    Hi! I do all mountain in the Collserola and around, with occasional hops in La Molina o Les Angles. Are you doing DH only?

    Cool cool - well if you feel like going for a ride one of these days I'd be down. I'll probably go around here one of the week days (if the weather clears) and then I'll go with a buddy in San Llorenz or Caldes during the week end.

    great! so what's your favorite? I've been to Ordal a few times but I find it too rocky, I didn't like it so much. Collserola is great, but I'm getting worried about sharing the trails with hikers and making it dangerous for them. Also I thing I've done all the good ones too many times already and want to find new places. Would you have any links for the trails you would recommend in Sant Andreu or Badadona by any chance?

    Thanks Scaredosshaka. Well if you like jumps the best place, in my opinion is Badalona because there are fast trails with big and small jumps. Near badalona, in santa coloma there is a woodpark with lots of jumps built with wood. These jumps in general are smaller than the other ones in badalona.
    Finally I recomend you sant andreu de la barca. Yo can go by train!

    You understood wrong haha. The "flow" or "cal dimoni" or every trails are public. Never close, you can go everyday if you want.
    Probably this sunday I'll be in Soldeu because is the last weekend that's opened but next week I'll ride in collserola or badalona. If you want I can show you some trails ;)
