First, thanks for all the hard work everyone is putting in to keeping SST progressive and a fun place to ride. The amount of dirt moved in the last couple weeks is impressive for a backhoe...unbelievable for a few guys with shovels and wheelbarrows.
I just wanted to voice my opinion on the new jumps at the top. In short, SST already has a dirt jump park. Why not keep the flow park a flow park, and the leave the dirt jumps for the softies section across the creek.
I'm a pretty average rider, and I couldn't clear the new jumps today with my 7.5" freeride rig. I lose all my speed on the incline when my bike fully compresses. These jumps are not designed for full suspension bikes. They are being designed for hardtails. :teacher:
Why are we putting so much effort into adding softies to the flow park when we could be adding drops, step downs, kickers, etc. The flow park has always been a place where everyone can ride, whether they are on hardtails or V10s. These jumps are not for V10s.
I know they didn't start out to be what they are today, but I hope they get modified in the future so all bike types can ride them.
Ok, I'm done. Please be gentle in your replies, I'm a nice guy.![Wave :wave: :wave:](/images/smilies/xwave.gif)
