Video: the Flying Dutchman DH Trail in Knappa, OR

I did a bit of filming of some local NW rippers on our secret trails in Knappa last week. The guys recently did a trail maintenance day, and the conditions of the trail were incredible. The trail we’re on is called the Flying Dutchman. It’s the shortest trail on the hill, as it only goes [...]
