Rocks?


My last trail is rounding 45 seconds if I remember correctly. Not much up hill. Not much rocks but some. The whole track was hand built, every rock moved and bridge hand made by yours truely. Clicky Clicky

There is nothing that exists that I can really think of that would be able to be turned into a trail.

Im not looking for super steep, just some elevation. I would be building from scratch again, suggestions would be great.

The area on Slayers is pretty lame as far as terrain goes though. It is nothing but a grassy shallow hill. Perhaps the hill further down the tracks would be more suitable for a DH style trail. It is bigger, steeper, has trees and I can only assume that there are some rocks on it.

What about the backside of the hill at Slayers? It's alot steeper and forest as well.

I'm not sure.. The south side of that hill. Like if you stood at the top of the hill and looked at the tracks, behind you.

I'm pretty sure anything behind the hill is owned by someone, so its probably not the best area to make anything unless you want it to get ripped apart. I have seen a guy riding a ATV at the top of the hill that the current runs are. He nevers says anything and just takes off after a quick look. Not sure if he might be the owner or not.

I was thinking of this hill;

Is there any way we can find out who owns what land in the area?

Is there any land that is actually legal to build on?

You can probably call/go to town hall, and ask to see who owns the land. I think it's a farmer. (lol, makes sense in that area Razz )
