Bellingham local Finn Hopper and Fanatik Bike Co. filmmaker Doug Jambor were fortunate to catch perfect spring conditions on a recent outing in Cascadia.
The decay of the forest is what makes for such abundant growth, and of course, the loam that we all look for.

"Perfect spring conditions" If you live in the PNW you can count those days on the fingers of one hand. 2 hands in a good year. When you say the Spartan is "in its element" I'm assuming that element is water? Great video, great shreddin', thanks!
@Motoracer31: I've pondered that one before. I've always wondered why it's called Pacific Northwest as opposed to just Northwest. Being from the Northeast originally, I've never heard of that region being called the Atlantic Northeast. Technically, this is the Northeast Pacific.
@Motoracer31: yeah, I feel the same way re. terminology. I kinda gave up calling it the sothwest because people just thought i was talking about New Mexico. I guess if you forget about borders and look at the continent on North America from Mexico to Alaska, it is somewhat "Northwest". Now about Chicago being considered The "mid west", what's with that?
@Pininator: Because before we got out to settling the west coast, the 'Northwest' referred more to the northern midwest. Then we had to have a new Northwest. We're talking 19th century and earlier here.
@Pininator: Note how Northwestern University is in Illinois - back in those days (mid 1800s), Chicago was way out there, and anything west of the Appalachians was considered out west, whereas the Pacific coast was the Far West.
Where is this coffee grounds surface you ride on? Is it some sort of natural? Is it artificial? I ask and my Minons ask because they eat nothing but dust on crust. And they hate me because of this video.
The "decay" of forest does not make loam. Loam is a type of dirt. An almost equal mix of sand and silt with very little clay in it. Pink bike should do an article on loam cause the whole industry has it wrong. Tree litter, needles, decaying leaves, anything that was once living is "not" loam.
Perhaps by strict definition... However, as the term applies to where we ride, and seeing how tree detritus plays a big role in the surface we roll on, subversion of said definition seems appropriate no?
can someone tell me where this at? what's the point of all these vid's if I have no idea where the trail is, I go on bike trips every year and try to find something new and fun to ride, and see tones of fun looking places in vids yet no info once so ever on where they are. and for all those who think that their trail is the best and needs to be kept secret etc, well then don't f*cking film it

Long live Cascadia!!!

"The even Further West"?
Is it some sort of natural?
Is it artificial?
