Yea I'm sure. But they also usually have valid stuff to add. Just not when it gets to this point. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I feel like I'm back in high school. Can we just not do this shit here anymore. I mean you guys do you. But maybe elsewhere . Or maybe I'm the one with the issue and just need to take a hiatus again. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Most likely shifting and then fully loading cranks while chain is still trying to shift. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

0. If you break a chain you are doing something off. Like poor maintenance. Bad shifting habits under load. Etc I'm not saying it hasnt happen to me. Mostly my first few years learning the ropes I broke a few . But it is not typical and not expected for me. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

That's part of it. But the bigger part of it was wanting to restore the feature back to what is was. It was only gonna get worse and further expose more and more underlying logs that are stacked under the dirt. Eventually it would be a nothing feature. Even the original dirt table we built was too short. And those who want to launch it would go to far alot of times and mis the transition. So a lot of speed would be needed to be scrubbed in order to not eat shit into the face of the wall ride after it. I didnt have the desire to move that much dirt to do it naturally just to have it erode again. The wood still needs to be modified. As it was built it works but doesn't flow the way I wanted exactly. But after your feed back I think I'll look into making an optional natural line to feel like what you and others might think was the original line. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ah. Yes. But the original dirt line back when it was made was WAY bigger and more like a jump. Erosion took it down to it's form prior to wood table. The intent is to restore to original concept of a jump you can actually use but also still be able to roll. Explain what you loved about the feature prior to wood overlay and I'll see if there is a possible way to have that same feel off to the side. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ok I'm caught up. But confused on you saying original line went away. No original line has been messed with on any of the lines. There is the new wood table top that still needs modifications. It is slightly too long and weird shaped. But no original lines were wiped out. Can you clarify if this is your question . Ypu can always text me 512 775 0054 Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

FFS. I was not really reading the following posts. I was literally on phone getting a sitter. You mother f*u kers! Hahaha. I cant stop laughing now Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Wait...who should I direct my anger slash laughter too. WHO DID THIS PHOTOSHOP! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Dude! I f ing hate you.@HoneyBadger My rage didnt allow me to inspect the photo. Hahaha. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Oh. I'm close to it. Haha. It will get dealt with today. But I gotta get a sitter real fast Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Whoa! I dis NOT do that one on the left! Wtf! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

When this is all over I hope the detainment camp you put us soiled ones in will at least have enough land for a jump line. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

You wouldn't be allowed to help. No way to be socially distanced while trail building.@HoneyBadger [emoji848][emoji51] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Good news is there are B lines for anything considered big . It would be nice to have it announced if it is actually open now. Last I heard ARR wanted to wait to publicize it was open because the return route wasnt done. It could really use some riders and publicity if that's not the case.

It's a never ending battle. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Welp I've been caught. Fine it will send you into the trees. I thought it would be a nice change of pace from anything else. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ha. What tree are you guys talking about. Have you seen it today or yesterday? There is one large tree to right of landing. The branches USED to hang low. They currently do not. Also did you see where I said I already hit it. I dont believe I got impaled. I'll go recheck. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hahahah. Nah. If you can get up there I'll be impressed. It just needed a light trimming which it had yesterday anyways. It may need another trim once the new jump line into this line gets built and it becomes faster. But you currently wont carry as much speed as you might think into it. I already sent it today without ending up in tree . **Warning the landing is not the landing it will have and is currently really soft. Also the run step up and run out isnt built. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

How can you look at something under construction and say it will send you into the trees? [emoji848][emoji2937] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

The best way I can describe it is to think of a jump as a simple bunny hop. (Proper bunny hop technique needed not the clipped in pull feet up method). THINK OF THE LIP AS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO BUNNY HOP OVER. Every jump will vary in when and how much to compress because not all jumps are the same height and distance. With that said your speed and type of jump also effect what you do. There are jumps at bike parks where you dont need to do the exaggerated bunny hop...because of the speed you carry and the shape of the take off and transition you might be able to just compress into attack body postion (knees and elbows bent) and hold that through the lip. The more you bunny hop the lip the more pop (height) you get. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Well I think that's a given. Still better than nothing. Gives me hope. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Possibly the best trail report I've ever read. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

For that one you need to get your speed up. Maybe a quick pedal stroke or two on wood. Without speed you kinda have a huck to flat feel Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I would say yes and no. For me.. I physically approach and attack this drop the same as the small ones. Same body posture, look fwd, try and land front wheel slightly before rear... etc. But the margin for error is smaller and consequence is larger . You blow it on smaller drops or brake jack last second and still roll put the small ones. There is no rolling put this one if you go too slow or freeze up Also on smaller ones you can go almost as fast as you want with no change .. this bigger one if you go too fast the drop gets further and landing G forces get stronger which can bottom you out and then possible rebound buck you.
