Just saw this pop up on NetFlix the other night. Just a cool MTB movie about trail access and what certain groups are doing to work with the US Forest service. Had some fun riding parts in it and some great looking trails. Anyway.... look it up if you get a chance. :cheers:

Just finished watching it, thought it was pretty good. Great example of mountain bikers and land managers working together to build sustainable trials. The trails in Oregon were awesome!

I watched it last night. It was a very good movie.

Have to say encouraging as it was, it rang a bit hollow for our local issues. For one it was all work with USFS, and as far as I can tell bikers already have some decent trails in Cleveland NF. Although we have nothing like the bike parks...

The other thing was they are some pretty darn small towns, looking to mountain biking to boost their economies. Contrast that with Calavera/TW/MTRP etc situated between suburbs surrounded by millions of people and used by a relatively huge amount of people and you can see the root of the frustration around here.

That said they showed the I-5 colonnade bike park in Seattle. No reason we can't get something like that here.

Sorry to get off on a negative tangent. The movie is really good! Sure made me want to go on a biking tour of the Northwest.

I just watched this last night. You do get the warm and fuzzy from how harmoniously certain entities can work together, but as PaulChavez states I wouldn't be to excited about seeing that kind of progress locally. I would have thought there would have been at least something positive covered in CA since its the cradle of MTB.

I think attitude change towards MTB is starting to catch up in Cali too.
