The North Shore in Vancouver is known as the breeding ground of modern mountain biking. There were a couple of people who started building jumps and features on the mountains of North Vancouver which still exist to this day. One of the most influential builders is a guy people call “The Digger”, who still maintains the trails on Mt. Fromme.
I’ve ridden these trails before and let me tell you… Your hands and forearms will hurt so much from gripping your bars ,holding on for dear life, as you bomb down these trails… But what a blast it was!
It was also surreal to be riding on these hand built trails I’ve heard so much about. Us people of the Vancouver area are definitely spoiled to have these trails in our backyard.
