Fourth

Blap.

Apples

A bit has been happening at the trails over the past few weeks: much riding and a little digging. We finally got all four jumps grooved in with the fourth downside being finished about two weeks ago. Subsequently, sessions have been going down here and there with Alex 'apple eating' Steckler even throwing down some tuck no-handers over the fourth.

While the fourth has finally been finished, it was much to easy to clear and so last night, with the opportunity provided by yesterday's rain, Matt stacked the downside up another foot and I redid the lip making it a bit steeper. With the new revision, it has taken on the shape of a Pitney Woods jump, i.e. steeper and deeper. It will definitely set-up the fifth jump to be a bit more serious. Pics are on the way of this reformation. We are planning to put in some heavy work this weekend on the fifth double and will hopefully have something significant for a small Fall jam. Below is a recent sequence of Matt working his way through the section.

Finally

Well today was the official humble inauguration of the trails as we did a bit of riding and shooting. Matt got through the first six pack and Rick Kane and I made it through the first two (due to no brakes and wet foot respectively). Below are some pics from the action. A week or two should see the downside of our fourth jump packed and ready to roll and then on to the fifth jump. Who knows, maybe we will have a decent rideable set before fall sets in...

8 PACK!

As lame as it may seem, after half the summer is gone, we finally have a 8 pack built at our spot. The summer has been brutal for Josh and myself as far as getting out to dig and with steve's disappearance a lot hasn't got done. This saturday depending on weather between now and then i think the plan is to try to sink some tires into the jumps, but if it rains maybe we'll get some more dirt stacked. Some pictures of riding hope to be up in the near future.

Delay

After a couple month hiatus from digging, Matt and I are heading back to the trails this week to hopefully clean/groom/finish the eight pack that is all but done. I will get some more info up when some of that is accomplished and will hopefully have something to show for what we have done so far.

Went to the G-town Jam this past weekend and then to Pitney the day after; got a few good shots which you can check out on Flickr or Facebook. Below are some of the recent ones from Pitney.

Digging

Photo dump of recent progress. Matt and I were out for about 2 hours today and got another downside shaped up. Things were really dry so we are going to need some solid rain if we are going to get much further.
