They are at Bigfoot MTN Park which is on Pellissippi Parkway in west Knox county on your way to Windrock. About 5 minutes from my work and about 10 minutes from home. :)

The first picture is the take off view of the same jump in the third pic. The gap is close to twenty, but its a step-down, double that is so easy to hit and SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH.

Come on over. I'll put you up for the weekend. We can get in a lot of riding and fishing. BTW I forgot to tell you that I saw you in TwentySix. Funny.

i'm feeling the flagstaff itch since i visited in july. that place absolutely rocks. if there was any semblance of a decent job market there, i'd already be a resident. as it is, we're deciding between flagstaff (awesome place, no jobs) and raleigh (crappy place, awesome jobs)... why is it anywhere that's nice to live is crappy to work in and vice versa?

In a van.... down by the river
Flagstaff riding is great - I moved there one spring and lived there for several months. I got myself a crappy job and rode singletrack ~5 miles to work and back EVERY day.

I only scratched the surface of the riding available, and I'd bet there's a lot more now (this was spring '95).......

There just weren't enough mountains there for me.
