what the *%#& is north shore?

In the north shore of British Columbia (I think) there's a lot of
mountain biking, and riders built various elevated tracks, jumps, other
stuff, and collectively the style of course is called north shore.

that's exactly it. The trails were too easy for whatever insane freaks
built them, so they put in their own obstacles. It's some pretty insane
stuff.

From Urban Dictionary . com

*North Shore*

Another word for ladders and wooden bridges on mountain bike/freeride
tracks. The word comes frpm the immense quantity of ladders and bridges
in Canada's north shore mountain bike tracks.

Xtreme d00d: I just fell off a 30 foot north shore bridg and smack my
head in.

Me: Haha, you suck!

Yep, north shore is my faverite type of muniing.

Here's the dave and I, at his local NS bike place. We didn't film very
much at all, we were too busy bombing. This is the easy stuff. 🙂

Also check out the thread links at the bottom of this thread. And watch
the trailers to universe 1 and 2.

Actually, The brush and trees are SO thick that they needed to instal
the bridges to make it accessible.

its actually way easier to build ladders and bridges than clear brush to
make trails...if you've never done it.. it SUCKS. the only problem with
with ladders is wood and nails... and you need someone with chainsaw
skills so you don't have to buy any wood... the place here is sweet...
too bad the dnrc tore a ton of it down a few years back...

The north shore of Vancouver is North and West Vancouver. There are 3
mountains - Mt Seymour, Grouse Mountain and Cypress. They have
incredible bike trails. I'm sure you'll hear more as the 2010 olympics
approach.

I think the real reason why North Shore was started was because during
wet seasons in Canada, it would slightly flood the woods, and they
could only ride much using these ladders and high wooden beams. Thats
what I've been told by numerous UK and north american mountainbikers.

there's even a northshore park in my town: www.eshershore.com

To add to what everyone else has already said. Here are a few sites
that might interest you:

'Gutsploder' (http://www.gutsploder.net) - A _Great_ site with maps and
pictures of most of the north shore trails and stunts.

'NSMBA' (http://www.nsmba.bc.ca/) - The north shore mountain bike
assocation (non profit group that runs the trails)

The other great thing about the north shore is it's all extremely close
to the city center, there are even public buses that go right past the
trail heads.

If you're comming to Vancouver drop us a line at www.vanuni.com and we
can take you on a north shore ride.
