Since my first visit to the Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park in Issaquah, I haven't done a whole lot of mountain biking. Somehow, after that park, "mountain biking" anywhere else, just doesn't feel like... " mountain biking".
The videos below got me stoked again, and now I can't wait to go back for more jumps and drop-offs. Jump and freeride lines in the park range the full spectrum from beginner ( the Luna lines) to intermediate (a trail called 2Hi) to advanced (Paramount, DWR and others), allowing novices to start off small and experts to hit it big from the get-go.
To improve your skills and build confidence, try "the progressive drops" in the center of the park.
If you haven’t yet visited the park, it’s time you came and checked out the spectacle.
Love the vids. Made me think for a minute or two I should invest in a mountain bike. And then I noticed a complete lack of latte cup holders on those handlebars.
ReplyDeleteSure appreciate your blog. I've been inspired.
I was thinking about investing in one of those bikes myself. But for a $ 2000 bike it should come with a free hooker :)( and unlimited supply of...latte)
ReplyDeleteMan. I've been training so much on the road bike I haven't been able to hit up Duthie Hill yet. I need to get over there. It's practically in my backyard.
ReplyDeleteShame on you Casey :) I know you are into road biking, but MB is much more fun ( well.. at least for me )!
ReplyDeleteI think Duthie Hill is a great place ( but really would like to check out Whistler )...
