I didn’t know there were trails at that place in Charlotte. To be completely honest, I try to stay away from Charlotte as much as I can. I can’t stand how much that place has grown and the amount of traffic that growth has generated.
where do you do most of your riding at? I used to hit up DuPont when I’d visit my in-laws. It was the closest place to their house. I’ve ridden kolo bike park once too, but I kind of thought that place sucked when I went.
Nowadays, I usually just hit up Kanuga bike park since it’s less than a 10 minute ride from the in-laws’ place and I have an emtb. I love that place. The trails are probably the best ones I’ve ever been on, and the jumps are really fun and somewhat mellow.

I’ve ridden Kanuga 3 times. Mellow jumps? Bro, are you shitting me?! I do most everything, except the huge jump line. My big air days are over. Lived in this area for 10yrs and rode a lot of everything on my mtb. Now most places don’t allow ebikes. Yet…

Yeah, I raced MX in my younger days. Quit when life, work, wife, and kids started making it harder to find time to do anything but hit up racing. Once racing started consuming an entire weekend for only 10-15 race laps on a Sunday, I switched to mtb, then eventually emtb.
I’m 40 and think the jumps are pretty mellow except for SE style trail. I’m still working up to those. I hit that first big jump once and it was a little sketchy. I’ve been trying to air the big ones out but usually come up short. I think the blue trail tortuga has pretty mellow jumps though.
I never did venture out to pisgah. I’ve been wanting to check out fire mountain, but I always just hit kanuga for some reason. My brother in law wants to check out berm park whenever it opens.

Berm Park is a new, free, public bike park that is being built in Canton, NC, just west of Asheville. I think it's being paid for by some fundraising that youtube guy Seth Alvo. I've seen a few youtube videos with him showing off the runs as it's being built, and it looks pretty cool. So far, it looks more like just some flow and jump trails down the mountain, so I seriously doubt it's on the level of Kanuga, but it is supposed to be free to ride there, so that's cool I guess.
Besides Kanuga and Fire Mountain, what all up there allows emtbs?

Gotcha. I've never heard of any of those other places until this thread.

Really sad Brevard NC (DuPont and Pisgah) are not ebike friendly. Guess that rules NC out when it comes time to retire.

I know. For now anyways. They are vast trail systems also, which is kinda lame.
