When you come to The New River Gorge in West Virginia, you can definitely expect some adventure. The gorge is home to some of the best mountain biking trails in the world. We’re pretty confident that it’s about the most fun you can have on two wheels. While riding bikes on off-road trails isn’t exactly new, there’s still plenty of room for beginners and novices to get involved. And one of the best ways to do that is to go ahead and get your hands dirty by helping to build some trail. That’s exactly what some local Scouts in Fayetteville, West Virginia did on a beautiful fall weekend in late 2010. When you stop and think about all of the Scouts that will be coming to the area for the 2013 Jamboree and beyond, you’re struck by one seriously large realization: we’re going to need some more trails.

Short cross or speed cross (SC) is the newest form of mountain biking. The idea is to ride short, narrow forest paths with rocks and roots, but not necessarily any ramps on them.

The altitude of each path does not have to vary much. The ultimate direction of each path from vertical aspect can be either up or down. The transitions between these essential parts are to be taken lightly and stopping at the beginning of every path is to provide maximum amount of thrilling action gained through the speed. The best fitting bicycle for SC is probably lightweight, but long travel full suspension bike.
