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.......

Damn, you really know your FL trails.....a shoutout to Ft. Pierce and Razorback, I'm impressed. If you enjoy palmettos you would have loved the trails at Jonathon Dickenson State Park, made Dance look like nothin.

My favorite trail name is probably Moonscape over in Alafia or Odd Buck at San Felasco (somehow I always daydream about how they came up with that name, a crazy deer running around, a "frisky" buck getting too close......???). There also seems to be a Big Dipper on most florida trails as well.

I miss Nose Break and 914 (because there was one in the middle of the trail, you rode right thru the doors). Both gone now.

down Flagstaff way...

...there's a trail called "Lost Burrito".

According to Cosmic Ray, it was named after Rex Phester rode up the stupid thing and "lost a partial Martian's breakfast burrito in one, hunky, undigested, golf ball size urp."

Dumb Azz that I am, I took that as a challenge. My urp had several pieces...

I've yet to ride it, but...

Plumber's Crack in Levis-Trow, Wisconsin is a hilarious name for a section of the Toad Road trail. Even better, it looks like a real fun place to ride:

 

[TKR]

American Standard - Jim Thorpe, PA. Named after the toilet bowl by the trail entrance.
Tombstone Ridge - Michaux, PA. A narrow ridgeline with flat rocks that stick up at angles resmbling tombstones - so cool.
Cannonball Trail - Ringwood/Skyline, NJ. Supposedly in Rev War they moved cannonballs down this trail to fight the Brits.

 

[Fischman]

Death Crotch-- An aptly named fork off the Headquarters Trail between Laramie and Cheyenne, Wy.

 

[Hardtails Are Better]

Squeezeplay- Merli Sarnoski State Park, Pa. Just like Plumber's Crack, only W/O the bridge thingy in the middle.

 

[jonot]

Hells Gate: Once your headed down there's no turning back. About 1km of 50/60kmh+ descent.

Nirvana: This trail is like heaven. Highest track in the forest, hardest to get too, and the most enjoyable.

Cambodia - Memorial Park

I live 30 minutes from Conyers and have never heard that one! maybe we should post it as such!

Memorial Park -- is that the one in Houston? If so, that was some fast fun riding! just watch out for the walkers and kiddies!

Damn, you really know your FL trails.....a shoutout to Ft. Pierce and Razorback, I'm impressed. If you enjoy palmettos you would have loved the trails at Jonathon Dickenson State Park, made Dance look like nothin..

I spent about 4 months in south FL re-building a hotel on Hutcheson Island. I showed up with my 5" travel K2 Beast and freaked some folks out. It really smoothed out the Dance though. So there's good riding at Jon Dickenson? I never went there b/c I figured there was nothing there. Hmmmm.

I rode my first teeter totter at Ft Pierce. Talk about some fun! I remember showing up like 40 minutes before dark without my lights and just slamming out a lap. I'll never forget wondering when I'd run into bums under those overpasses! I'll also never forget thinking there was a gator in that murky water and not to slip up as I passed! Good motivation to stay in control!

FL surprised me, that's for sure!

 

[k2biker]

I nearly forgot....the old K-Mart trails in West Palm! Those rocked! The only time I got to ride there before they got dozed I met up with this "local" who was a German transplant. He showed me the best circuit and we rode all those bridges -- now those were awesome! There was this one that you entered head on and went up and over this roller only to drop into this right-handed berm and slingshot up another roller! I'd never ridden bridges until that day and I'll never forget that particular one.

Re: Conyers

A local told me that story last weekend when I was visiting, I guess I should have mentioned it was an unofficial name

And yep, part of the fun at MP is the walkers and runners
