Creating Trans-Cascadia // Hard Days

  • It’s impossible to not be completely worked after a day at Trans-Cascadia. And that’s not just the racers; volunteers, officials, timers, chefs, media-everyone puts in an equal effort. The final week is the culmination of years worth of work, too. Each race is proceeded by work weekends, months of scouting and many conversations with land managers and local community members. For the individuals behind Trans-Cascadia, putting on an epic, blind, trans-style backcountry stage race is the reward. Opening miles of singletrack and giving back to the Cascadian mountain bike community is the reason-and that’s a lot easier when everyone contributes.

    I love everything about this type of event. Don't confuse high priced with overpriced. A Porsche is a high-priced vehicle but not an overpriced vehicle. This is a Porsche level experience. Those who get it, see the value and you need not be wealthy to see the value.

    Is there a general list of trails from the last few years available? It be great to see which trails were 'created' vs 'upgraded' vs 'maintained' or anything in between.

    When ONE RACE is more expensive than a lot of peoples bikes, isnt that little too much? I cant be the only one who thinks that.

    • @bassman87
      @bassman87 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah you're the only one who thinks that... This is a tailored, and guided race event over 4 days with a moving caravan of chefs, camp coordinators and equipment haulers (how do you expect your camping gear to get from point A to B). 2200 is nothing when you see what is happening behind the scenes to make this event more than just you riding trails. let's face it, people spend 2 grand in Casinos and walk away with nothing yet think the experience is worth it.
      All in all your posts dont make you out to be a good person, they make you seem like an entitled brat who wants everything handed to then for free. I'm sure your a swell guy in person, but your online persona is a little rough around the edges.

I simply said your comments are making you look like an entitled brat. which is true. also you cant make the argument that youre just putting your opinion online and not expect others to put their own opinion online as well. so calm down there snowflake, it will be ok.
      anyway you have two options, pay 2200 and race, or dont. none of those include bitching about the price and whining online that you want the event to be free. anyway, have a nice day.

      @freehubmag  5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      What these guys put into creating trails and putting on an incredible experience is well worth the $2200. Not to mention that these trails remain open to the public after the event, essentially creating amazing new trails networks for us to ride. And yes, you can ride trails for "free" but remember that volunteers and advocacy groups put in massive amounts of time to dig and advocate so you can ride those trails...for free.

      Nothing is free! Food aren't free. Building equipment aren't free. These guys' blood, sweat, and tears aren't free. You get to ride it for free after the event. At least have the decency to say thank you instead of finding something to bitch about.

      Yes, you can ride trails all over the world for free, but you'll need food, accommodation etc.
      The logistics of moving the whole camp from destination to destination, feeding all of the participants, having medical cover, mechanical cover etc.. that's what your $2200 dollars is going towards.
      I spend around that figure on my annual holiday, so if I was going to do the Trans-Cascadia it would be my holiday for that year.

    • @nate390
      @nate390 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Says the guy looking at the beautiful scenery from his computer. These guys do not put this race on for a living, they can't spend weeks walking around mountains scouting and building trails. Using dirt bikes to access these areas makes this event possible so that people can actually enjoy the scenery in person and not just look at pictures of it.

    • @freehubmag
      @freehubmag  5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Lewis, that's a call the Forest Service makes, not these guys. Anywhere dirt bikes are ridden during Trans-Cascadia is for scouting, trail work and safety precautions, on OHV legal trail. Many of the trails raced on are actually multi-use trails and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest has a longstanding history of cooperation between user groups. We wholeheartedly agree that there are places that should be left alone and undisturbed by motors and noise, however, Trans-Cascadia purposefully takes place in regions that permit OHV access for logistics.

    • @jfritzinger
      @jfritzinger 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Motos belong. Responsible motos are who clear downed trees for you. Motos are often who ‘make’ trail that benefit mtn bikes. Just wait til the ebike bros show up.
      Its all about respect for the land and across users.
