Bad Motor Scooter

Trail starts in a more open area that tends to dry out sooner than the lower 3/4 of the trail that holds moisture longer than most trails in Post Canyon. Lots of berms and medium sized table top jumps from top to bottom. There are several doubles throughout the trail with ride-arounds and a small root drop.

Trail History:
Built by Sam Pinner and Mike Estes in 2010-11 for its opening on Earth Day 2011. It was intended to get bikers off Riorden Hill Road who where upset with the changes made to 8-track. (8-track originally went straight down and had many TTF's that were built by the pioneers of free riding in Post Canyon before Hood River County took management of the trails) DH/FR bikers didn't want to do extra pedaling after 8-track was re-routed. To prevent a collision with a car, Sam and Mike quickly flagged this line and built 90% of it by hand. Jason Wells of IMBA arrived one day and connected the lower trail to the last creek crossing with his expertise. Matt Klee (RIP) would attend work parties and helped us organize the Hood River Area Trail Stewards. Our sincerest joy is seeing people discover this trails undulations, the flow, the berms, its heart and soul that was put forth to this particular trail should make Post Canyon very memorable from top to bottom. We saw a need to get bikers off the road.

Justin Fernandes became the trail adopter in 2018. Since 2020, HRATS has funded about two weeks machine time on the trail. After a couple re-routes and two seasons of machine dirt moving iterations BMS has has change significantly. Enjoy
