Bad azz pix.


But, this is for Moto...




Not exactly pallets Moto, but I think you would be pleased with how terrible this is. Needless to say, this beauty of a ramp was constructed out of nothing but 100% organic lumber and "recycled" materials (i.e. main runners are dead cedar, posts are cedar from the same tree, rungs are from rotting fence boards I found, backside of "lander" = old 55 gallon drums I also found, and I pulled up metal silt fence posts to add to extra stability - even tho the tops of them still protrude somewhat into the actual ramp surface). I did eventually add the cheap plywood layer on top as I discovered the rungs were spaced too far apart to carry much speed, which resulted in me leaving a manly dent in one of the barrels upon a classic Buchan 60/40 case job. I proudly refer to is as the worlds worst hip jump. Again, I think you would approve of the sketch factor and poor craftsmenship I am renowned for. If it makes you feel any better, I did use old pallets on my trail, but only for mud crossing fodder. Once I sold the Bullit, I had to step up to the real :D

Hope all is well in the PNW, as we've been following your trials and tribulations up there. Uncle Rob sends his best, and don't forget ya got a place to stay in Whis if need be.

Had Bent Creek all to myself yesterday afternoon. It was hero dirt. The trails were so dry they just soaked up all the mist. Fast, tacky and not a soul in sight. Thanks to everybody who stayed home! :D

This past weekend a dream became a reality! Been wanting a pump track at the house for a long time. Between not having the knowledge OR the time I realized I needed some help....major help! :lol: HUGE THANKS to Chris Herndon and Danny for building this pump track in one day....yes ONE DAY! Chris and Danny started about 8am on Saturday and we were riding by 3pm. Couldn't be more stoked! Here are some pics:

Matt came over this afternoon to help break it in. The design and the flow of the track was spot on..........Matt was turning laps on a bike with no chain or brakes!

Man we need to get this guy involved with the rocky knob park in Boone
Sorry to get off topic but what's the low down on this rocky knob business? Is this the land near the landfill that they were talking about attaching up to the greenway?

Correct...500,000 dollar grant has been obtained to start construction on what is proposed to be over 10 miles of singletrack in on rocky knob adjacent to the old landfill. Apparently we should see phase 1 done by fall in order for the grant to hold.


Myself and Folsom doing some testing on the new track at Hawksnest.

Wow that's great! Last I had heard that project was going to be a much longer process.

I'm gonna try to make it to the Hawsknest race on the 5th and 6th , can't race yet but I definitely wanna check out all the work you guys have been cranking out.
