Wow, im suprised he hit it again after that really bad, roll out one. Thats just what i get for leaving early. Props to him for hittin it on that bike
i wanna try, will anyone be there this next weekend
oh yeah. probably both days around 1:00 people should be there. As long as its dry.
Im gonna try to make it next saurday, but we'll see how things go
Brandon, come on down here and we'll show you some stuff.
How big is the gap? In grown up feet not Pinkbike feet.

Its something like 20 or 25, motomike probably knows better than i do
The gap on that line is 30-32 US feet. We taped it yesterday.Peete said:
I guess it was a less than flattering angle on the video. I'd love to go up and hit it.gastrocnemius said:
way to got i doubt most people would of kept going after those crashes.HitMan said:
yeah, 30-32 feet to land safely, you can jump waayyy past where we measured it. That is, if you can pedal that fast.
looks like that jump bucks you up pretty hard....
yeah, a little, but he had been buckin' like a bronco a day, though. (and scaring the crap out of me). Hitman is da man for trying it first. And he knows it...
Definitely. With a mellower transition, it wouldn't be that hard to land halfway down the chute.bizutch said:
Props to those who've gone for it, though (not me).
motomike said:
that was rather impressive considering the difficulty in obtaining speed.....but he wasn't quite the first one to try it....db1 hit it before the other lip was added....he didn't make it either
hitman came close to clearing it to the transition but it's gonna take some interesting use of speed for someone to clear the whole thing.......but it'll happen soon db1's hardtail attempt before the fast line was cut out. pretty much impossible over the tables.
yeah, I thought about that after I posted. I was thinking about the new lip and the newly cut double before it. Say, here's a good idea, lets get both of 'em out there at the same time!

Im game!
It'll be wet...
Where is this?? Is it anywhere near Greensboro? I'll be up there the 2nd through the 6th.....
yeah dude, its like 10-15 minutes from where you will be. try to mapquest Pisgah church rd @ battleground ave.BigMike said:
The step down is part of the Country Park bike park (see other threads in this subforum).
For mapquest directions, use 3110 Forest Lawn Dr, Greensboro, NC 27455-1623.

got any new footage of that gap? It'd be cool to see how it has changed. (ie:do-able)
i think i have a clip of you clearing it.....i'll shrink it and post it on frs or on noah's site when it's up and running.
yeah, Jim S. @Paul's showed me that site. That's gonna be awesome!
i put up a really scaled down version of the vid on FRS but it's been downsized so much that it's really crappy.....but at least you'll get the idea. i'll put up the full 16mb version on noahs site...unless someone wants to host it for me

that's very cool, manimal. It's kinda like the Progression 1 video. I like the way it shows DMoser trying it first, then changing over time to something doable.
sorry it was such crummy quality, i've got the full size version but nowhere to host it just yet (16mb)
did you like the close-up cameo of your face that i put in there

you guys make me feel like i dont ride enough
^yeah, that close-up scared me a bit.....DB1, you can NEVER ride enough.

Yea, but i dont think once every 2 weeks is cutting it.

ooooo, that's nasty. I think I might forget how to ride a bike in that time. Hey, is Dan's place gettin' fix up? I'd help...
motomike said:
Nope, me and him arent really friends anymore (long story)
oh, ok. blame it on natural selection. Anyway, back to biking.......I am supposed to be gettin' a ton of dirt this week(well, several tons, actually), so I should be getting pix up in the coming weeks.....anybody have skills building skinnies 'n stuff? I have endless amounts of lumber and no idea what to build.dickiesbike1 said:
what if I just had a bunch of peeps over and everyone just went crazy with wood and dirt and stuff.....get a little taste of everything. I've got a few ideas, like some wooden ramps and a huge soft mulch "pit", where everyone could try new tricks and not get hurt(as bad).
i think Jeff Lenowsky has one of those mulch pit things in his yard. I think it would be pretty cool to have some Northshore stuff integrated into the dj's, like have a drop to a decent transition kinda as a roll in. I dont seem to see stuff like that very often. Id be more than willing to help, just let me know when and where
Well, I already have a platform built to use as a step-up/step-down thing. Think of it as a tall and skinny picknick table. I think it would be soooo cool to have a super long line with dirt jumps and drops/skinnies integrated into eachother.
