I'll be out there friday with a saw to cut that log out of the DJs. The kids are out of school so we'll bring our bikes. If I can get some help(strong back, weak mind) I want to rebuild the stupid jump. I know once the log is cleared from the DJs Peter will be all over them fixing the lips up.
I plan on finishing by 1pm so I can beat the traffic home.

Good meeting you. I'm still a little salty about blowing up the big bike but the Evil was fun and I had a good time watching you guys hit the rocks and gully. I'll stay in touch about the upcoming weekends.

it was pretty good. ground was just a lil wet, not too bad. still hit up some good stuff, taz of course whacked his shoulder, but i jsut talked to him and he went to the doc and said it in fact is NOT BROKEN. definitely good news, but he strained the living hell out of just about every ligament in his shoulder and stretched his left pec out a good bit.

I'll be free the two middle weekends of November and Brady should be healed by then so we'll work it out.

'Nuther possibility is you come down on Saturday 11/6 for the MTX race at the BMX state finals, stay overnight and we ride big bikes on Sunday 11/7.

I'll be there sunday w/ my son and a couple others.

The stupid jump got knocked over. It's rebuildable but it will require a couple of strong backs. Everything else around the stupid jump is in good shape. But then boulders and rock gardens are pretty low maintenance.
I've been trying to get someone to meet out there on a friday to fix it and to clear the fallen tree in the DJs. I don't work on fridays so I'm not burning family time or ride time to do this.
Be aware that this weekend southside ATL will be the Redneck Center of the Universe with the NASCAR(Non-Athletic Sport Comprising All Rednecks)race.

Yeeeh, Git 'er dun! :oink: :oink:

Hey Swine, have you been doing any shuttling at Windy Gap? I'm dying to get up there. Anything else DH up your way?

To tell the truth, ive never even heard of windy gap...elijay is around a 2 hour drive. Our team that i used ride with never mentioned it either. We used to have a secret trail up in north ga, but we have since stopped riding there becuase of it being illegal and being on military land :think: .

If anybody is up for some good urban, Ga tech is great. i dont know my way around on tech, but im sure it couldnt be to hard.
