Yes.....the ground is drying out nicely. We didn't get a whole lot of rain last night out of that storm system, so I would imagine things should be OK by Saturday. What's the other place?motomike said:
Greensboro NC, Country Park

- Start date
first of all, yes it was by a river and a landfill. second, We could go to hobby park, salem lake, or some secret jumps just down the road from country park.

Is this the Candler, or something like that, jumps? I think I PM'ed somebody about those one time or another...
no, its off of Cone Blvd. in Greensboro. Very nice and big. Not too sure about the camping thing...
Cone jumps.......THAT'S what I was trying to think of!! 
I'm an idiot sometimes.

oh yeah! within five minutes of Country Park. Just in case. some dudes keep making those jumps at Cone bigger and bigger!
Wind is amazing!!! The jumps are just fine. only a couple of small puddles. It'll be great.
do you have spiked tires? It would be so cool to shut down, say, Sugar Mtn. and hold a freeride comp. there.
The giant hairdryer came on today and hooked us low-landers up for the weekend. Temps around 60 and sunny. Nice. 
beautifully put, greyhound.
looks like a cool place, we may have to hit that up soon
anyone have directions to it coming from east of it. i know go down I-40 west but thats it.
do you know what the official name of the park is that mapquest would recognize. just like greensboro county park
any one got directions from hickory or an address or a name that is recognized?
First, I wouldn't plan on doing a whole lot of digging this weekend...all that red clay we've used has been hauled in, and we're trying not to excavate or build with any of the existing dirt, which is not really suitable. There is a scheduled build date in a couple of weeks, and that's when we could really use the extra hands. The first couple of berms are nothing compared to the monster we've got planned, and there's still the big table which hasn't been started.
Having said that, everyone should come and ride this weekend. I will be up there Saturday afternoon and probably Sunday.
For mapquest directions, use 3110 Forest Lawn Dr, Greensboro, NC 27455-1623.
And Biggins, you're welcome to camp in my backyard if you want.
I live about a mile away from the park.

Yeah, Ben...you're good to go. US-220 North( turns into Battleground Ave) turn right on Pisgah Church Road and then almost an immediate left on Jaycee Park Drive. You can park behind the Lewis Center at the corner of Forest Lawn Drive and Jaycee Park. Look forward to meeting you, man. You bringing your AS-X? I'll have my Bullit, so you'll have some big bike company.

Statistically, it's possible you two could be sick on the same day.....as long as nobody gets any pics of you guys and posts them on the Internet for your boss to see.
This place looks great. I wish I still lived in Chapel Hill - just a hop skip and a jump (literally and figuratively) away. But Noooooo! I had to move to Naptown... Ptttttppp! On me.
I'll definately hit it up next time I'm down for a visit.

take forest lawn all the way to the end. by the baseball field. park there and ride to the scoreboard (outside of the field, of course) Jumps start there. Oh yeah, there is a trail there, too, if any body wants to, well, see what a 50 foot climb could do to ya.
who's gonna be there on sunday? i already dedicated myself to helping a friend move on saturday and my mom is coming into town to play babysitter so i can actually go on a date w/ my wife! yeah!
Hey Brandon.....if I can get done in time with some Sunday obligations, I could get out there around 2 or 3 o'clock. I'll have a better idea by tomorrow afternoon. But since these are so close to me, I'm sure we'll run into each other sooner or later. By the way.....congrats on the 3rd place finish at Fontana. You had some good competition in that group.

Hey Copper ill be out there Sunday for sure, Just got my Swinger 4way in and new springs for my fork so im stoked.
it was sweet today
the course keeps getting harder and harder. I believe the rain will not even soak in the faces by spring time. We may have to make the jumps a bit more lippy. It's really easy to over shoot the landings. It's getting better and better!
It's getting better and better!
merritt when is recycles gonna open as a shop?

Once again, the next two workdays are coming up this weekend. Saturday and Sunday, ALL DAY. We have arranged to have two tractors, a dump truck and a bobcat working as well. We will be adding a ~28~foot table top, a 6 foot monster berm, huge six pack, and another table similar to the main one already in place. We need all the help that we can get, because the tractors can only do so much, which still is a lot. We also need people who are good at building really nice lips for the six pack.
Oh yeah, and to those who have ridden this place, we are toying around with the idea of making a new line to double off of the log jump all the way down the hill! HUGE!

Thats kinda a cool idea, it might be a little big for me but that table thing off the log is really akward.motomike said:
