Mine no longer exist, but it was Mo Heinous. and Mo's little sister Betty Heinous which now are part of Green's Lick in Bent Creek

another Kitsuma and Heartbreak Ridge(name fits trail to a T)

 

I believe there's a trail in North Vancouver...

called Severed Dick.

 

New Paradigm Trail!

Built in Marin County, CA. by MTB'ers for MTB'ers. :thumbsup:

 

The John Muir trail, in the south Kettle Moraine, southern, Wisc. Because John Muir was one man truly worthy of naming trails (& park systems around the country) after. Every time I ride that trail, I consider it "borrowing" a ride on his private trail, and I'm thankful for his lifes work as a brilliant naturalist and conservationist.

 

Local names...
Stubborn Cow
Ugly B!tch
Lithium
Ritalin
SkullfVcker
probation

Whistler:
Anal Inruder
Whip me Beat Me

 

First Blood
Broken Penis

Both at Fontana NC.

I was never able to clean either of them, I guess that I am a wuss

 

I like NFW at Trumbull, Ct. It may be the same trail as the original poster was talking about, but it got it's name because every couple of feet you look at where the trail is headed and have to shake your head and say..... no ****ing way. Even seeing people ride it just doesn't comprehend.

 

Fave trail name: Steam Donkey

That captures a certain vibe. Its a legit name too, not a nickname.

Park of the ECDM (aka "Skeggs Pt.") trail system.

And its fun as hell. :thumbsup:

 

steal your face

Nice avatar. Like I told you, what I said....

I've not seen that one.....

 

Two local trail names that may be repeated in other

areas of the country. These are in Mountain Top , PA>:
TrainWreck- A trail along an active rail line that has debris from a trainwreck including 2 old twisted/smashed freight cars off in the woods. JailTime- named as a local was taking off from a forest ranger, took a short cut to avoid jailtime.

 

Windsucker - long, moderately steep
Roadie's Revenge - not exactly sure why. It's long, moderately steep, smooth climb but becomes a steep somewhat tech climb.

 

Ball Buster- unofficial name of trail in my area (someone fell and had to get his left testicle removed)

 

Names we came up with for specific trails, all pretty unoffical:

Satan's Penis: because its long and hard

God's Rectum: because it beats the crap out of you

Ripped Pants Pete's Run: so named because our friend Pete basically had his lycra ripped off after a minor fall on this trail, and had to ride home with the goods swaying in the breeze.

 

Charlies Face: because it goes down a face and a guy name charlie crashed and tried to rip his off with the trail... In Bozeman, MT

 

called Severed Dick.

Yup. Also have Pink Starfish.

Another gem is Cunning Stunts (say that one real fast after a few beer),

 

Bootleg Canyon

Has a lot of good ones too - Armageddon, Kavorkian, Poopshoot, you get the idea - www.bootlegcanyon.com. Great mountain!

 

The trail name Young Lust just several posts below is cool.

Our local trails have names like ___ Canyon or ___ Trail, but the more notable ones in my area are Raptor Ridge, The Luge, Top O' The World, and Rattlesnake.

 

Armageddon, ... Poopshoot, you get the idea

When you consider that poopshoot is usually spelled "poopchute", and the famous internet story of felchers screaming "Armageddon!", yes we do get some idea, although ours may substantially differ from yours.

Hmmmm.

 

The North Umpqua Trail section: Dread and Terror

One of our local riding area has different names for trail sections every few hundred meters: Love Connection, Foreplay, Pubic Zone, Tree Prison, Up Yours!, Helpless, Fun Girl, Testicle, Cell Block, Bloody Stump, Burial Ground, Intestinal Tract, Albee Darn, WhyPass, Alien Extraction, Shoulder Blade, Stumps Don't Win...

 

The Nasty-Nasty is a good unofficial name. Crackhead Bob's, I thought bob the builder was a crack head until I cracked my head on almost every low hanging tree branch.

 

.........

