We rode my track for the first time this weekend. We've got a few changes to make, but it's awesome as is! You crank once or twice to get rolling, and then NO MORE pedalling! It beats you down too.. Great workout and soooo much fun.

I'm the guy on the red prophet..

The kid is one of my riding buddie's sons. He's trying to get bike riding imprinted in his head as early as possible!

Jeez, Riding a pump track on a fully?

 

[merrrrjig]

Nice track, it looks pretty long

 

[PatBranch]

Good job with that. :trophy_br

Ciaran, how is yours going?

 

[Total Heckler]

[CHOP]

That looks so good/nice/fun. Whered you get all the dirt? Doesn't look like you had to dig up your yard.

Yo Chico, I have about 200lbs in the back shock of my fully, so it's kinda stiff. You can hear it compressing on hard pumps, but you can still rip... it's just more work... I have a Chameleon on the way though

I brought in 72,000 lbs of dirt (~$600), and it took 3 of us about two weekends. I've ridden it about 12 hours in the past 3 days.. Can't wait to get the track totally dialed

 

[PatBranch]

You must be pretty sore and tired.

 

[habitatxskate]

yeah when its perfectly dialed you can go all day

 

[allsk8sno]
