Have you made it out to Country Park yet? It's close to Battleground Ave. They are city-owned jumps...all tabletops and a few nice big berms. Lots of fun.

It was me, and Buck, and Jon. I liked it a lot, but I was told that it sucked, and that even a semi-pro racer agreed, so I think I'm gonna tear it down and make a roller.

what?! why did it suck? it's a good drop, big enough to be a little scary at first but small enough that it's still fun. you said it..."semi-pro RACER" didn't like it....you gonna take that from a racer boy? :D

Haha. I dont even think they hit it. Apparently you have to go too slow, so its crap. All I'm saying is, dont bash stuff until you've hit it, offered suggestions to make it better, and offered to help built it better, especially if you didnt even pick up a shovel in the first place.

Yeah, there will (hopefully) be a dirt spine and maybe a double after it soon. And yes, for everyone else, you have to hit it SLOW really really slow.

Where is this slo-mo drop located in general terms? (I'm familiar with the area)
If your on the run-in trail for the big right handed hip, look to you right about 2 gulleys, and behind you.

That's odd, it doesn't show up on my trail map. :confused: :D

Thanks for the beta Alex, that drop sounds perfect for me - I hit everything slow (except the buffet line at Golden Corral of course). :oink:
speaking of "the corral" we all need to make a trip to the lake and then head to GC for a fun dinner with Buck (formermountainboarder) working, "where my sweet rolls at b!tch":rolleyes:

I mean...if thats what you're into...

:rofl: :rofl: aww man that made me laugh.

i dig the drop, kind of a -get behind the seat and hang on- type thing.

i suppose you could cut the top pallete a little bit to make it not so abrubt or something but definitely don't tear it down. screw those racer types....(except moto, he can whip)
