Scratching The Surface II is live! Link in the Bio đź”—
Last time we did one of these, it was pure fun—just showing up, running around, and somehow
ending up with a solid video. The “plan” was to dig through old Pinkbike posts, hit up local
brains and bike shops for intel, and see what happened. Mission accomplished?
Well… sort of. The original destination was Prince George, but after a quick tour with Corey and
the Red Shreds crew, it was obvious we weren’t going anywhere else. A couple of insane shuttle
laps sealed it—credit card down at the Super 8, and we were rolling the dice with the weather.
There’s something about that mix of woodwork, electric singletrack, and big, floaty airtime in
those perfectly spaced forests that grabs hold of you. The trails buzzed with energy, and I was
hooked. We had to come back for more shuttles, some e-bike laps, and a chance to capture the
absurd amount of fun tucked right outside of town.
I’m a sucker for jangly structures—the sketchier and more alive they feel under your tires, the
better. Honestly, I was floored by the size of the hits, and trying to follow a local at full “trail
speed”? Straight-up terrifying. Those rides make you realize how much trust you put into
someone else’s lines and how quickly you can find yourself committed to enormous sends.
Heading into a project like this, you never really know what you’re going to get. But rolling in
prepared, with the right tool for the job, a 29” Process X with a 180mm Zeb—meant I could line
up for anything. That bike just eats whatever you throw at it.
Even after getting shut down by thunderstorms, I left already itching to get back and sample
more of the goods. This place is a true gem!
