Why Does Nobody Ride This? Special K [Moose Mountain]

[@rustyrotors50]

Riding some OG trails. Nice work dude. Hoping that trail gets more traffic in the future.

One of my favorite trails. It doesn't get ridden because you end in the middle of nowhere. My favorite 'all mountain' loops are either: Sulphur Pneuma, SK, Bobcat, Sugar Mama. Or from WBC, Mtn Road-Packers, SK, Bobcat, Strange Brew. Or... Up FG, SK, Tom Snow-Packers- West Side trail of your choosing.

Yeah, I'm on the "don't like" camp. I've ridden it 3 times in the last 2 years, and each time I regret it. It's a long way to bike up (I'm not a shuttler). It has a downhill feel, but then turns into a xc ride, followed by some ups. As one said on trailforks...this trail has lost its identity. It becomes very uneventful the last 2/3rd.

I haven't ridden it yet but based on the footage I'd say it's because it doesn't have as much for standout features or character as other trails on the mountain. The first steeps seem sick but after that it's a trail, like a lot of the other stuff on moose. That said, it's still on my list and I can't wait to ride it! It looks like it would be super fun to race, nice, long and pretty tight! it would be a leg burner!

I think its because the ride out is not that accessible to shuttling.

No body rides it because it’s not worth it at all…you’ll ride it once and never do it again. Pure hell.

[@DarkDramon]

I'm so tempted to try special k, but the steepness at the beginning has me a little put off.

No shame in walking a couple of the first sections to get to the goods on the other side!

100% agree with Grumpy, my skills arent there to ride the like first 500m, but then after that it's super fun, and a long enough trail to not feel like you missed much. Just tried it on my 120/110mm bike the other day and it was still good.
