You got my attention, hehe. The jumps are in Georgetown? or San marcos? I wont be able to get away till sun. Me and a friend started on a 10 pack here in town. Just need more rain right now. The first gap is 23 feet, the second is 12 feet, but it throws you alot higher, more of a trick jump, thats all we got right now. Theres soo much room to build more, but soo hard tofind ppl to help, soo its gonna take awhile. Hey if you have msn messenger, My email is JoshRhame@hotmail.com.

right now they are less 9th street style and more dual slalom style...more like a race course. there probably isnt anything more than 10 feet. we have also started building shore style stunts too. sunday is cool, ill definitely be out there. my email is downhil@collegeclub.com. oh, the jumps are in georgetown. about an hour and a half up 35 for you.

Downhill and Squasher......
there is some downhill courses in the area. First to come to mind is Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort.

One downhill course was put in last year and they are building another. Also they participated in the new Texas State Downhill Series

This year the Downhill race at Comfort will be part of the 2002 STORM Hill Country Challenge. A downhill race combined with a full stage race of Time trials, dirt crits and XC racing.

Contact Jimmy the ranch owner for more info. He can also be reached on the

Bike Mojo Raspa Board


Don't hesitate to contact me. I will get you hooked up if I can.

They could have all 3 events and make it huge. Owell, Peace , Josh
I have heard Jimmy talking about your family. Something about trying to hook up trails across both ranches??? Or something to that effect......

Jimmy rulz!

And I (briefly) met Jordan and Todd last year when they were out building.

See ya out on the trails
