so i've taken the reins as trailboss at an old spot. folks quit riding there, and they didn't get touched for over a year until i started working on them again. all the jumps are shoulder height or so (5ft) and like 10ft gaps or so up top, then there's a 15' stepdown, a big berm and 2 bottom sets which are 6ft or so and 16-18ft gaps. here's a teaser, i got my cam back tonight, so i'll get some shots when i go out tomorrow




it goes:
straight jump
right hip
straight jump
straight jump
straight jump
roller
pinner stepdown or bonzai pit to wallride
180º berm, soon to be waist high or higher and vert
bonzai pit
first bottom jump
2nd bottom jump​

2 bottom sets are straight, and i'm putting more in down the bottom after it. doing a left hip off of the 3rd jump, and off the 4th i'm doing a transfer to transfer back into the 5th. i got big plans. more pics tomorrow

(i'm 15 if anyone honestly cares, age doesn't mean sh!t anymore)

more stuff, i forgot the cam again today. this is the 2nd jump, poaching kids cut down the lander so they could clear it cos they really all kinda suck. same exact kids who ride wet jumps there, skid, case, cut across bowls so they can hit one jump etc. built it back up to it's original glory.

from the launch:

You better lay down the law if those kids are disrespecting your trails. make a sign that asks nicely to respect the jumps.

Nice work, Grom. Keep it up! Looks and sounds like a really nice spot.

I would advise against threatening anyone, except as an absolute last resort.... I've seen people flip out and vandalize after being run off of jumps.
