An Awesome Evening!

Jordan, Billy and I went out with the intentions of getting our first kicker jump installed. Cooler boom box...check, 18 pack of Bud heavy...check, chainsaw..check, shovels...check. Rolling out late we new we'd have limited day light. First up was we were going to tie up the RR crossing before Squirrels Nest to make it more forgiving for those that seems to crash a lot on tracks. There was a chunk of ties in the weeds that was used up the line just for this purpose....how cool. We tried to cut it in half as its quite heavy, dull chain = crooked cuts about half way through on both sides....bail on idea. Then the taco riders show so we now had many hands to help move the whole enchilada. Get it over and set it only to see its to narrow and we need to cut it anyway....bail on this idea again:) Off to Big Boy as this will be where said jump will take resisdence:) Billy and I hiked back and picked up the plank we'll be using, by the time we go back it was getting dark and Jordan and JC had ran itno a root problem with our location so it became a night of just drinking and dreaming:) After a few beers we all went and hit Rhythm from the looks of it we were the first in there. Next mission it to get it back into riding shape. 4hrs and it'll be all good. Now back at the cooler of beer we have one more before our moon lite ride out of the woods. What a perfect evening!

Tetter totter done, well sorta:)


High Boy is about 5'9 on the drop side...that is to high! While I want some freaking addrenaline I don't want anyone dropping a front wheel off from that hieght.



Heading back out tonight to drop it down at least a foot, then building a small tetter for the beginners along with a very low but long skinny for the beginner too:)

Center Trails Hillside Expansion

So on the Cita site it seems Center's Hillside has won out the votes with 32 over a Summerset expansion with 14. I REALLY THINK THIS BLOWS ASS! I love the Center, but I'm bored with it during this time of year and right now depending on how you lay your path out you can get 14+ miles in just one loop. Thats pretty fucking good kids. But come on don't you think it would be really sweet to have 2 trails to ride so we can change it up some? Well ok 2.5 trails...with Targhetto:) Summerset as it sits right now has roughly 3 miles of single track with 2 miles of pavement to connect it all. Don't you think it would be completly bitchen it it were 5 or 6 miles of single track? Center is a mere 4 min. ride from my garage...awesome for sure, Summerset is a 20 min. drive which is pretty close or an hour and some change to ride there...thats not bad either way. I guess what I'm saying is I will not be working on the Center Trails on scheduled work days on those day's I'll be a Summerset scouting and planning.