A section of trail called "the graveyard" , at afan argoed South Wales

 

The thing about trail names around here is that they change as the next generation starts riding them and giving them their own names. We don't have signposts with names, and most of the trails aren't on any map. But my favorites, as I know them:

Trail of Swears
Mr. Fish's wild ride
Butt munch
Three *****es
Warren got skewered
Long climb

All in CT

I'll play...

Okay, so while I was riding the 12hr Cowbell Classic on Saturday, I got to thinking about other trails I've ridden that the Catawba Park course on which I was racing reminded me of. Then I got to thinking of other trails that I just really enjoy riding. That mixed in with remembering the names of the sections of trail on the Cowbell course got me thinking about my favorite trail names. ( i really need to get an MP3 player.....)

So I thought why not ask you what yours are! What are your favorite trail names? Why do you like it (i.e. do you like just the name or why do you like THAT trail)?

For example, here are a few of my favorites:

The Money Trail: located at Trumbull Valley trails in CT. Called such because it was believed not long ago that if you could clean that trail you should be gettin' paid!

Rocky Flats: located in north GA, and NOT flat! It's 4 miles up then 4 miles down with lots of water bars. Listed as easiest trail in north GA for beginners -- HA!!!

The Dance: located at Ft Pierce, FL. Called such because it's nothing but palmetto roots going every which way. You gotta keep on the pedals but keep your body flexible and moving. It's quite fun!

Collarbone Alley: I'm sure there's more than one of these, but I almost got to see Ernie Marenchin epitomize this trail name at about 11:00pm at Conyers a few weeks back. Thanks Ernie for the show and not forcing me to have to carry ya' outta there!

Rough Ridge: WARNING: do not attempt any trail that's conceited enough to be called this! This particular version is a hiking only trail in the Cohutta Wilderness of north GA and is so steep and long that my dog collapsed about 2/3's the way up and looked at me like I was crazy! :skep: ( I have a great pyrenees -- no small fry wimpy dog). My hiking friend and I almost got T's made that said "I survived Rough Ridge!"

Okay, so you get the idea? Those are just a few basic favorites of mine. I'm sure we all have some, so let's hear 'em!

My favourites of our trail names are:

Root Canal:

Technical and challenging. Tight trees and a major root fest plus water. In the middle is a channel of water, fifty feet of which make up part of the trail. It only dries up in August. There is a submerged big root in the middle of the canal section, that often catches people taking the trail for the first time. There is an upper and lower section. The lower section is also a major root fest and is also wet most of the time. About 2/3 of a kilometer long.

Rocky Road: (like the ice cream, and just as much fun)

Tight trees and lots of rocks. About 1/2 kilometer long.

Les Bosses: Pronounced "lay boss".

Named after a warning sign you see sometimes at Quebec ski resorts. The sign is usually blue with white lettering. There is usually about three or four wavy lines under the word "bosses", which means bumps (moguls.) The trail runs along the top of a ridge about fifteen feet high, with a some nice views of the forest. It is very roller coaster with some roots and most of the way it is bumps the about the size of ski moguls. This is one of the most popular local trails. Technical is some sections.

They are just some short trails in our local bush trail system. My friend and I cut these trails and named them. I guess you are more likely to like the names when you choose them yourself.

I forgot one that I really like...

Tree Slalom located at Razorback MTB Park in Reddick, FL. It's flat and fast -- 18-20 mph and you really are buzzing trees like gates on a DH ski run. The best part is that it's quite lengthy, maybe a couple miles out and it loops back.

Brado~ I concur with Heartbreak Ridge. Aptly named. Kitsuma is just a cool name -- period!

Ya' can't forget Farlow Gap either. Where is that anyway? Does Farlow Gap REALLY exist? I've heard rumors of it, but after 13 miles of climbing one day, I still never found it. "You are not going to Farlow Gap?" asked one racer. "NO! Some of us are still sleeping!" was a competitor's response.

I've still never been. Maybe I should make that a weekend plan this summer.......
