Where are you all from?

I'm from Colorado Springs/Manitou Springs. The scene here is pretty good I'd say. We've been having twice weekly group rides for several years now, and the scene has expanded and shrunk several times. At one point 6 or 7 months ago, we'd usually have 10-15 riders on the wednsday night group rides, about 10 would be 100% trials and the other 5 would be DHers or street riders. Now our group rides are anywhere from 5 to 10 riders, but now it's mostly trials riders.

The best thing about our scene is riding spots. I've made a list of almost 40 sweet riding spots within 20 minutes of downtown. We have 3 or 4 natural spots that will probably never be tapped out, they are just filled with endless natural lines. Garden of the Gods park alone could keep Pro riders entertained for years if all they wanted to do was ride rocks. Not to mention we have some awesome urban areas to ride in, however Cops seem to be a problem these days downtown.

All in all I really like our scene. We don't have the highest level pros, or even close, but we do have a group of commited riders and endless riding locations.

Im from fort collins, CO and the scene is arguably boring?

There are tons of riders, but quantity doesn't mean quality. It was better 3 years ago when there were just 2-3 riders...you only need one other person to make the scene good. I'm pretty sure after riding the same small town for 3 years I've ridden EVERYTHING there is, which is probably another reason why I'm not interested in riding right now. The only things I haven't done are rediculous ups and lines that are too dangerous to do without a good reason.


I started in the scene of new jersey, which I liked much more than out here. Was there anyone to ride with? Not really- jeff lenosky, chris clark and lance trappe all lived within a stones throw of me but I didn't know who they were at the time. I never saw concrete until over a year of riding, I spent all my time in the woods alone and it was the most fun time in my trials "career"
