It's still a work in progress, so no laughing! We've spent about two solid weekends building this stuff, with a few hours here and there mixed in. Everything is pretty wide so it's not too hard to ride. The teeter is a blast! You can just bomb it and practically launch off of it before it hits the bridge on the other side! Or, of you're in the mood for some slow lovin', you can back it off a notch or two and kind of stall in the middle before it swings down. Either way, it's great! After the teeter, you go up a slight incline where you have an option to get off to the right on a steep skinny. Right now we have the 4' lander there temporarily so you can just drop off if you so desire. If you keep going on the main line, the bridge banks left and then right and drops about 4-5'. It then levels out for about 20-25' at which point you have another option. This one is really fun! It's a banked berm that shoots you out back on to the driveway. We hope to link this line with the skinny line we built under the main stunt. We haven't finished the rest yet so the berm is the end. The plan is to go up and over the shed and then drop off the end. It'll be a drop of about 12-13' onto that 4' lander you see in the pictures. Can't wait to give that a go! The low line is quite challenging even though it's only 6" off the ground. It starts out with a 3" skinny about 10' long. After that you make two 90 degree turns. We put just enough wood to make it interesting. And the final obstacle is a 1" tabletop-shaped skinny! Yeah, 1"!! It's really tough! The third line is actually in the foreground of the main stunt. It's not much, really. It's a dirt jump step up to a bridge and then you ride down another bridge. That's still a work in progress too. Well, I hope you likey! Come up and give it a shot. This property borders a county park so we have a lot more cool stuff to ride there.

Wow , looks smaller on film , although the one at the bottom of the second set taken from the driveway gives a pretty realistic view of just how tall it really is.
Ok ya'll , come getcha some !

I only communicated this way so I could get my first post up! You know how it is to post just for numbers, right? We bid on 3 ramps today - 6' quarter to quarter, 4' quarter to quarter with deck, and 11' quarter. We will find out Sat.

An 11' quarter in your front yard? Your homeowner's insurance rep's gonna have a stroke! :devil:

The 11' quarter (should we win it) will go in the back woods along my property line. We could buzz down the hill to hit it. We would also make a wall ride next to it that we could hit from the quarter.
NICE

The final word... we will meet Sunday at 10:30. YAFRO guys can get there early if you want just in case Taf and I are late getting out of church. 10:30 is when Will and Wendy will be there. Come one come all.

The Sunday YAFRO ride was a blast. Thanks Will and Wendy for coming up today. This was my last day on a bike until ski/snowboard season is over. The mountain owns me now. Maybe some stray stunt rides on a Sunday - we'll see. Thanks for a great year YAFRO guys. I look forward to building some REAL stunts next year - that stuff is just too easy!

The ride was excellent, yafro bros! Kinda like the shed without shuttling... You didn't miss much after you left, E.C. We played around by the pavillion and stuff. I'm super jealous of your location, too, Phil; so much riding with so little commitment, so close!
PM me if you wanna tag team babysit while one or the other hits some stunts in yer yard :thumb:
Thanks again!
