That jumps is actually quite well built. Good job! Now you just need to hit it...

ill hit it....can u post some more pics of the actual full jump and gap?

LTmtb (Mar 6, 2012 at 20:46)

Look at my profile. We redid the berm, made a bit of a landing, and widened the take off.

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Mar 6, 2012 at 20:48)

can i hit it

LTmtb (Mar 6, 2012 at 20:49)

Ask Ben.

Now I saw the pictures of the berm right after it but why did you those there if it makes you not want to hit it? Reconstruct if it's too hard

LTmtb (Mar 7, 2012 at 19:30)

We already did one big overhaul of it. We don't want to make it straight because there's a ton of dead fall behind the berm and it would not line up with the rest of the trail at all. If someone hits it and it needs a lot more remodeling then it's just gonna get torn out.

I hit this and just let go of my bike and rolled to the side of the landing... sketchy shit!

LTmtb (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:36)

Did you really hit it?

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:37)

i dont think you did wyatt it looks really sketchy

WyattO (Feb 6, 2012 at 15:36)

I didn't land... did "I let go of my bike" not make sense?

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Feb 6, 2012 at 7:11)

looks scary unless u hav a ton of speed

LTmtb (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:39)

It's just a terribly designed line. If you case it, you fall 5 feet into the mini-canyon. If you overclear it, you shoot over the berm and land in a pile of big logs. I can't hit it because I'm still injured and Will can't hit it because he can't get hurt during baseball season. So it's pretty much down to Ben to guine pig it, but he doesn't like doing stuff like that.

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:40)

ya someone will eventually mayb ben will hit it

LTmtb (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:42)

Yeah maybe, I have a feeling it's gonna be me though. That means it's not happening for a while.

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Feb 6, 2012 at 12:43)

cool good luck i guess

Bjammin (Feb 6, 2012 at 17:26)

I swear if we rebuild the berm And take out 1 rock, it'll be fine. its still just such a sketchy run-in and run-out

LTmtb (Feb 6, 2012 at 17:33)

It's after the jump that I'm worried about. The run-in is fine.

Bjammin (Feb 6, 2012 at 18:23)

no its not. flying over the berm is the least of my concerns atm. just fix the little berm and maybe move this one rock. that should do it. Its kinda a shame since its the only rockgarden on the hill, but we can smooth it out fairly easily

LTmtb (Feb 6, 2012 at 18:26)

Yeah we should fix that little berm but you're really more concerned about casing it than over shooting the berm? If you don't touch your brakes there's no way you'd case it.

Bjammin (Feb 7, 2012 at 18:47)

thats what i think, but the run-ins so sketchy you have to start braking too early to know for sure

seanmcg (Feb 8, 2012 at 18:47)

dude! lemme get here i wanna hit this! im sure the seesion will kill it

Bjammin (Feb 8, 2012 at 19:03)

For sure dude! talk to liam, hes boss

mooseduck13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:45)

are you kidding me? I'd hit that shit on my stumpjumper with no tires on

downhilla-trailbuilda13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:47)

haha

LTmtb (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:53)

If you want to ruin your wheels and frame case, be my guest. And talk to Ben because I'm not back to riding yet and Will can't risk getting hurt because of baseball. Also, it's not the size that worries people, it's the line.

mooseduck13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:56)

I'm kidding about the tires but honestly if you need someone to guinnie pig that shit I will take care of it for you

LTmtb (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:58)

I'm gonna give Ben one more shot, but then you and Sean can go for it. I would hit it if I was riding.

mooseduck13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:58)

ben's not about to leave the ground period...

LTmtb (Feb 8, 2012 at 21:01)

He put in half the labor of building it so I give him a little more time, but I'm the only one at MA who guinea pigs anything . . .

mooseduck13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 21:02)

yeah sure im in no rush to hit that or anything. I'm not even supposed to be jumping

LTmtb (Feb 8, 2012 at 21:04)

What did you do to yourself anyway?

mooseduck13 (Feb 8, 2012 at 21:09)

shoulder injury

LTmtb (Feb 8, 2012 at 21:33)

Well that sucks.

Bjammin (Feb 10, 2012 at 17:05)

hey hey hey I'll hit it, just wanna take out the rock and rebuild the berm. The run-in is just too sketchy to be able to accurately gauge speed at the moment

downhillpunk32 (Feb 10, 2012 at 18:17)

Um...yah. Hit it with speed, don't gauge it. Why did you build it if you aren't going to hit it?

Bjammin (Feb 11, 2012 at 8:18)

Yeah this video doesn't show the really sharp berm that basically is the landing. So If I dont want to case it or fly over the berm, I have to have the speed just right. if that wasn't there everybody would've hit it a long time ago

LTmtb (Feb 11, 2012 at 10:15)

Thanks Ben for explaining what that guy would clearly have seen if he read my first response to downhilla-trailbuilda13's comment. A few more responses and this thread is getting deleted.

Will22 (Apr 25, 2012 at 21:30)

The obvious solution....... LLOYD PUSSY!!!!!!!!! hahaahahaha

Bjammin (Apr 26, 2012 at 20:12)

goddammit will... Liam delete that please
