This thread has been kinda slow lately. 
Here is what I have been working on this summer. Still needs a lot of work.

Trails is riding an older spot with some trail heads that you've known since they were young kids. Trails is pushing the bike up and find a freshly shaped lip your homies built and a swept out and patched run (AND they've got a full tilt spot that they dig at as well). Trails is running trains and almost killing your buddy and laughing about it. Trails is just a good day in the woods feeling like you are a kid again talking about stupid **** as well as important ****.
Couple of helmet footage from today. Nothing special and the lights all off but, what the hell, we were having a good time getting runs.
Frank, Don, Mike Train, Main Line on Vimeo - me almost killing Mike when I stop mid train.
Milo and Don Train on Vimeo - following Mike thru the line. Look out for Mikey's misty table.

Thanks Fool :thumbs: - let me know if you are ever down in Jersey and want to ride dirt. There are some guys that come down from NYC and Hobo every now and then.
The best thing about helmet cams is you can keep on riding and still get some footage. I wanted to take some pics the other day but the trails were running so well I didn't want to stop.
Thanks! Yeah, That berm is wicked treats. Took me about 4 years to get it just right and even tho right now it's a bit pitted/blown out from thunderstorms everyone that's ridden it loves it. Just need to get the sets after it figured out - little by little.
Thanks - you're in North Jers right? Head south one of these weekends for some dirt fun. I'll holla if one of the spots has a jam this fall. You ride Barry's trails (I think it's FTH) at all?
Jackson isn't that far - trails are kinda on the way - holler when you swing thru NJ

Yeah, and thats not the only rad spot in the area. Its amazing the spots in a hours radius. If you guys ever decide to come out I could put you up for a couple nights.
Damn. Hard to pass that offer up.
Amazing. I can tell a lot of work and love went into that berm. Pics look real good. :thumbs:
Trails is getting your fvcking helmet and knee pads eaten by a dog at zach's place.
Trails is seeing your kids have as much fun as you:
Cooper, Stowe, VT - Vimeo
The little guy. This kid could stay at the trails all day. I'm working on fixing a mini-line at our local spot for him.
Sean, Stowe, VT - Vimeo
Sean figured out how to land nose first and had the stoke going. He must of hit this run 100 times. If I could get him to ride his bike as much as his surfboard, he could get pretty good - haha. But surfing is just as rad as trails so I'm not too bummed
This park has been up in Stowe, VT for a few years and I was bummed to see it covered in weeds this trip. Places like this are great for kids to learn how to ride and it would be sweet to see spots like this pop up like skateparks have.

Don - that place up in Stowe was built by my one friend as he was the director of it or something like that since it is public. He used to live about 1 minute from there. Then he hurt his back real bad and the place kind of died down, but as you can see a great place for the little guys.
There is another set of jumps in a trailer park about 25 minutes from there that are really fun, with a good pump track.
On a side note, where did you get that little bike? My son is 20 months old and loving his balance bike, but that little bike looks real cool

Your friend must be Jason - I've ridden with him a few times. Real good rider. He had that place going well a couple years ago but since he hurt his back it's fallen to the wayside. I just saw him up there - it sounded like he was at least riding XC.
With a nice sized skid and a week I could get that park running mint. I told some of the locals to at least tarp the main lines as the weeds growing are the main issue. The layout could be better but it's a legal open DJ park - trail guys in NJ would kill for that.
That bike Cooper is on is a 12" Specialized. It was pink as it was his older sisters and I found him one day with a roll of blue masking tape and a rattle can trying to make it blue so we stripped it and gave it a Cyclecraft fade job. I popped off some parts and thru on a Sram chain - it already had some FMF race bars.
the first three threads on this forum are about trails and the next two are pump tracks and dirt jumps now that is whats up
