to getting a little tune-up (new tires, new rear derailleur, a few things like that). I've been out on both my XC and my DH bikes this summer, mostly the first half. I don't tend to have pics, cause I tend to ride alone..... I have one pic from Moab, and the rest are self-portraits....(scenery shots with half a goofy grinning idiot in it!).

I probably will. Back when I was 16 I would do crazy ****, but that was back in the era before Mountain bikes. It was BMX all the way. :cool:

mine tooo!! :heartpump: :heartpump:

Seriously, though, I love DH riding, and don't get to do it nearly enough. I don't know of anywhere immediately in the Everett area, but I'm NO expert!!

I don't have any cool pics, like 'Mauler, but....I'll try to dig something up!

Jonathan, hurting yourself is half the fun :redneck:
(for real, it's too much fun to miss! just don't drive....er, I mean, RIDE, like an assbag and you'll be fine!!) :awesomework:

Oh, cross country riding is mostly harmless (except to your lungs!), but the DH is all about body-armor!!

 

[Cascade_Crawler]

I heard there is down hill stuff in the "gulch" in mukilteo. I assume the big gulch that people always report cougars in, and that the railroad runs up to get too Boeing.

alright I'm convinced :awesomework:

 

[Motodestroyer69]

Thats the place.......there is DH "type" stuff:rolleyes: but top to bottom is 'bout 15 seconds.Also a couple "big" hucks but not really worth the effort. Japanese gulch is mostly XC in a ravine.

 

[Cascade_Crawler]

I guess I know nothing :kiss:

 

[86sasRunner]

i will show u how its done :awesomework:

 

[Boonie Buster]

I heard there are a few little drops in the st. edwards park. and a few little bumps in the big finn, and i mean little, lol.

little indeed. I can get a little dh flow at st. ed's but....you want momentum, go to the mountains!!:D

A couple years ago the wife and I stayed at Whistler over a weekend for our anniversary (Aug) when she was at the day spa I rented a guide and a bike, he took me all over that mountain we had a blast and then I came home and haven't touch a bike since...

The gondola ride up was the key selling point and if it doesn't have an engine it just isn't any fun:stirpot:

For all the years I've been doing this, I still haven't gotten my a$$ up to Whistler!! Just seem to find better things to spend money on, I guess....
You know how much I love the motorized two-wheel experience, but DH is deh bomb!! more trail space for me, then! :redneck:

 

[Not Jobless]

Id probably hurt myself

That's why I gave it up...

Just to show my age...I remember riding downhill at Whistler before they had downhill bikes and events :redneck:

At the time you actually had to pay not only for the ride to the top put for a guided tour by one of their employees :rolleyes:

Does the Summit at Snoqualmie still open during the summer for downhilling with the chair lifts?

:thud:

Not any more, thanks to the dirt-bag mtr community that refused to pay the lift ticket fees (cheaper that going to Whistler, dumb-dumbs!!). Snoqualmie was willing to just break even, but they lost too much $$ and shut it down.
Yeah, mountain-biker rebels, you really showed them!! :awesomework:
Geniuses! :rolleyes:




(yes, I'm still sore about it, and it's been closed for years!)
