Mountain biking in British Columbia
Mountain biking in British Columbia is a popular sport as well as a thriving manufacturing, service/retail and tourism industry.
==The North Shore==
The North Shore suburbs of Vancouver, British Columbia are a well known place for mountain biking. The north shore of Burrard Inlet, is steep terrain with trails on many of the local mountains. These include Mt. Fromme, Cypress Provincial Park, and Mt. Seymour. While it is not considered part of the North Shore, Coquitlam's Eagle Mountain, and Burke Mountain offer riding that is similar, though access to the trails is typically more difficult.
The local mountains have mountain bike trails that are known for their extremely difficult and dangerous mountain terrain, and this unique style of trail building was born from the need to create a way to successfully ride this terrain. These trails contain numerous natural challenges like fallen logs, giant boulders to drop off, ravines to jump across etc. The area is home to old-growth Red Cedar, which when dead and dried out, naturally splits into nearly straight planks. The abundance of these natural cedar planks provided much of the material used to create the early ladders, bridges, and stunts that were required to negotiate the difficult terrain and fallen trees. Thus, most of the trails also contain man-made obstacles like skinny bridges, twisting "ladders" raised above the ground, and teeter-totters to ride on. This style of trail building and biking is sometimes referred to as "North Shore", describing trail systems that incorporate natural and man-made features of terrain. One of the most famous of these trails is CBC (originally a hiking trail). Due to concern from Metro Vancouver the North Shore Mountain Bike Association has not been allowed to do routine maintenance on CBC. It has become generally unrideable. What once was a world famous trail is now a collection of broken technical trail features and an eroded mess. Other trails on the North Shore have seen a tremendous amount of revitalization since 2013 through the NSMBA's trail adoption plan. A well run concept TAP pairs local businesses with trail builders to achieve thousands of hours of trail work.
