And, this motter is huge.

It's a big curved kicker over 22' long, like a 5' high kicker. Like a ski launch. It's a 25' step down dropping about 12'. The lip of the ramp is almost 8' off the ground with a 15' high steep hillside for a lander. It goes into a 20' creek gap, then a nice bermed turn.

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow

There may be bigger jumps round, but, I haven't seen any in this state. There is nothing sketch about this one either. It was inspired by the Monster Park at Snowshoe.

Much of the stuff here at Tar River is intentionally propressive. To facilitate a learning curve. Jumps you can hit easy or take 'em for all they're worth. Not this one. You come up short and bike and body will be carried out in pieces. But no worries the run up is 50 yards long and drops 20'. You can hammer it for all the speed you need. An over shot will just put you further down the lander. Not a problem as long as you line up to the kicker for the creek gap (a slight right turn).

[santacruzed]

some one is going to get f'ed up or get promoted to freeride hero on that thing

 

[TM1]

Why? Because I can!

You're right, the kid isn't quite 5' tall. That's Conner, he's 9 years old . The way he hit's things, he'll be pro at 16. Got to give him something to shoot for.

So when you gonna bring in the snow machines and cover that ski jump!

 

[manimal]

Tar River is about 3 hours from Charlotte. bRad knows the way.

Tar Rule #1 NO DIEING ALLOWED. Suicides are not an option. If your plan on falling you probably will.

Yeah, Zach, you can walk under the structure we put up. I used the cedar posts just as we put them up. (I did adjust the crossmember a little to line things up.) The lip is just under 8' over the ground. Trolls, dwarfs or leprechauns would have to stack two high to touch the lip.
