Yeah, the tunnel of love there is very cool. But the entrance to it (the bridge) is just crazy/silly. No one seems to be showing pics of that.....

its a normal straight lip that you toss yourself hard right off of to a right turning berm/langing straight into a 180 left turning berm to bridge. Its pretty hairy and/or playful imo.

not that i rode it mind you, my skills are not up to par, just commenting since i have run across the bridge/tunnel pic a number of times.

Yes, yes, my point exactly :). I think I did confuse you though.

What I meant is that I have seen pics similar to Beasts, but none so far showing the lead-in to the feature. I have only seen that with mine eyes, not in a pic. Otherwise I would share.

If you were there saturday, the lip next to where I was grillin was the sickest. I think the highest boost I have ever seen. . .

Hey TortugaTonta, if you were grillin, then I spoke to you a bit. I'm the other 'older' guy (Matt), with the little kiddies who showed up. You, Clipper and I were talking about old trail videos which I have never heard of :).

I think there are some pics of that lip to gauge height, I'll look around later. It was good and steep, but it also had a downhill and several foot step-down landing. So, boosty it was. I believe that would be in the aptly named 'boomers' line.

Trails is the crazy sh!t you see in the woods. Like pulling back the tarp to see no shoulders feastin on a mouse nest. . .

Dam Zack, looks like you are about 6' below grade. If I dug that deep at my house I would have rocks the size of a scion all over the place. I guess that is why I am surrounded by quarrys :rant:

good stuff though, lucky you ;)

Yeah, those boys got the place fully running early this year. It also looks good when Alex is riding it as he has so much flow. The out of towners seemed pretty amped on it. They had skillz too - getting thru lines first or 2nd run on it - I was really impressed.

metalhead - I've only done that first right hand berm and the hip that goes into a bowl but they are a flipping blast. The camera doesn't lie - they are quick - you just let the bike go and trust that your arms remember what's coming up. There are a few others in the place that look even more rad.

Hope all is well back East. Matty says Dutch Neck is getting rad!

Nice vid! You guys were murdering that place that day - wish I had the time to hang longer but happy I got the hour or so in.

Hope the wing/shoulder is getting back together well - heard the Open took some people down.

Matty has been in full trail mod - bouncing amongst the trails in the area. The kid is shredding but on the shovel and on the bike. Dutch's Main line is working great - berm is how I've always wanted it - just took us about 4 years to sort out! Hopefully you'll get to run it when you are back east next.
