Update: Trails are still going strong. The freeze/thaw over and over again this past winter ruined a lot of the jumps. There's been plenty of water falling so far in 2016 so I've been rebuilding as much as I can. I've been focused on making everything a little bit steeper and taller. Once I...
Please do! There are no tools there (thieves) so make sure to bring a shovel and maybe a couple jugs of water if you need to patch anything up. Hoping to get some sort of basic watering system in place for this summer.
Also, I probably don't need to say this to you guys, but make sure to take...
Right on! I'll be there today and tomorrow, then I'm headed out of town for a few weeks. Hoping to get a lot more jumps running this spring. Let me know if/when you want to make a trip up to Yakima, I can show you where the trails are!
Nice job, dude! That 22.3" in raw might be my dream bike. There's not much else like it out there for a tall guy like myself.
Send me one and I'll make you a rad promo video!

A couple more pics:
Here's a shot of everything, the far line is the biggest, 22 foot hip into a 25 foot double. You can see there are many more jumps that I haven't rebuilt yet.
This is the landing of the hip into the big double. Digging has been tough with the ground being frozen!
Anyone near Yakima up for some medium to big bmx-style trails in the desert? It's in a pretty cool spot, slightly downhill, unlimited space for more jumps. There are a few smaller lines running, 3-4 foot high with 12-15 foot gaps.
I found this spot after it had been abandoned for a few...
General feedback: I'd probably come out and race, but I was told at practice that my rigid fork disqualified me. Come on! I haven't raced in 12 years, what am I going to do, beat everybody? The guy even said that I could run a locked-out suspension fork instead. My buds told me to put...
Yeah, last time I removed and installed splined cranks I swore I was going to buy pinch-bolt cranks next time out.
Existing removal tools don't work with flys?
Haha, yeah... I was just thinking you could argue that pretty much any part that people are running is trendy. All I know is, when I put tall and wide bars on, my bike felt unbelievably better. And besides that, I'm way too tall to ride flat bars. People tell me my 3" rise bars are "huge."...
Don't forget the old trick to use a carpenter's pencil as a spacer when you install the decking/surface. This will allow the right amount of space for water and debris to fall through. I realize it's not as much of an issue with a transition surface, but still.
