Geeze bro, where are the berms?Dayum I love me some rawks, yee ha !
Love the rocks!
Oh there are plenty of berms at Rocky Knob for sure. That section of trail is just one long rock garden, but not nearly as rough as Southern Rocks. The PBJ trail has been reworked into a massive 4X style trail with tables, whoops, and huge berms. I suck at jumping though.Geeze bro, where are the berms?
Send some rox up here...We need more rox, more hills, more roots, more EVERYTHING. Less up though..
I have to travel a bit to get mah rawk fix. Local "flow" (easy) trails usually have giant, whining babies who cut out roots and break rocks out of the trail. No exaggeration when I say that in many places the trail gets wider because douche bags ride around roots 1.5 in. tall. Fortunately for me and DirtyGirl, those riders won't go near the mountains because it's too hard...
Seeing a lot of this as well. 6" travel bike, rides around 2" root.
I call that Martha Stewart trail building. There is one trail here that has long sections or slate pavers as the trail.
Those rockssies are preciousssss!Dayum I love me some rawks, yee ha !
excuse me sir. i'm gonna have to ask you to come down from there. you appear to have gotten swerveways.
That's uptight new York...... I mean upstate new yorkthose pavers are terrible.
Fwiw the roots held the dirt in better that those pavers

Agreed.
A local climb near me had trail work a couple of weeks ago as I was riding past on the road. First time back riding on the trail yesterday and half the rocks had vanished.
The way those things are spaced that's gonna end up rougher than the roots could have been
I'm actually thinking that may be a way to roughen up boring smooth sections of trail. I like it!

death to pavers
In Washington state you'd see a lot of pavers on moto trails, I cant recall ever seeing pavers on singletrack...
Mammoth has an entire third of a trail that isn't even dirt. No shit......JUST pavers.
It's a bermy jumpish thing that's way too tight. Really fucks up your tires.

I think thats the first pic on this thread of someone wearing plaid...I'm not sure how that makes me feel.
A couple of the big berms on Skyline at the Snowshoe bike park is like this. I've eaten it hard when my front tire dips below the eroded sides of the pavers and I go for a quick and hard dirt nap. Sucks.
Sounds really well done.A couple of the big berms on Skyline at the Snowshoe bike park is like this. I've eaten it hard when my front tire dips below the eroded sides of the pavers and I go for a quick and hard dirt nap. Sucks.
The one at mammoth is at the end of this. It's nuts how much work they put into something so silly.

New XC trail?
Also, no way that pic is from 2016. I mean look at how narrow those bars are.
At least you can't make fun of my visor.
That was my first go to, but alas the skate lid saved you from yourself
rollercoster,
remove the 2nd pic and the radness will go way up.
Berms belong on BMX tracks, pump tracks and SX courses.

Does it help that there is a log poking through the dirt underneath the bike?
Nope. But I will give you extra credit for leaving your finger off the front brake
Doing some rock crawling on the megatrail....much steeper than it looks!

I was disappointed with myself for having any fingers on the levers when I saw the picture, but if I didn't I probably would have blown out of the next one and into the woods.Nope. But I will give you extra credit for leaving your finger off the front brake
I know right!! We were talking about bringing the shovels some time and making it happen. You'd have to smash the pedals pretty hard to get up there. I doubt I could do it on the squishy bike.
I vote re-shoot. He's got at least a foot and a half to go before the bar is even close to dragging the dirt.rollercoster,
