Have you heard about the new Ladies Only? Well, you have now. It's been re-done, and now it's even more fun that before.
Adam Yunker & thought it would be cool to tribute a small article and some photos the one of the greatest builders and trails of all time.
May I present Todd "Digger" Fiander & Ladies Only!
Pics from photographer Adam Yunker
First roller, wraps around a rock, casual but fun.
My favourite part of the trail.
Look closely and notice that the root is intertwined with the rock work, that is definitely something that a lot of thought and effort was put into.
Hike a Bike
This section was a pain to hike up, suppose I should've waited for the photographer to setup! Oh well it's all in the good spirit of getting the perfect shot!
Coaster Time!
Ladder Bridge roller coaster section, three nice whoops in there, again casual, but tons of fun. Replaced the so called "Shitcoaster".
Riding Blind
Why do I love this shot? It just reminds me of how the trail was for me that day...Blind thanks to the sweat of all the pushing up I had to do!
Reduce, Re-use, Re-Route!
And of course the re-route, biggest change to the trail, Digger did a great thing here and re-used parts of the Shitcoaster to build a bridge around what was the gnarliest and an extremely dangerous part of the trail. Thanks for that buddy!
This trail is one of the best on the shore by far, it encompasses a full skill range. If you want a nice, casual shore ride with lots of ladders, this is your trail. And you can thank Todd "Digger" Fiander for that too. He's been building and pioneering some of the best trails and stunts, he spent two months on Mt. Fromme re-building this trail for all to enjoy. And we are all forever thankful! Thank you Digger for the amazing trail, and all of the other amazing ones.
If you guys like the photos give Adam Yunker his well deserved props! Or shoot him an E-Mail at spokedmedia@gmail.com!
Huge thanks goes out to North Shore Bike Shop, Banshee, & Race Face for the bike and offering tons of support for all of us!
