I have seen some pics from there and I was wondering if they were still there and if they are fun? So lemme know what you know. Thanks
Not true.It's doable but it's a biznatch!!!!buildyourown said:IMO, these jumps aren't worth it on a 26" bike. I've seen it done, but only by a few. I'd venture to say that they are impossible on a DH/FR bike.
But if you can jump there it makes everywhere else seem easy. It would be nice to get more mtbers out there.buildyourown said:I stand corrected. Obviously not impossible, but definitly not for the faint of heart. Those things are really steep and really tight.
right.ioscope said:so these are just the greenlake jumps... right?

Something else i thought of... I know it is tempting, but don't go up in the woods and do the 3 foot wall drop thing. You are not suppose to ride on the hillside, and that gives mtbers a bad wrap with the locals. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the post...

Woodland Park Zoo is next to Woodland Park is next to Green Lake is next to Beths Cafe for 12 egg omellete.......
this is painfully true.Mr. Beans said:Word of warning... The ground is damn hard... I mean really, really hard. So, it is a good idea to choose your protection accordingly no matter what the bmx guys are or are not wearing.
its been done on a 7inch by 7 inch dh/fr bikebuildyourown said:IMO, these jumps aren't worth it on a 26" bike. I've seen it done, but only by a few. I'd venture to say that they are impossible on a DH/FR bike.
I can barely ride them on my AS-X, and although it is certainly doable, unless you're extremely good, it won't be much fun.buildyourown said:IMO, these jumps aren't worth it on a 26" bike. I've seen it done, but only by a few. I'd venture to say that they are impossible on a DH/FR bike.
As one whos ridin BMX, hardtail and full squish (it can be fun if you get the hang of it) This is true, I too bear the scars of those jumps, then I wised up and got pads. These jumps are really a big part of the BMX community and are fast becoming a MTB hotspot. Anyone Down for an after X-mas ride there?Toshi said:this is painfully true.
Funny thing about that, the first time I went down there last fall, I brought the Iron Horse SGS (5x6 travel) down there. This BMXer was just killing all the sets, going huge, and looking fairly amused at my sad attempts to hit the baby line (I'm just starting out hitting any DJs). So we're talking a bout bikes a bit, and I offer him atry on it: he blazed the big line like he was John Cowan, then rolled back and joked about how heavy the bike is. It's definately do-able. Gotta go back and practice more on my Christmas STP next month...buildyourown said:IMO, these jumps aren't worth it on a 26" bike. I've seen it done, but only by a few.
