Your little inside jokes about how much fun you on the trip that i wasnt able to go on are making me feel left out and alone....

Me and Willeville have been wanting to fish the pond for a while, but I've only been once and I don't know how to navigate around it. Curious Jorge might be coming too. But whenever it's convienient for you to go because I will get lost.

where did he land? did he clear it and where r u supposed to land fo rthat matter?
o and heres brian rockin a can

Yeah, He landed it. These pics show where he started from and where he went. To make the Gap you have to clear the mound, go between the trees on the right and head for the Gap up or hip that you can barely see in this pic. Notice, there is an option to land on the wood or the hip if you don't go for the Gap.

o btw haro learn x ups, or tables, good progress though
Dont worry Haro, former prefers strait airs. this is his favorite shirt.formermtboarder said:
By the way, you took taht pic of Brian from my photobucket account didnt you. Just cause your from King doesnt make it Ok to steal...
Well, I can do a mini one-hander, a small tabletop, and a half x-up. Everytime I try it, I swing the back end around and land sideways. Here is a shot of my best attempt:escapeartist said:Dont worry Haro, former prefers strait airs. this is his favorite shirt.

naw, learn to do a bar hump first. It's the coolest trick ever and pulls the most chix per jump. Heres how, get in the air(duh!) and arch your back, pointing your pelvis towards the pointy bolts on your stem. Return and repeat at least 3 times per jump.formermtboarder said:
Brian(or Bryan?), Thanks for the food and great trails! I'll be back soon and am planning on doing that gap you got there. **but theres a kick** I need room to land!!! Can't really explain it, nor will complain about it, but I always do a whip in the air, most of the time unintensionally. I know for sure that I will clip a tree with my back tire and have a horendous crash! maybe one of those little trees on either side? Dude, its totally up to you. I would be more than happy to come out and help you build stuff up there. I know that more people would be trying it if there was a little more room to move around.TM1 said:
:love:It is tight. Reality is the bike has to be landing by the time it gets to the trees and the dirt trail in over 5' wide on the transition.
I can see why wider would seem better. Particularly when thinking about when the top portion of the tower is complete. Somethings are best being tight tough. BTW There is advantage to not having crowds.
I'm trying to gather treated material to finish looping the ramp around for a for real tower thing. That will help it all to come together for the jumps. I can use all the help and materail I can get.
The Mega is the jump with all the wide open spaces, so, I guess thats why you busted it.

Good call mike, thanks for keeping me on my toes. Just a footnote for those unaware; the chix per jump (or cpj) number goes up exponentially with every "thrust" you complete.motomike said:
And haro if you do decide to ignore mikes advice and keep tryin the x-up the trick to not whipping is to make sure your only turning your arms, and not rotating your shoulders. I had the same problem when i learned them, you'l get over it
where are these jumps?formermtboarder said:where did he land? did he clear it and where r u supposed to land fo rthat matter?

My buddy from Tampa just sent me this picture of Me and Lou (LooNatic) at Dupont just prior to the gathering.
edit.. just noticed
I am in front on the blue bike, in blue. Loo is in the back on his gold bike in Yellow (its close to gold). We are some color coordinated peeps.
