Want to know the best place to mountain bike? Ask an expert. We turned to 16-year-old
J. Logan Pierson, the mountain-bike fanatic and Saint Andrews school student
who made the extreme-sports documentary
YX? Why Extreme? Heres what he
had to say: Quiet Waters is the leader in South Florida mountain-biking
innovation with its Expert Area for North Shore [British Columbia]-style stunts
and dirt jumps and also the amazing maintenance thats done on the trails.
Every part of those trails is maintained monthly to keep them in tiptop shape
and to solve any problems that may have arisen. In addition to the challenging,
adrenaline-raising intermediate and expert trails and stunts, it also has extensive
beginner trails that the whole family can enjoy. Because of this, Quiet Waters
5 miles of trails are one of the fastest in the area and an utter joy to ride.
Also, this summer, the area was expanded with even more expert level trails
and stunts, so its constantly progressing to keep all levels of riders
challenged and having fun.
