With all the hate on for OHV'ers and these new downhill bikes just keep getting better... Downhill MTBing is looking very appealing.

GreenPeace friendly, you can pretty well ride them anywhere, in the city, in the national park... Don't need a motor, just gravity.

I have a cross country bike, but think I need to get myself a downhiller.

Downhill and sledding are my two hobbies. Feel fortunate to have the mtns so close to us. Moose mtn is just past elbow falls and has some really awesome trails that people have put a ton of work into. Definitely worth a trip out there. I'm out there almost every weekend!

I love some of the trails in the mountains but doing something like that video is just insane! It's been years since I've done any good riding in the mountains. A couple friends just went and rode a week in Moab which would be an awesome experience too.

Check the weather cuso, just spent two nights on the hill camping and it never stopped raining...drove home last night and down in Vernon it was dry. Better call to see what's going on before you make the drive. Looks like wicked nice weather next weekend so have a great time! Off to ride Nelson today.
