I've been seeing so many build pics lately. Herndon just built a silly rad pump track and posted pics of it on his blog. Ben Blitch of Asheville "B4 Consulting" is posting pics of big, banked up switchbacks on his blog. Gerrit posting pics of dirt jumps galore.
Anybody with experience building pump tracks want to come lay one out at my house?

"Pumptrack Nation" at Leelikesbikes.com has some layouts and how to build (never actually seen the complete copy just different layout), but I've always liked the rollers spread out a little more. That way they have a BMX rhythm section feel. I also think the rollers should be well rounded not peaky.
introduced my partners at work to a little freeride action today at the zone at country park. i think they're hooked 
he picked it up quick and was trying to fly on his second run
the other one did pretty well too...not bad for never jumping before
a little bermage for the new convert
...and i get to write it all off as "training"

Hey Butch, pumptracks aren't hard to build at all. I have built 2 (both by hand with a shovel) and going to build another once the weather gets better around here. My suggestion is to look around on here and gets some ideas, then just go out and start building. The beauty is that you can constantly change things up and be very creative without too much effort. You could get someone to layout and build one for you but it will always be for you and not by you.
I keep looking at that pic trying to figure out how that guy got in that position. Where is this on the track? It looks like the rebound bucked him but the trail looks pretty flat and he's up so damn high.
lamb...it looks like the whoops section to me.

Ray's this weekend. 14 hour drive up in the snow, 8 hours back.

Ahhh winter...
We didn't want our construction skills to get rusty with all the snow we've had. Bets on how far my tarp flies in the 70 mph gusts we're supposed to get today?

looks like snow to me butch.what did you use to make that?
freezing rain had frozen a 4 inch layer solid above the snow. We cut out bricks with a shovel and stacked them. Unfortunately the winds ripped the roof off last night, snapping my tent poles in the process.what did you use to make that?
That was on one of the table top jumps, about 15' feet below me , hit it with to much speed , funny thing , I landed it ...
litteraly made me
go beyond the obvious there caveman carnie.
gotcha! Way cool. We tried 5 gallon buckets at the house but once my girls lost interest, we quit stacking and realized it was something of a lude looking object anyway.
you mean Wolf Ridge? I recognize that section I dug in the background is why.
You are correct Butch ! Did you build that tabletop....... ?
nope. I didn't build ANY of that stuff up there. I helped out 1 day and it just happened to be that section behind you. I promise.
But its South riders.
Profro, Loonatic and SinatorJ in Sedona last Friday.

Nice way to escape the cold.
I knew there was a reason I couldn't place where that spot was on the track. Where is Wolf Ridge? Is it a race course?you mean Wolf Ridge? I recognize that section I dug in the background is why.
Here is my improved and finally upgraded steeds........

Looks like fun!!
I went to Arizona with my family last year during spring break and we stopped in Sedona for a few days. Got to rent a bike and rode some awesome trails! Trails like the Airport loop (rockiest trail in the city) and Soldier's pass and a few others I can't think of at the moment.
Sure was an awesome place and would love to go back and try some of their aggressive all-mountain/freeride trails!
Hey all, here's a short video of some clips that were on my computer that I don't think have been used. Mueller and Steven are riding, can't remember who shot it.
burly burly burly
love the first shot...makin that boxxer do work.

Man, I thought Tunnel Hill would have been a little bit nicer. It at least looks good from the Interstate.
Have you been to or heard of Monster Mountain in Alabama? I skipped Clemson and went and rode it all weekend. It's definately worth the trip. The track is unbelievably long with multiple elevation changes and the amount of track prep they put into it every night is unreal. You should definately check it out.

dang mooney that track is sick!
I'm really a woods guy. Don't know if I will get down to check out Monster, but the prep is quite opposite from the tracks we rode. Been on a track three times, above included, and if I was to do it more I'd need a better bike for the track. My 18" rear wheel, steep head angle, and enduro gearing was not confidence inspiring. But it was fun. Finally learned to use the throttle to adjust attitude while in flight.
Woooohoooooo warm weather!!!!!
I hope everyone else got out over the weekend!

Can't believe I missed that sh!t. That's one of the best WR vids I've seen.

To continue with the dirt jump theme...
