Be there! (I want to see someone hit the tree gap) hehe

 

[Gex]

come tuesday and ill hit the trail and tree gap

 

[thesacrifice]

Friend and I had SST to ourselves all day from about 2:30 to 5:45, some other dudes started showing up around then.

I spent a lot of the day trying to do a tabletop, will be there again the 15th

 

[thesacrifice]

Had a lot of fun today. Most of the day we were on our own again and then two dudes showed up. They ended up helping us progress alot. First they let us shadow them on the Stepdown jump after the first drop on the right(looking from top down) and then later the tree gap jump. We didn't get their names but we can't thank them enough for helping us progress.

We did the tree gap a couple more times after they left and my buddy ended up breaking his fork...ouch... I got a picture of him in the air, you can tell he's headed for disaster

 

[Gex]

Hmm i was there today hitting everything was fun not to many people there.

same for me one time i overshot so far i was almost to the point were the brush ends and you come out in the open. poor rear shock. poor pedals bent one

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Damn!! Hope he's ok. Obviously not enough fast or hop.
Medium to medium-high speed w/ a little hop just before you reach the edge. You get it dialed and you can barely feel the landing.

Class dismissed.

 

[cove rider]

or hit as fast as ****ing possible and who cares yull make it just remember pull up at the edge.

 

[BIGHIT756]

racer style that ****..dont even pull up, just roll up to it, and drop off that ****, you dont have to pedal or anything, just roll from the top.

 

[cove rider]

but it sounds like this was tryed and it ened in a broken fork. so maybe a pedal or two to getcha going

 

[thesacrifice]

We both did it successfully 2-3 times. He said he just glitched and pulled back too late on that one. I didn't exactly see what happened cause I was focusing on getting a mid air shot. Inconsistency happens.

p.s. yes the drop's hard...we've only been "freeriding" since the beggining of march, our balls are still dropping

 

[cove rider]

hahahaha still got the high voice eh

 

[thesacrifice]

Glad to hear you had a good time. It was awfully loose and dry in a few spots when I was there on Sunday.
I'm glad we're finally getting some rain here once again!!

 

[cove rider]

i hate the rain. but it does pack things down nicely

 

[thesacrifice]

he has yet to

 

[bibs]

I think its called progression, you ride you break you learn. Every one has different levels, go easy guys.......whats small and easy to you is big and scary to others. soon they will be the same way.....(this is why SST needs a make over)

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

.....(this is why SST needs a make over)

...or why some other peeps need to build some local stuff that's a notch up from what SST is.neaky:
I've pondered stepping things up out there, but every time I do another group of "newbs" come in and I remember why we made it the way it is.
I'm just fearing the day that somebody builds something out there that's ridiculously huge and gets the place kill-dozed.
Besides, if people are that bored w/ SST then it's time for them to work on doing tricks.

 

[Gex]

meh to bad all the monkeys are slightley to lazy to do. The exits on the other hand mehbe...

 

[cove rider]
