whats yours?

mines rocky singletrack i think

downwards

muddy but flowy

swoopy.

(but rock tech is good too)

I love singletrack that is very slightly downhill & smooth

smooth, swoopy, sunny singletrack for me please

alps

Long, downwards and involves a bit of everything. But then i'm just greedy!

I've actually sat here staring at the screen for 5 minutes thinking about it.

How sad.

Anyway, my favourite is natural singletrack full of mud, roots and rocks, as long as it contains enough natural features to have fun with.

not fast, pumpy, alpine, rocky, forest, sometimes almost at a standstill, off camber, rooty, sporadic glimpses of scenery, sheer drops beside in parts, with little problems in them that involve my arse on the rear tyre and my chest on the saddle 🙂

qwerty, thats chamonix then 🙂

Tight techy rocky steep.

But it's all good.

Anyone done Hermosa creek near Durango?

any 😆

Wooded, up and downy, with minimal bar clearance between trees

J – yea, i've ridden there once before – but without lifts open when we went, i plan to return – i'd like to spend some time there

Yep the holy trail in Chamonix hits the spot…

Tony, thought it would be Tunnels st for you!!!

1800m vertical of sweet tech singletrack 8)

That looks $h1t!!..

Dry, fast, flowing- not too steep, twisty and technical so that I'm on the brakes all the time.

very woody with plenty of roots and jumps.

the twisty swoopy kind in the woods, when it's dry and sunny!

favourite singletrack?

It's all good as long as it points downhill! 😉

If pushed though, steep uber technical natural stuff, off the beaten path, in Morzine and Les Gets. Kind of trails that you only find out about by speaking to people "in the know", and that would be best ridden on a chuckable hardtail with a long travel single crown fork than a DH full susser…

Of what I've ridden so far at least…

nick is that the same as this?

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record: Trail 403/402 Crested Butte.

Some nice flowy dry dusty and buff with enough technical interest to keep you focused…

Failing that I'll settle for this:

I can dream…

Flowing but not fast, for me, fast trails are over in a blur and a whoosh, I like something I can pick my way over. Zoom or bust at Glentress suits me very nicely…

New 4th lane on M1 between J26 and J27 😯

them pics are amazing, id love to go somewhere like that, my favourite bit of single track would have to be a long downhill section with berms and tabletops/jumps and northshore inbetween 😀

@ MetalHeart Is that Joe's Ridge in Fruita? Amazing stuff…

I'd go for the Sovereign trails in Moab. Intense and full-on fun for as long as you can stay out there. Hmmmmmm………………

Sorry. My mind wandered off there.

slightly downhill, fast swoopy bends through thick wood so you have to drop your shoulder to clear trees now and again, with plenty of roots, in the dry!

cynic-al – if its the Holy trail in Cham then yes! looks like it is?

@Mattie H: Yup, tis Joes.

Fast Rocky Singletrack, not full of big rocks but nice compounded stuff, not so much trail centre more natural. need to sample a lot more though to form a better opinion. 😆

Something that stays rideable all year round, has a very slightly downward slope, about twelve inches wide, few roots and rocks for getting air and keeping you honest and has a few cheeky overtaking options. Can think of at least four near where I live. Hit squad hill, pie run, mushroom pie etc at Glentress not too shabby either.

Pine forest, on a peat surface…

anything fun. am hoping to ride Sierre Nevada this summer, recommended?

I much prefer natural stuff to trail centres. Trail Centres are usually just bad weather options for me. One of my favourite trails starts up above the tree line and descends into the woods. It has some very fast bits and enough technical bits to keep things interesting. I like technical but not so technical that it slows me down too much.

At the moment I'd settle for anything dry.

Else: swoopy, twisty, smooth with the odd rock garden thrown in to keep you on your toes.

Dusty.
