So i'm having a problem at the local DJ spot.
Last year the local bike club got $2k from Kona to start a jump pot in New Orleans.
The 26" crowd (me and my buddies) took the ball and put in serious man hours to construct a descent spot for all to enjoy.
Fast forward about 18 months.
The 26" crew are the ones doing all the necessary weed eating,etc..
Still, the spot exists for all to enjoy.
So know the place has taken off and the weekends will routinely see over 20 riders and most are 20".
Some of the better 20" riders have taken it on themselves to re-shape take offs and landings b\c they said they were having to pedal so basically they BMX-ified the place.
My first ride after that i had to adjust my style and all the flow the 26" guys had achieved is now gone.
The 20" guys are my associate friends and the 26" guys are my immediate buds.
Now i have the 26" saying that they are done with helping out b\c of the BMX-ification which happened last year.
How do you guys keep all riders satisfied at your jump spots?
IE, balance the desires of the 20" and 26" rider.
I'm kinda the liasion between the 2 and now all i have is impending drama just for trying to accomodate both types of lines.
BTW, the place is small and we only have 3 lines(small, medium and large) and cannot expand due to the Levees and the core of engineers.
