Haha! Funny! I was wondering who made those jumps! I was convinced it was a little jump fairy, been leaving a little pile of dirt under my pillow every night, but he won't build here, gotta do it myself! Check my profile dude...then come on down!

Sho have! We hit em a few times a little while ago..maybe 2 months ago or so? Also found the makings of a little road gap just outside the treeline by the big clearing area.. it was sketch and I cased er pretty good the first time, but we finally got it.

That's a gap that my buddy and I started but got too involved sculting the jumps. I have plans for that gap which will make it easier to hit it faster. I'm going to build it up another foot or so. i'd have to explain instead of typing it haha. But i agree, right now the gap is sketch.

Cool you've been down this way. what made ya take the trek to sioux city?

No no, the jump pictured was just fine, the road/trail gap we found was the sketchy one! And actually, I've been hitting the Yards off and on for prob 5-6 years!
Only thing I'd do differently with your jumps is lay the lips down a bit, make the gaps bigger and turn up the speed. I've never liked real "kicky" jumps unless they're for a stepup. And I LOVE my stepups!

Oh I know what you meant. The road gap is a ways from the jumps pictured. You have to turn left into it in order to hit the gap. And what you suggested about these jumps we are going to build out here. I want some with bigger distance for sure! I've got a couple more plans out there that i'd have to just show ya. It'll be pretty cool when done, and not huge or nothing just fun as hell. Go to your area to ride and build. Come to this area to ride and build. Head out to the black hills as much as possible. all this could easily make a badass winter/spring/summer/fall/winter....
