A week ago I found myself at northstar. Thanks to the trail crews up there, a LOAD of work has been done to the trails. I'm sorta' astonished that no one has really mentioned this on the forums, so here is a little update of what I've seen added/improved. Feel free to add or do whatever.
As of 7/27
--Paving stones have been added to the "Grandfather Drop" on boondocks. The landing area has also been leveled, and there has been a berm put in after the drop to help you keep both your speed and control.
--The wave rock roll-down on boondocks has a better rock->ground transition thanks to some woodwork.
--Paving stones have been added to the landing of the wooden log jump, further down on boondocks.
--The Dirt Jump park has been opened. When I was there, a week ago, only the intermediate and beginner lines were open. There was also a step down about halfway through the intermediate line that either needed more of a lip, or to have the landing brought in a bit. Everything else, however, was spot on.
A LOT of good work has been put in recently, and the star is definitely shaping up to be a more awesome place to ride! Thanks goes out to the trail crew and all the volunteers on the side!
