ahahaha yeah, totally a secret spot. https://www.trailforks.com/region/carlmont-hills/Let's keep Carlmont location OFF the interwebs... thanks...![]()
Thanks for the reply. I found some vids on YouTube and while there are few things that look like fun I'd be out of my depth on most of it.I would say people that ride carlmont vs. water dog are on the two complete opposite ends of the Mtb spectrum. Or easier said, they are harder.
Also, no need to reall worry about saying "carlmont" online. There is a plethora of content on it on all social media outlets

I tried to reply last night - I guess it didn't save. It went something like this: The Carlmont (quite unlike Waterdog) side is a great little place to work on progression. Even though you see local rippers sending the big YouTube lines, there are go-arounds for everything and some fun little trails to session. Just practice common courtesy, use common sense and pack out some trash. It's a fun little zone. There was even a DH race there 2 weeks ago and nobody got ruffled feathers - it was over before anyone knew it happened and the neighbors were all respected. Peace on the Hill.Thanks for the reply.

Were you one of the gloveless racers who went down in that stuff? I saw some blood! The shale parts of the trails are like broken glass!Do wear gloves, knee and elbow pads, the dirt there will shred you.
Not me! I'm never gloveless!Were you one of the gloveless racers who went down in that stuff? I saw some blood! The shale parts of the trails are like broken glass!
For scale, the jumps there are all smaller than these ones:
Nice, maybe I'll give it a go during a less busy time of day. Thanks for the info.I tried to reply last night - I guess it didn't save.

Oh yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way a couple years ago on the Waterdog side.Do wear gloves, knee and elbow pads, the dirt there will shred you.
