First-Blood Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I went through there yesterday, and it looks like tracks where someone has already used that as a "Feature" [emoji846]Saweet! I like it! It fell all the way. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-Blood Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I would cut that second stump back and leave the new "feature". But that is just me.I rode through few days ago and it was only leaning. It is a different story now. I agree though. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Snow is so low traffic I'm not gonna worry on it now. Davis Green offered to cut Picnic and he lives within walking distance to it so I just need to drop at his place. Thanks. I'll let you know if we can coordinate the other areas. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Davis Green?!?!? My nemesis! David Green!

I thought I was going crazy the last time I went through there because it was at like a 45° and I could have sworn I used to have no issues crossing the bridge before. I actually mentioned it to AJ at the Peddler last weekend because he said he had recently cable tied the bridge the tree roots. He said he would take a look at it, you know in between running a great bike shop and building up SN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say that rolling stuff is OK for me, but when I feel like I have to do a mini-manual to miss a rock on the landing is when I get very nervous. I don't trust my timing. It's also why I don't do lots of jumps and bigger drops. I'm working on it though, with some wooden ramps I built as well as a table top I built in my back yard, I hope to synchronize my manual/pump. I have meant to ask this but keep forgetting, the line to the left of the tree, is that a sanctioned alternate line or a cheater line that needs to be blocked? You dont need to manual, just get low and push your bars forward. You need much less timing to hit a drop this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of Lee McCormack this weekend. So basically anti-row as you're rolling off? That's usually what I do but not when I feel like my front tire will hit a rock on the landing. That's my biggest problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Magnet Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I agree that pushing your bike forward is definitely the best approach for taking drops like this. It's also the way to get into a manual if you roll that way. Much easier to progress because you use the same approach for a 5" drop that you use for a 5' drop. I will say that the only time I really have to do something different is when there is a nice rock right where I want to put my rear wheel that is begging to ding my rim. In these cases, I'll actively try and manage the bike more and lift or scrub accordingly. The last thing I want to be worrying about when taking a drop is timing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Started working on cutting the overgrowth on Lower Picnic today. Still more to do, but I was starting to run low on gas (the brush hog and myself) so called it quits for the day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode earlier today and tried riding on the edges until I noticed some rocks and then hit some log or something hidden by the grass. I'm not doing that again. Glad you got out there and thanks!

I was quite surprised as I was flying through the air before abruptly hitting the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride Picnic almost every ride and it will be so nice to have that trimmed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Trails are still very soft. Got a ton of caking on my boots within feet of walking 1/4 Notch. Picnic is soft and has a couple of ruts forming from impatient riders. Other trails, particularly those with shade will be soft as well.
