I rode Duthie Hill Park this daylight savings morning of March 14, 2010. I’d like to thank my main man Adam for convincing me that it was worth waking up at 7am on a blustery 35 degree morning to go riding. It was more than worth it.
Duthie Hill Park is a new set of trails located about 30 minutes east of Seattle. There’s a ton of stuff to ride:
- 6 miles of awesome, flowing XC trails
- Some insane freeride drops and features that I wouldn’t dare hit with my abilities
- Awesome practice section of log rides, small drops, and more.
We rode for about two hours this morning on a little bit of everything. We rode all of the XC trails, practiced some super small drops, and went on the beginner freeride trail.
I have a feeling Duthie will become my new favorite place to ride. The freeride and practice areas are better than the Collonade, and the XC trails are as good as any in the Seattle area. I can’t wait to go back… and take some photos. But for now, enjoy this sick video made by one of the Duthie volunteers:

Do you really rock those alto bump/jumps?
Unreal.
