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. -- Jerrick ~*~!I ride for Christ, Fun, Challenges, and a lot more!~*~ '!Gallery!' (http://tinyurl.com/gf2g9) '!MRIS!'

Lines for days! -- onetrack "People over here have a dangerous habit of adding quotes to signature lines." -Klaas Bil I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out.

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 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. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: _DSC8046.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/15781 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- danger_uni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danger_uni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/21 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54225 |

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. -- sugarloafur "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
