Marty’s Trail in Ashland, Oregon, has been a popular downhill trail for a number of years with local riders. In recent months, there have been some modifications to the trail. A popular section of trail was reworked with the addition of machine built jumps. Unfortunately, the jumps were constructed and reworked without the permission of […]
Oregon has a wide range of single track trail options ranging from classic backwoods Forest Service style XC trails to modern flow trails in stacked loop systems.
New Trails at the Jacksonville ORV area
SOFA, the Southern Oregon Freeride Association has put a lot of time into building trail just outside Medford, near the small town of Jacksonville. Their initial push was to finish a DH run and a mostly downhill trail for the Jacksonville Bike Festival, when a DH and Super Race were run. Since then, guys like […]
UPDATE: Marmot is out, Road 14 is in
<UPDATED>We’ll just get to the point regarding the Flow Trails at the Marmot Dam area. Freeride trails were not authorized for the area, and will not be sanctioned at this time. All the wood structures featured in the previous post have been decommissioned. Does it suck? Yes. It is heart breaking to see the hard […]
30+ rider freeride session at Post Canyon

Video: the Flying Dutchman DH Trail in Knappa, OR
I did a bit of filming of some local NW rippers on our secret trails in Knappa last week. The guys recently did a trail maintenance day, and the conditions of the trail were incredible. The trail we’re on is called the Flying Dutchman. It’s the shortest trail on the hill, as it only goes […]
Sessioning a new jump line in Ashland, OR

Secret NW Trails II: Knappa
It has been pretty sweet having some of the best DH trails around only 10 miles away. After living in the Bay Area, and having Pacifica for the local stomping grounds and having to push up to the top every time you want some DH action, it is nothing short of pure awesomeness. The draw […]
A hidden gem: the Gnat Creek Trail
We’ve been spending a good deal of time searching for mountain biking near my home town in Clatsop County while getting ready to settle in the Portland Area.
