woah, that sounds awesome, what all do you have planned for the dirt. Just jumps? Step up? XD

 

[roperacer]

i would love a good step up,,we want one it is just where and how really. we are looking at starting with 3 lines off of one roll-in ,maybe 4 jumps per line, depends on how far the dirt goes,, a begginer line with table tops, a intr. line with small gaps, and a pro line with a little larger gaps,is what we are shooting for. and then mybe incorperate the pump track and the skills area!

Whoah, I might be down for this. Stay tuned.

that sounds crazy cool. Would you guys be opposed to me coming to help since i'm only 15? I've pushed a wheel barrow around once or twice before Ive got experience building dj's. I just thought id ask since alot of people think teenagers are annoying and know everything haha

 

[roperacer]

everyone is more than welcome..might need to sign a release before you work haha

 

[roperacer]

looks like we are going to hold off on the backhoe till next weekend,,looks like to much rain for this weekend.

4th of july weekend, the u.s. nationals trials moto championship is at the ttc for 3 days fri, sat, and sunday,morning. sunday afternoon is the mtn bike trials championship.
so that saturday afternoon ttc will have another mtn bike dh race. they plan on not opening up any of the trials section on our side of the cove, so that will leave us with the shuttle road and our trails open, and when it comes race time on sat. we could have over several hundred or even a thousand spectators for the race,, not to mention we would have all kind of stuff to keep us entertained when we are not riding or racing,,this is not 100% for sure yet,, but damn what a fun weekend!

 

[256freeride]

if there is a race then count me in!
