you didn't use pressure treated wood!
at least you didn't cut the tree , other wise I would have called you a trail sanitizer .
it looks like fun

Nice work!
Nope wood treated with arsenic doesn't make woods that happy nor does it really last any longer than regular wood, what maybe another year or two at best? plus its spendy$$$$$$$$splat said:
so it's regular 2X4 with 2X4X1 cedar for runners.
Chicken go cluck cluck....
i've only witnessed 2 riders in my day that could make it over these tree's and your not one of em.pnj said:both those logs were ridable.....
ruiner.
Cow go moo!
Piggie go oink oink!
How bout you?
gadzooks they hold!!!!

Nice! here those would be gone tomorrow 
removed and left laying there by some dickhead hiker because somehow littering the trail with discarded lumber is better than a usable bridge I guess

yah i'd hate to deal with all the nature nazi's down there, here there's much more open land to bury em. :evil:punkassean said:Nice! here those would be gone tomorrow
Well that's all for tonight on This ole Trail, stay tuned for the next episode when i see how many hammer tacks i can embed into my skull. This is Skookie Villa sayin "So Long and happy hammerin!"
i woulda built a jumpoff that big one
Yeah...why did you give the downhill side a ramp?
Nice work.
Good Jorb

If you're above the trail, you can't damage it!
hmm i must be good i already have critics.xbluethunderx said:Yeah...why did you give the downhill side a ramp?
it's a twisty XC trail fellas, and there is plenty of clutter on the trail with fairly big rocks and roots and logs, the camera always makes things seem smaller. i dunno about you but having speed, gravity, and smooth fast run ups and trannies are more condusive to setting up for a jump. :dancing:
i was riding the Bullit because i broke my XC bike, but also because it's easier to haul all that lumber on your shoulder riding one handed two miles in the middle of the frikkin woods.

Miss Manners highly recommends a BOB Yak or Ibex.Skookum said:...it's easier to haul all that lumber on your shoulder riding one handed two miles in the middle of the frikkin woods.
I know, I know!!!!pnj said:
Cool. I usually pile up other logs/branches on either side to make it rideable - I'm too lazy to cary in my own lumber.
blah blah blah - either way I'm enjoying nature - what's the difference if I cut down a tree or two of if I wait for them to die? Either way they end up dead.pnj said:really. you know how many trees had to die for you little ramps?
you've been there......pnj said:
without owning a chainsaw that is actually more work than what i did. The first one would be possible to do that since it's only about 3 feet up, but the bigger one is about 4 feet off the ground, same argument with the jumps on this one, you just wouldn't be able to get the speed to make it over a pile that big.jacksonpt said:
TREE KILLER!!!!@$#!$!@$@!jacksonpt said:
Actually in this area they get a lot of blow down from high winds. Just about 50 feet ahead of this trail someone cut a bunch of rounds and stacked em, and one of em is about 4 feet high, but it's on a wider kinda smoother trail.
i really love this place, i'm glad i could make it just a little bit cooler.
People riding both directions?xbluethunderx said:Yeah...why did you give the downhill side a ramp?
From the looks of things, you could still launch it. :evil:
Looks nice, where is that at?
Thanks for the work Skooks - I was pleasantly suprised to see the new bridge this past Saturday... I was wondering if it was you!
Sweet work there handyman Skooks!!
not to be party pooper, but I think the neigh neighs are gonna be real angry about this one.
This is one of dem dar oxymoronical things. Built structures are a godsend to issues of errosion and the like ... BUT, built structures invalidate natural use insurance policies. Catch 22.girlwhoboards said:i think its much better to build stuff over a sensative area than not...besides it's more fun

Around here, we've learned to pile dirt very high. If it's wood, it gets ripped out. If it's dirt, it's either too much of a pain or it's close enough to legit that it gets left alone.
