not unnecessarily if you want to wheelie over it...

Nah the pad wasn't level it was tilted down too much to manual over. You might have been able to tail tap it at most.

Oh it's just the angle of the picture, It's actually a good 3 feet off the side of the trail

Figured i would put up a video of the line we are going to make way longer and will be working on at the end of the month! Were bringing out a bobcat to make the landings bigger, switching the takeoffs to two side by side wood ramps( L vs XL), and makeing the line 5 jumps long. My guesstimate of when we will be out there to do this is after christmas, but before new years. Keep yalls eyes peeled on facebook for when!

Thank you for posting up that video, those doubles look amazing!
I'm glad to see more dirt and less wood, it lasts much longer and has a better feel to it.
You should also post up some photos of the jumps & gaps with your bike in the shot because it is hard to get a sense of scale from POV videos

This is a Small Freeride feature, but I think still worth posting, because a lot of people build for different levels of riders.

Small Road Gap @ Highland Bike Park, New Hampshire:

You can see there's a down-slant for a landing. So, finding natural landings, then setting the platform (in this case made of dirt and rocks) back a good 8-12 feet makes for a great feature:

And here's BIG version at Whistler.

Great inspiration boys using the natural down slope. Less digging Wink

Video doesn't really do too much justice to the size! The last hip is in the range of 20-25 ft. Definitely went heavy on using wood for most of the features since it's a pretty gently down slope the whole way.
