Me and my friend Dave sessioned the new jumps I made in my backyard all day. They are really sweet and we were boosting em. Three days of work to get them packed and rock hard. They should last as I made them all out of clay.
I don't feel like posting the pics again so here is a link-

they're nice jumps and all, but why not put then back to back rythum style so you don't have to get up to speed 3 times to hit 3 jumps. even if you yard isn't long enough doze one jump to make a berm.

Thanks for the compliments. As for the making a line I did not really want that because there is already a spot down the road with smaller dj. There is like a technical 8 pack. I just wanted some jumps that could kick us up high enough to learn some tricks and have fun. We sessioned from 9 in the morning to 9 at night and did not get bored. Maybe eventually I can make more but finding the right dirt/clay is hard cause if not they just fall apart.
And yes this is my backyard :)
Thanks

Is the p.2 a short or long frame and how do you like it.
When i asked Chris about a month ago he told me, "The short just felt too cramped, so i opted for the long..."

Exactly as he said I wanted a more stable bike. Coming from a moto-x back ground I felt I would rather have a longer more stable wheel base then a more flickable bike. I absolutelky love the bike. After a few sessions at my local dirt jumps I was back to hitting the biggest jumps that only me and my friend pictured had hit. I had hit it before on my big hit but there is a big difference of jumping with a fs compared to a hardtail.
Hardtail-More pop/more precise
FS-Lower flight unless you preload like a mother/Much more forgiving.
PersonallyI love jumping the hardtail and I only use the Big Hit for trail rides and downhill now.
Lastly when I was making my decision to buy a hardtail I looked into many frames. I tried multiple also including some 24 inchers and I never really felt comfortable. However I did really like how evil imperials rode. This was way out of my price range so I looked for bikes with similiar geometry. When I first rode the P2 I felt comfortable :)
Lastly the P2 is a budget build the components are not the greatest but they do work. For around $700 it is a deal. Lots of people complain about the dirt jam fork but it really is not that bad. It has air preload/spring preload/and ssv damping just like the rest of the dirt jump series.
The only reall weakness's that stand out are the wheels/lack of 20mm axle.
Hope this helped.
