CopeIt

Good to ride by tomorrow evening?

I miss all the stumps, tree gates, and roots that have disappeared over the past year. :-(

I, too, can't jump.

 

Which is kinda funny because I spent my childhood building ramps and gap jumps out of everything. Maybe it's my subconscious remembering all of the pain.

 

Manuals as well as better track standing abilities

 

 

 

 

 

I chose to stick with the original. Let me know if there is anything major that you love. I didn't see much to warrant working another 300 bucks so soon.

I gave my wife a bike and told her to like it. She did as instructed.

It was a men's model that I would also enjoy. So maybe just do that?

Really? I'm liking the latest updates immensely but then again I'm swapping around between indoor and outdoor bike use so the profiles and better visualizations are beneficial.

Those were my home trails as a kid...rode them nearly every day in the summer. Worth going. One side is similar to walnut with the other being a bit more like brushy.

 

 

I'll be replacing my expensive ass stealth with a oneup after it finally craps out. I had the same problem as you and it worked perfectly again after adjusting the screw on the lever.

I would make the comment

Correct. And you start from the upper left entry. After finishing inner log.

So you did it the normal way?

OP, have you done any trail building, or working to maintain existing trails?

Some but minimal and as the low skilled labor. Part of the plan will certainly be to get more involved in local maintenance - will likely be Walnut due to proximity and availability.

 

Scoping out a bit today, quite a bit more sand than I remembered in the part of the land I was intending to start with. Making me rethink whether worthwhile for singletrack. Researching whether starting with pump track in an area with better soil would be a better payoff...then build out from there.

Appreciate the comments and advice so far!

I have been watching Seth. As to the community involvement, that was my first thought as well...unfortunately I don't have permission at this point to allow anyone else on the land. I have been trying to get more involved in the Austin scene. I assume that restriction will soften a bit.

Let's say that, hypothetically, one has access to ~350 acres of Texas Hill Country rolling hills w/permission from landowner to build trail as one wishes. In this scenario, where does one start laying out plans? Anyone have good resources? I assume a healthy dose of mapping tools and test riding sections is called for. Figured there would be so tricks of the trade to do initial planning using topo maps.

 

Is IMBAs guide the go-to? Any other tips? This would be long term vision and execution. In this hypothetical scenario, let's assume there is not current permission for outside groups to assist.

Rain gauge in the backyard shows 4.5 inches.

So potentially rideable? I'll check in a couple hours and let you all know.

That's a bad sensor. Or... You're saying there is a chance I can get a ride in tomorrow

Glad I pulled the trigger then at 275. I'll let this thread know if I decide not to keep it for whatever reason so you have opp at better price.

Btw. You are now an influencer. Can I follow you on insta?

Okay okay... Bought one. Got a 25 off coupon so 275 shipped and a 45 day return is worth it. Maybe I'll be able to find my way around the full loop at Walnut finally.

I'm confused. I want to buy it but it normally sells for 499...typically on sale for 399...but on sale now for 299. Are they about to release updated hardware? What's going on

I actually saw someone with a full face at Walnut this morning. Was hoping this was an explanation thread.

You can but just the parts to convert to HD on their website. Reuse your trays and get the new hitch pieces.

Welp, thanks to the link to the ixs helmet....I finally have full face protection. Will make it out to spider on my hardtail as soon as I can talk my cautious riding buddies into having fun.
