We dug at The Farm 2.0 today, then we went out to Secret and shredded the new line. I rode like an as$ clown, but Chad, and Abe killed it. I flat bottomed the new hip so hard, i thought i was gonna lose my front teeth, again.

Me Flaty after the flat bottom retardness.


Abe tucky the new big set.


Chad ultra flaty

whoa. you guys build some pretty frickin' awesome dirt stuff there!
granted, the very thought of riding something like that scares the living sh*t outta a n00b like me, but still. Impressive stuff.

Makes me wana go dig my own spots and try out some dirtwork of my own.

2 weeks?!?
I might not even have bought a new bike by then!

Seriously though, if I weren't right in the middle of moving house, I'd be seriously inclined to go make something. I was bored of street and just getting into the dirt scene with a few other guys when I had to give riding up alltogether (various reasons).

I actually went and checked out the two spots we built and used way back when I was a kid, and the foundations are suprisingly still there, the jumps just turned into grassy humps now but I reckon with some work it could be salvaged; not worth it though, what we thought were "big" and "killer" doubles when we were 14 now looks lame as hell... you could jump on foot over them all LOL

Anyway, don't wana H/J this thread with my nostalgia :p

That's a good sign. At least they weren't plowed or turned into a shopping center or tract homes. Start digging. And don't forget to post directions when you're finished.

You should probably give up on this dirt jump thing. I don't think it's working out for you. Plus, I think that maybe you should try and build something that isn't so girly, or ghey. Maybe you should try road biking. I hear that's gnar.

:)

Nice work homie.

Stealing is bad karma... And the last place you want bad karma is on dirt jumps!
Of course, you were just kidding though!~ dig it!

Yeah, that is an Op tabe for Chad. He actually does them better that way than his normal way. Chad is a trail beast, and probably the best trail rider i have ever shredded with. He doesn't really trick that much, but i don't think there is a line out there that could stop him.

I am no where near riding any of those trails, and probably never will be, but that's inspiring. I've spent the past couple days building, loosing some skin, bleeding a bit, and totally stoked every time I see these pictures. Come home every night and check this thread hoping for updates, very cool! Thanks for the pictures and the digging stoke, I'm actually digging things correctly and doing it right the first time - it takes longer and its more work, but my god it hits better, and hopefully lasts longer.

There were 20 dudes at the PALMS because Felony is scary. The chain is built into the line inherently, it happens to by a massive hip followed by some other legit hits.

Sux. No dig = no ride. Simple as that.
Concrete and chains FTW
