After our local dirt jumps were destroyed we were in a bind for a place to re-build. one of the "crew" happened to know someone with land.....and he gave permission to build on it! this place is awesome! i wasn't available to help out with the first phase but i'll be sure to be there to build on the other field. anyhoo, the pics will do most of the explaining of the set-up. roll-in, double, berm, table, table, hip, double. a new line is being built that will start on the roof of the barn (pic) and gap down to another line of doubles. there's a box jump in the middle that has an attachable wall.

so here goes.

view from the fence.

the car is already in the works....gonna be part of a table-top. it's a BMW too! :thumb:

also, the field to the left of the first pic has been offered up by the owner to be used for us too. we just can't tear down the fence so there will be a gap over the fence. this place is so full of potential.

it's less than 5 minutes from hobby park so however long it takes you to get there. horneytown is right outside of high point where i live, takes me about 20 min to get to hobby

Hobby park has a pretty nice DS course and something like a 7 mile technical xc trail, the DS course is worth hitting if your in the area. Oh yeah, if it takes you 1.5 hrs to get to W-S you can probably be at hobby within an hour and 45 min

hobby is a fun DS course. fun double/step-down in the woods then out to a big tripple, berm, step-up, berm, 4-pack, berm, step-down, table

here's db1 hitting the last table.
