i tried to get the tranny a bit bigger. and someone has built another berm at the top of the hill but that's it. im thinking about building another trail but more spaced out that the one thats already started.

I should be going out there more, now that I have the clear from the doctor to start using my thumb again.

I have my bike in for a tune-up too, I can't wait to ride it again. Beer

I'm probably going to start working on a new trail that doesn't have any 'jumps' on it. I would like to have a single track trail that doesn't have a groomed feel like the others. This type of trail will also use the entire hill with switchbacks, and won't just be a straight shot down the middle of the hill like the others.

Guys, I checked this out for the first time Sunday morning. After questioning whether or not I was going the right direction several times over, there it was. Unfortunately, by the time I pushed my bike up the top of the hill, the first of the thunder started, and I wasn't super stoked to ride out during a thunder storm with a shovel strapped to my back. Mobile lightning rod anybody?
At any rate, some cool stuff going on in there. I had a hard hard time trying to connect a top to bottom run, but I only got three in before I had to split. Once it's all memorized, I'm sure it will have a lot more flow. Looking forward to checking it out on a sunny day. Cool

there's ton of potential, i just need to get out more. unfortunatly i have another flat tire and it's getting harder for me to get out because of other sports and family buisness. but with canadmos getting better maybe he can get out there a bit before i can join himtup

If it doesn't rain, I will be going up there on Saturday. Not sure of the time yet though and I will be without the bike, so I will only be digging.

hahaha i never really thought of it as a pump track but the run at the top hasn't been finished. though someone added another berm at the end and fixed the first little path jump. the only two things i dont like about that run is someone added a jump at the start before the berm, and it's not really a "big bike" friendly trail. but hopefully i can be out there soon and help finish the "pump track" while posibly starting a new "big bike" friendly trail. so hopefully it will be finished soon!Beer

yeah i was out there today riding it and that jump kind of mini table top thing is kind of weird and im on a hard tail:S but its still so much fun to ride on, i especially love thatt berm when you take the trail down the entire hill and its is the third berm i believe, turning right. it just launches you out of it!:P

Does anyone know where the shovels and rake went? If you do, send me a pm please.

I don't care if anyone uses them, just put them back where you got them. Its a pretty big bummer when you hike in without a bike to do some digging only to find all the tools are gone.
