Elk/Cougar/Bobcat were 100% volunteer designed and built (with great support from EMBA). The build was led by the Dirt Wizard Trail crew and we ran public workparties to accomplish it all with in the time scope. It took 4 months and 1500 hours to build it all, and over 100 different volunteers assisted in making it happen.
That is awesome. This trail looks absolutely killer. Does EMBA every help get similar well thought out trails especially ones designed well for the footprint, get build in city spaces? looking to get something proposed to a city i live.
25 years ago I was taking time off from work just to help the old BBTC (pre Evergreen) maintain the original Tiger mountain trails with the legendary Art Tuftee. We had a heck of a time getting volunteers to come out and just keep what we had going. At 61 now, and plenty of crashes, I'm incredibly envious of the trails you all have to ride but I don't ride much anymore because I moved away from the area. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the original work at Tiger! Are there trails where you moved to? I’m down in Olympia but there’s so much accessible within 2 hours north and south. I feel super blessed to be able to choose from multiple world class trail systems
@@MTB_Corbin I'm now in the Sequim area. Mind you when I lived in Ravensdale I was 12 minutes from Tiger, and less than 5 from Sawyer Woods. Very convenient. Here the riding starts at 30 minutes away, and it's limited compared to what Tiger and Sawyer evolved into. It's incredibly cool what you all have.
@@MTB_Corbin It definitely won't be the slab trail. I paused the video and thought "wow, that actually looks super steep on video, so it must be vertical in real life." LOL
Haha it’s a steep one! The catch berm at the bottom is super solid though. Lots of front brake, little back brake so you don’t slide and then you slow down from the compression. Such a cool move!
Thanks for the trail preview! We rode them yesterday and had a blast. What was your recording setup for this video? I felt like the preview perfectly captured the difficulty -- I was expecting Cougar to be impossible given how hard it looked on video but IRL it was exactly "as hard as it looked," which is rare for action cam video.
@@MTB_Corbin Thanks man! I'm surprised that this footage is in Ultra Wide; the equivalent setting on my GoPro makes everything look really flat even with the chin mount. Kinda makes me want to try the DJI cam TBH. I appreciate the camera advice in any case!
Great video, efficient and clear like this place. Just swung by there and wow, they really make every yard count. Like, "Please design us a highly accessible balance bike to double black progression park. Yes, you have to do both manicured flow/jump lines and rooty, rocky stuff. Make sure it's fun and rewarding. Oh, and you have 32 acres." There is zero fat in this system -- every piece is there for a reason. What a lovely introduction to a sport some people are going to get.
Iiiii see what you did there with the intro clip, cause we're all watching waiting for that rock biff which of course, never comes 😝. Genius Scuba steve!! Daaammm uuuuuu!
FYI this has always been called exit 27. And that old clip of cam McCall back flipping the house gap was in there. All those trails used to be illegal and the local dh pros would train there. I live 10 minutes away
hmm I know 27 is supposed to connect down to Tennant but a lot if not all these (Tennant) trails are new. DH pros used to train on the Tennant trails or the 27 ones? There are some wild 27 trails lol
Awesome riding, man! Subscribed! So, I plan on moving out to the Seattle area this August. What are the chances of you giving me a tour of all these awesome places? 😬
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. The riding around Seattle is so sick. You got Raging River, Tiger, Duthie, Tennant, and so much more within 2 hours. Definitely give me a shout if you see me on the trails!
Trails are awesome! And I’ve got a full camera settings breakdown posted on my channel 👍🏼 My DJI Settings for MTB th-cam.com/video/Kd9BV-j4xbs/w-d-xo.html
Looks like a great use of space, glad they added so many tech features, usually these types of things are like 95% flow/jump. The only thing I don't like it is that it's yet another Evergreen trailsystem for the already-saturated I-90 zone, while we up here in Snohomish County continue to starve on our meager trail rations. :( I understand it has a lot to do with that area being really receptive to Evergreen's projects but man... hurts a little bit.
Yeah the use of space is so nice here. I feel that with how many awesome riding spots there are on the I-90 corridor. I'm down in Olympia so it is a bit of a drive to get to Raging, 27, Tiger and now Tennant... Any trailbuilding community or non profit in your area that you could help with?
I was there earlier today and the flow trails are not very good they seem very basic with nothing new the black jump trail feels like a blue or green but the tech trails were really good. Its hard to find acessable tech trails where you can just improve your skill level but the did a great job here, and they were just really fun. Its like a practice for tiger mtn.
Love your videos, love your voiceover. I catch everything you post. But we gotta fix your mic in post overlay! It's so tinny and hollow. Somehow your on-trail mic is warmer and fuller, which is weird.
Thanks for watching them! Yeah I'd love to get a better mic but all my money goes into gas, bike maintenance and living haha. Maybe if the TH-cam thing generates some extra cash then I can upgrade the mic, it's on the list for sure
is the climb really that difficult, the riders looked like they were walking it? Those trails look awesome, so nice to seem trail areas popping up everywhere!
I hate to say it but I'm at the age that I would downhill but I need a ski lift to get me back up😅 of course I'm Rusty and sat on the couch too long, but yeah
@@MTB_CorbinI was going to say the same thing. June 22nd Tehaleh MTB has its official grand opening. It’s soft opened right now and all the trails are on Trailforks. I’d be happy to give you a tour. I’ve been watching your content and it’s really good. Would love to see one on Tehaleh too.

