 That trail is so cool looking. You and your family should take a trip over to canada and see all the cool trails we have. Actually, that sounds a bit selfish. eventhough your trail seems bigennerish, you and your friends do have a lot of fun on it. I like the way you built the stunts. the stunts are simple, but they have endless oppertunitys.

 Thank you very much, this trail is simple but yes very fun and all the jumps can be ridden big or just rolled it great. I have 2 courses I have built in the last 3 years. this course and on other which is more DH freeride with jumps and drops.

 Really thank you!! It been 4 years in the process. This course has been a great way for me to make myself feel planted in Japan as mountain biker. This type of trail riding is getting popular here little by little.
I have so many creative thoughts yet so little time,hahahahah

flag GabrielDugas (Jun 2, 2010 at 19:06)
 yeah, it's a girl apologizing to her boyfriend because the music is between both of them, and that she have to make a choice, and she is explaining to him that the music is more important. it's an extremely cheezy song :p hahahaha but still it sounds very good when you don't understant the lyrics!

flag nikoniko (Jun 2, 2010 at 15:18)
 I liked this song as well it was nice and refreshing for some reason..
Whats a Sade? dont know. I want to do more building at Laputa but right now its just as when you were here!!!
The last section need more work like some bigger jumps creating more speed!!

 A Sade is a beautiful honey skin lady with a smooth sultry voice ! I grew up listening to her as the old man was a big fan. Wow for some reason the end looked different to me.. maybe just new perspective ? Looking foward to see what work you do to it.

flag nikoniko (Jun 2, 2010 at 20:09)
 Nice a Sade sounds awesome. I love the a sultry voice.
Its funny a new perspetive can change your view.. I will plan to do some work through the monsoon season as Laputa is very dangerous when its wet.
Ride On!!
