those are not rocks, they are sandbags. (somone else also made the same comment on another board) on the 3rd takeoff, there are tree stumps to keep the dirt from spreading right now. but they will come outOriginally posted by boostindoubles
hey nice 6 pack. if they were mine i would take those rocks and either bury them deep or take them far away. nothing like a wacky eject to head slap on the rocks.
Another comment i am adding purely for constructive critisism, i try to build my jumps small first and as the sets go on, build them taller, steeper, farther apart. With good pumps between sets you can clear bigger gaps after each consecutive double. So your last set should be the biggest rather than the middle one. (but you already know this)
yea...i love to ride, looks like you got the passion too. Its sweet to find a forum with other dirt jumpers who post on here.
btw, i am new to the site. peace
right now the third jump is merely a target. they will all be vert and they will rock. i have been building rhythms for over 15 years and we know what we are up to. these are not intended to be out jumps, but rather up jumps.... you can't fully judge them yet as we have just started them. that would be like building a DH starting gate, then being like "funny, this dosen't look like much of a DH course"Originally posted by boostindoubles
ah yea, i understand the need to prop things on the side to keep the dirt from spreading. Do you have access to water? it looks f-in dry where your at. Keeping your trails hosed down while digging helps em stay packed down.
Jumping both ways....right on man. that sounds like a challenge. But i just gotta say, after landing that second double smooth your going to be ready to hit a bigger double. And that 3rd one isnt it. But hey we all have different styles and i gotta respect that. peace
here is a thread of some others that we are working on too...Originally posted by boostindoubles
i feel ya man, just going from what i see. Totally something with potential, like you said. I know that trails change daily, and what i see in those pics has probably been completely changed. they look good too. maybe when i get my digi camera working i'll post my trails up on here and we can compare, get ideas from eachother.
Nah...I say we just drink a bunch and go pee on them before digging.Originally posted by boostindoubles
the only way i can think of to get water out there is to strap a 55 gallon drum into the bed of my truck though....
