A good loop, and a new member.

Hi BMBA,

Great website... love the new look.. i figured what better time to register than to co-inside with this slick new interface?

Anyways, i'm a Burnaby Local living near lougheed mall. I ride an '07 NORCO Six Two which i am VERY pleased with. This is my first REAL mountain bike and it has really taken my riding and courage to new levels.  I always enjoy riding SFU mountain. Just discovered northroad trail a couple weekends ago....good times!

Bby Mtn Bike Park

I finally got to ride @ the bike park.  The conditions were pretty poor - alot of rain has caused mud puddles and the ground to be quite soft.

So, the table top jumps @ the bottom were too soft to ride, but the drops @ the top of the park were excellent! I'm used to hucking drops rather than table tops anyway so I had a great time launching off the drops and then blasting through the rock garden area.

The wooden pump track is pretty fun, but really hard to do on a bigger FS bike.

The log rides/skinnies and teeters are also great - nice progressions for all lines.
