We decided it's time to change the trail game forever. 2011 is year of the massive lines. None of this huge 8 pack straight down a hill bull$hit.
We building full blown trails with hips, berms, long lows, step ups, step downs.
This will be the biggest trail line ever built.
Stay tuned.

The first gap is 40 feet with a 9 foot tall lip.

The next hit out of the berm is a 30 foot hip, with a 40 foot tall landing. Pics to come soon.

bout fvcking time!! Glad I didn't buy that bike for nothing. ;)


You need some hands down there?


Looking sick as hell. I just forgot about ski season in about 0.2 seconds.
Yeah brotha. I can use you. You the only guy not there i trust to build the best $hit. Just can't pay you. Free room tho. Our budget is shot.
If you want in, you are in.

I am looking very forward to seeing more pics of this trail build. That first shot with the landing making you guys look like ants blows me away. That is some serious sh1T

I'm pretty sure something is bad is going to happen to the earths orbit with all that dirt stacked up over there.

Man the comments on vital are awesome. So many experts out there! If zach had only known ahead of time who to contact!

True.

This is the only forum I look at because it seems like everyone on here actually digs and rides and is not all about negativity.

The Mega Trails are legit as fvck. We workin out the kinks so others don't take the violence. It's some $hit to deal with speed at dj's that hasn't been seen yet.
C-Money broke his T-12 overshooting 80 feet to flat.
He's healing already, and will be shredding by the end of summer.

point of curiosity:

once you gotten to that size, and degree of downhill trails, does pumping become almost irrelevant...?

I'm sure it depends or your transitions and the speed you have/need, but what were your thoughts going into the design, just blast and ride, or work it the whole way?

Heal soon C-Money. 80 feet to flat is some real serious sh1t. Zach - WTF? - 50 foot long low to boost 3 is wicked.

How the hell do you guys pony up to that size stuff? I put the skirt on trying anything over 12ft. But you northern guys have been a little tapped (in a good way) for a long time - I've got a scene report on NorCal in an old issue of BMX Action showing dudes like Bob Medrano blasting big stuff.

Can't wait to see more footage.
