What Do The Locals Say?

By walker on 4/25/2008 on walker's blog

I'm in the Hawaii as I write this and boy what a trip it has been already. Not a ton of mountain biking here, but I still love hearing about the scene from my local friends.

Near where we are staying is the home of some great downhill. I was told last night that this trail was the home of the 1994 world cup. That piqued my interest and I sat there wondering: why didn't I bring my mountain bike. Well, I'm in the hotel and watching MTB porn will have to do. But I wanted to keep it local, so I took a few "rides" through some Hawaiian MTB sites.

Downhill Hawaii has some great forum posts about the riding in Hawaii. Sure wish I had taken a test drive through this site before I came here... 

Bike Maui advertises "Bike Down a Volcano" on their website. How cool would that be? 

Local Shops seem to always be the best bet. I love talking to locals about where to ride and fly.

Then there's this vide - NICE!!!
