Best Natural Trials in North America??

OK the attachments don't allow Google Earth kmz files so here are the
coordinates.
49°15'40.95"N
123°15'41.17"W

Clue: it's a beach and you can see the log lines in Google Earth.

This is my favorite trials riding area and some of the best natural
trials I've ever seen. Endless variety and you can ride lines that are
sometimes up to 100 m long. Funny thing is that no one else rides
there!

Wow, I just looked it up, and it looks amazing!

Is this where you did some of the filming for Universe 2? Kinda seems
like the same place.

Are the logs washed up there and random, or set up by trials'ers?

BTW, I've played in an Ultimate tourney right near there, on Lasqueti
Island, at
49°28'54.97"N
124°17'25.39"W

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip

Wreck beach is kind of a hippy beach, where a lot of people hang out
and build stuff with logs that wash up, including burying logs
vertically in the sand as well as pulling them into places to sunbathe,
or places just to hang out and even make cool carvings and gardens in
some logs. It's a cool culture down there; also it's a nude beach so
sometimes you have to avoid falling on naked people! Basically
people created one of the world's best trials sections without even
knowing they were doing it, and the sections also change as people move
logs around.

It's where my segment in U2 was shot although no film or photo can do
it justice. A lot of the lines are technical and would look bad on
film but are awesome to do.

Attached are a couple of photos.

I love that photo of you and the silhouette. I'm really into
photography, maybe I'll have to make my next lens a fisheye... I'm
considering coming to MMF next spring (it's a long ways from Freeport,
Maine!) and riding and doing some photos.

If (when) I come to Vancouver, I'll definitely check it out.

Yes, please avoid them! Pinned pedals and naked people conjures
horrific images.

I'll have to get to that beach sometime. I am a littler further south
in Tacoma.

This beach has some pretty good logs for trials 47°17'9.14"N
122°29'13.00"W It is only about a mile from my house so I go down there
whenever I get a chance
