My idea would be just after crazy train cut a new line beside the atv road and make a super sick series of stunts or jumps etc. That way you could hit the line no matter what trail you took from the top. I wanna do that anyway make a big set of dj's as an alternate route for the big boys. That is something we could start this season after the snow starts to fly at the top, what you think dave?

Honestly I don't like that idea.There are a lot of hikers and people walking there dogs in that area and building it up will bring to much heat to the area.Id rather stay up higher. I think building on the 2.5 is the best bet as it hasn't seen anything new for awhile.

OK at the 2.5km when you go left at the spiro/suspension ride intersection, way further down there is a big open area to the right at the point where you ride along the edge of the creek.

It's a real sweet spot, there's natural drop-ins higher up top of this open area which could act as run-ins to dj's or stunts, plenty of terrain around to have fun playing with. Looks like plenty soil available there too.

Where specifically? Just after the suspension bridge there is a nice stretch with no stunts. Access would be not to bad, I think you are the only one with a quad. We could do some stuff over the swamp section also that would be good also.

Last year I hiked and tagged a new line on the high side of jackpine road.It comes out above builders and its only a 5min hike to the entrance. The trail would be long enough to make the hike worth it and there are alot of natural rock obstacles that could be built on to make it interesting without that many stunts. I never got to starting it. It would be a good joint operation.Would also add lenth to builders.Since its fairly close to the road building access isn't bad either.Just an idea. I think I will come to your fire on sunday and we can discuse it more.

if you drop it to the fairly angled tranny, it about 10-15 feet, and the step down is 10X10, and the step up is 5X20 id say

Anytime, build crew will be there from 10.00am @ the 3.5km parking lot/wiener roast area.

Reckon the cook out will be mebbee midday start or later, but whatever, the Bomber Man appears to be the wiener meister.

Bring bike, session stuff, whatever. Chill out times.

I always thought a good spot for a new line would be from builders. Kinda by Jedi Facker down to Hairy Heel some where. Not sure if it is even feasable or not, just an idea.