Back when tiger was a poach half of the season because the trails became creeks
@@misterhulk yes, it really was.
That's awesome! Thanks for guiding us around the trails. Cool to see how my work turned out.
Thanks for the work you put into it!
I'm headed to Tennant for the first time in just a couple of hours, and now I am even more stoked! Thanks for the video!
Nice, let me know your favorite trails after!

100% agreed! The use of space is seriously so cool. Makes you feel like you get a lot out of each lap even though they’re fairly quick.
Your jumping is so much better bro. Great work! Love the video! I will need to visit Tennant soon.
Thanks man!
Thanks for putting this together. Great highlight of whats out there
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hey man good video. Before this vid i didnt know about this place. Definitely going to check this place out.
Thank you and enjoy Tennant!
I’m excited to try these next time I’m up in the area. Great riding too!
They're so much have, and thank you!
Great video! Thanks for the detailed review of this new trail system. I love the positivity too!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You made that rock slab 9:34 look easy but looking at it, I know that is not in fact easy LOL
haha it is a steep one, really fun!
Yeah when I first rolled up to it I stopped and called to make sure my life insurance was up to date. Sketch!
Can't wait to get on these trails now! 🎉
It's awesome, thanks for watching!
Did this trail system today and it was as advertised!!!!
Great vibe man
Wow thank you for the review! I live in North Bend!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Tennant is a sweet spot to live close to
Stoked to hit these trails! Hope to see you guys out there!
For sure! Shout at me if you see me on the trails 👍🏼
Iiiii see what you did there with the intro clip, cause we're all watching waiting for that rock biff which of course, never comes 😝. Genius
Scuba steve!! Daaammm uuuuuu!
haha gotta keep the anticipation up!
Excellent breakdown of the trails.👏 I’m looking forward to checking out Elk & Cougar.
Thanks! Elk and cougar are 10/10 fun
Looks like a great little spot. Great place for North Bend.
Dude! Way to shred! Thanks for letting me tail into some of those features, you made them look too easy! Maybe someday I'll do bobcat! Haha
You were getting pretty stylish on those jumps too! It was nice to meet you and rip a few laps 👍
That place looks fun! Check out the White Cliffs Trail System in Arizona on Trailforks. It's similar in design but with Mojave desert terrain.
That seems cool!
Nice presentation of the park.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Rad, thanks for the trail preview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was sick, great riding guys 🤙🏾💯
Thank you!
So cool bro, I was there as well that morning 😅 I saw you ,was with a bunch of friends ,great work keep it up 👍

live in tacoma, gues where im going this weekend :)
have fun!

Sick trails!
You'd love them! Rest up so we can ride soon
Hell yeah dude hardtail hero 🔥
love me a good hardtail session!
That was awesome!
the place is awesome!
I almost bought a commencal they have so many models to choose from
And they’re pretty affordable! This one’s the cheapest version meta HT which I built custom
north bend that is on the western side of the mountains right?
I’m not sure to be honest… my geography skills are definitely worse than my riding skills are haha
Theses trails are soo good
Thanks for the highlight! Do you know how many acres this sits on? I wonder how much land it would take to recreate something like this
32 acres
It's the backyard trail system people (like me) dream of

@@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5 thanks man! Yeah WA has some of the best mountain biking 👍🏼
Sweetness
Come ride tehaleh bike park in Bonney Lake!
👀
Are these better on a mountain bike or a dirt jumper? I'm trying to decide between the two. I really want the DJ but the MB might be more versatile...
I’d bring a hardtail MTB. I think that’s the best bike for the area 👍🏼
@@MTB_Corbin Cool, seems like the way to go!
Is emtb allowed here? Please. Thanks.
I hate to say it but I'm at the age that I would downhill but I need a ski lift to get me back up😅 of course I'm Rusty and sat on the couch too long, but yeah
Haha the lifts up are amazing! Thankfully Tennant really doesn’t have any bad climbs, but they’re still climbs lol
The steeps actually look steep.
My girlfriend saw it in person and goes “it drops like a cliff” trueee
Perfect trails for people with no health insurance 😂 awesome for family riding
Ripping on a hardtail
Hardtail rips
not the newest
At the time the video was posted, it was the newest. Is there another new trail system I should check out??
