Seventh Secret - Mt. Fromme, BC

Top-to-bottom run down Seventh Secret with all but one feature. There's one extra long log ride near the bottom, but I usually save that for when I'm riding Bookwus. Heavy breathing towards the bottom as I'm not fit enough to ride hard for 4+ minutes.

Back in the 80's or possibly the 90's, there was a posting on a board in a bike shop about making a new trail one weekend. I showed up at Fromme that Saturday with a few others and we hiked up to the seventh switchback. We barely had any tools and just began hacking at the forest this new trail under direction of the bike shop owner I believe. It didn't look like much in the early days and was way too hardcore for me then so I never rode it afterwards. The trail was illegal and entrance was hidden, hence the Secret part. Glad it became what it is due to the hard work and dedication of the trail builders.
Fun fact: There were seven of us, on the seventh day of the seventh month.

That all sounds made up🤔

[@frenchyroastify]

@@the6ig6adwolf Nope. I only worked on it on the first day. The bike shop was Robson bikes which no longer exists. It was a great shop with great mechanics.

[@BlueberryFarm900]

25 years of mtb all over the US and Canada, and this is my all-time favorite trail. Excellent run, nice Gangler @2:53.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks! Seventh is pretty fun. Nice mix of everything.

[@tahabakhtiari6297]

That feature is the bane of my existence, everytime i see it i tell myself next time !!!!!

[@donovanjohnson6531]

Dang bro. I’m doing good just to not go down in an enduro stage. Nice riding.

[@overtoomm]

crazy have fast u can ride this! gooooood job

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks!

[@davidkline4372]

I always find that instead of "Hey there!" and "Thank you very much." when passing other mtbers I go with "Mind if I play through?" Gets a chuckle every time.

[@Strider362]

what a run!

[@TheDHJunkie]

wow i wish i could ride that fast! Also the trail looks super dry for November.

[@ddangerousddave]

Definitely filmed this during the summer then sat on the footage lol

[@joshgraham117]

Damn dude you make the gangler look so easy. Maybe I should try it

[@ddangerousddave]

It's got decent traction in the dry. The trickiest part about the Gangler for me is the really tight left hander coming off of it to stay on the trail.

[@Fodemanga]

What is a gangler?

[@BermUnit]

I did it at dusk tonight with no lights and poor eyesight, lol. How many times you done The Gangler?

[@ddangerousddave]

Probably a dozen or so times now. Still remember trying to work up the nerve to do it the first time!

[@BermUnit]

I can’t tell if i’m scared of it or not. if you had to rate 2 fromme features...one harder and one easier...what would those be?

[@averagepinoyrider8114]

I really want to try that trail but im not good at techy still..good run

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks! Seventh is a really fun option. Quite the pedal up though.

[@ET-ns5wz]
