ah Fall-City Oregon.this small paradise is shaping up to be quite the
week-end fun zone.Kudos to all the 2-wheelers that ride up with saws and
stash shovels.

a year ago there were nice trails up there,but after getting permision
from the land owners and the foresty service it has turned into a real
delite. (no tetter-todder yet though)

someday i hope to make this a part of a Oregon muni week-end.

Nice. Looks like they're building quite a trail system. It's great
that the land owner is cooperating. They've got a good thing going
there.

I'm going to have to plan a trip down to Salem and Corvallis soon. It
looks like I need to go riding there.

Great pic and video Jagur. I am proud of you for not attempting the 15
foot drop.

That is a great looking trail. I liked the trail signs. :)

Nice job Jag. Looks like some real nice riding. I agree, thanks for
taking the time to add all the captions.

I almost didn't want to look at all of it. It's killing me to see
stuff like that and not be able to get out and do some riding :(

Same here. Torn MCL a few days ago from a wheel-walking fall. My fifth
sprain in 2 1/2 years. Unicycling is tough on the body, at least mine.
It's maddeningly hard to get to sleep without that exhausting uni
session to wear me out.

I had my first experience with that about 15 years ago. After all
sorts of unsuccessful advice from podiatrists, I have been wearing Tulis
heel cups in my shoes ever since. That recommendation came from an
orthopaedic Doc. They cost about $10 and I don't wear shoes without
them, did the job for me. Give that foot time to heal up 'cause that can
linger for a long time and sometimes can result in a heel spur.

U-turn,

Sorry to hear the news. Will things heal up without surgery?

When I first saw this thread title I thought it was going to be about
actual "falls" as in "ouch".

Yes no surgery, which is really helpful. I have this expensive knee
brace which lets me walk around without worrying as much if I'll
reinjure it.

Jagur,

Is that Falls City or Fall City? Looks like a fun ride.

I was at the Oregon Coast and spent some quality time with the dog on
the 'Wilson River Trail West'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/albux09) last Saturday. It's quite an
easy trail but very scenic. When I have more time I want to check out
the Jones/Browns Camp areas too.

UniBrier - Its Time to Ride

Steve De Cuckoo

The Roadrunner or Ground Cuckoo can run at speeds of up to 15 miles per
hour (24 km per hour). It rarely flies and does not migrate. When it is
in danger, it runs or crouches to hide.

The RoadUnier or Cuckoo Cokier can ride at speeds of up to 15 miles per
hour (24 km per hour). It rarely flies and does not migrate. When it is
in danger it UPDs and slides.

fancy this! i found a guy in Salem that has a web site and is making a
video of local riding.

there is a video clip of some of the gnarly stuff at Falls City
including Grannies Kitchen,the newest and most insane trail ive even
seen in the real world.

http://www.norware.com/biking/

*scroll down to where it says* -"Alan Thompson doing some crazy stunts
at the Blackrock trails near Falls City. Includes big cliff drop, entire
upper Granny's Kitchen set (still under construction), high jump/wall,
and stuff on sickter gnar."-

get the 21meg version even if you have 56K,its worth it!

there is a filming crew going up there on Saturday so i hope to sneek
into this upcoming DVD due out in fall.

(drive on down John,you still got time ;))
