Pretty good trail, some cool features. A few of the jumps are kind of awkward. Pretty flowy though, and it’s lots of fun to rip down.

Small dead tree down just before franks meets hustler. Can be Easily cut with a hand saw. Possibly with a multi tool saw but would probably be challenging

Most likely, as with Ray's, the jumps probably had nothing to do with it. Liability is a thing of the past......

I wish the builders had invested the time on trails or a new one higher up that would of survived. Now that they are gone, all the work is for naught. It is not like anyone didn't know all lower trails are condemned for construction anyway so it seems to me no one should be surprised.

People need to stop wrecking green bastard! me and friends just filled in breaking bumps and smoothed the trail out a few weeks ago and its already destroyed again from people slamming on there breaks and riding it in the wet. So don't complain if green bastards in bad shape. You can blame the teens that ride it when its pouring.

I think given the nature of the trail and all its optionable features, to make it more of a "fun factory" it would be cool to add some skinnies as we don't see too much of those on burke mountain

There’s like a solid wood “closed” sign permanently bolted at the entrance. Is this trail open?

[Reply]

trail-governor (Oct 15, 2020 at 7:50)

Trail Green Bastard

It’s not bolted and it’s usually covered up when the trail is obviously open. Due to the greedy nature of unskilled riders it usually gets closed during heavy rains. This is not a trail you ride during or after a storm.

This trail is actually called "the last trail" long ago locals named it and some hooligans came and put up a sign "GARBAGE" because the trail was rough. This trail is actually my favorite at Burke with some kick ass jumps through out, they have been recently fixed up.

Not like the old trail, positive - very well built trail. Unfortunately all of the technical aspects have been replaced by well built flow, jumps and wide woodwork. Modern trail building at its best, hopefully Dawg gets left as a technical single track.

Green b was never a technical trail to begin with the builder originally built it as a flowy trail and the two wood bridges were decrepit and needed replacing. Dawg and fluid should still be boring enough singletrack for you

This year the weather has been extremely harsh on the trails on this mountain. Even trails that usually don't have water issues have suffered. Builders including the ones taking care of this trail are putting in extensive hours to make these trails usable and sustainable. A lot of riders don't appear aware of damage done when these trails are ridden in wet conditions. The maintainers of this system are all volunteers sacrificing their time and money to keep these trails going. Be thankful as without the devoted efforts by these builders there would be no trails to ride on Burke.
