I know this is a "secret" trail but any hints as to where this is? Feels like it's on the way up to big bear but could be off

Crestline trail. Not on Trailforks but you can find on Strava.

What about Danny Hart , Brook , Katy Winton……no news …..

Hart is probably going to get a deal paying $70k-100k/yr. ...In 2021/early 2022 he probably could have got $175k+ when the market was flush with cash. 
Brook will probably be in that $40k-70k range with whoever he signs with, if he gets on a program.  
Katy probably not getting a salary anywhere if she signs. Likely will get bikes/race fees and some travel paid.

If Hart and Brook get lucky, they will end up with bonus intensive contracts and maybe a $15k salary with how late in the cycle things are. Most big names get their offers before the end of the previous season.

Just so he doesn't feel so bad, its a really poorly kept secret at this pointSmile  It used to be on trail forks like 5 years ago, I have not checked to see if it is still there.  Just be nice to our trailCool

Just noted a detail which seems to be not a detail at all.

Commençal/Muc-Off is sponsored by Fox shox. AND Sram. When SRAM, for years, practices a "all or nothing" kind of deal.

Just saying that.

Almost as bad as Area 51 in SoCal.

I live in Vancouver BC and have never even ridden in CA, outside of Palm Springs on a vacation, and I know exactly where that trail is and what it looks like from all the videos/testing shot on it over the years. Doesn't really seem like a secret? All the Trinidad stuff made me seek it out and find it a few years ago when it was on Trailforks.

Yeah, I kinda LOL'd at the video description calling it a secret DH trail when there's literally so many team videos of it.  Fun Fact, I got a picture with Loic Bruni there about 5 years ago.

Mentioning both the real and false trail names verbatim together in this thread raises the page’s SEO and makes the page more findable for those searching either name. It also negates the purpose of the false trail name. 
 

Just because the location is an open secret doesn’t mean it should be even more obvious. If you really want to ride the trail, you can find it, but putting in effort to discover it forces you to understand the level of obfuscation required to keep a trail like this from getting dozed. 
 

At the dawn of Trailforks people were putting all kinds of secrets on the map. Many got taken off quickly, but the first year or so was insanely indescreet. 
 

Anyways- this is team rumors not trail rumors!

TF. He deleted the post, and as mentioned prodigiously, it is only the second-worst secret behind what team "Freckles" Norton is riding for now. No need to shit all over a guy.

For the record, I would fully get behind a trail rumors thread. No locations, just pictures of the filthiest illegal trails out there

Am I the only one who thinks waiting so long to announce this stuff has actually kind of taken the excitement out of it? I was pretty pumped after the new years but the excitement has kind of wore off now.

Wait til Dak signs for Gwin’s new Yeti team. 🤣🤣🤣

Going off the feedback stand and the Sweet Protection helmets on the wall, he’s in the Wide Open office but they don’t distribute a bike brand.
