joyride is great and so is all in skatepark

Just wondering what else is out there . Im going to check out rays and the wheel mill sometime before christmas and was thinking I might be missing out on another awesome park.

You guys in BC must be able to ride outside in the winter- not many indoor parks there it seems. For such a heavy mountain biking area

We can usually ride trails all year but dirt jumps and skateparks are usually not rideable from late October-March.
I'm across the street from Vic West skatepark and it dries very quickly, been riding there almost everyday this month. Feels a bit surreal after living in Ontario.

The weather has been pretty good this fall compared to the previous years

Is there a website or does anyone know where to find all the indoor bike parks in North America?

Air Rec Center in Maple Ridge, BC

Indoor skatepark, dirt jumps, air bag and resi
There is also Leeside,open to the public and free too.Not really indoor,but is under a city street bridge,so you won't get hit with all the elements.

The Louisville Mega Cavern jumps? I’ve been told those are long gone.

Yup, mega cavern jumps only have family friendly stuff now. No more bmx/dirt jumps

They will be out of business for good with this decision.

Not as sexy as a lot of the bikes I see in this thread, but wanted to share this frame my coworker gave me that I plan to build into a dirt jumper until I decide if I want to invest in a "real" dirt jumper. Just bought a Chromag Overture saddle for it and am going to look at new grips sometime soon

Any tips that I might not know about that will be helpful when building it up?

Was just given this frame along with a wheelset in exchange for driving a coworker home thinking of making a DJ out of it

I can't see the dropouts but if they're vertical you're going to need a hanger-mounted tensioner of some kind. Tbh not really worth all the trouble.

Start fresh with a frame and swap over what you can and start from there. Zircus and octane used frames can be had for cheap

It has vertical dropouts that slide, so I'm not too worried about that.
I got it for free so I'm trying to keep price as low as possible until I decide I enjoy dirt jumping enough to buy something like a Chromag Monk

Sliding vertical dropouts on the project DJ bolt heads are pretty stripped so will be replacing them

I have that fork- it's a Manitou Sherman Flick. Predecessor to the Gold label and circus. Pretty bombproof fork so I guess it will do. For a free bike it's better than a total noname build. Or anything with a DJ3

That's pretty decent frame and fork right there. If the fork is fixed to that travel, it definitely is a Manitou Sherman Jumper. And thats some nice piece of midschool fork mate! Just get some proper or half decent wheels and good tyres. Short stem and big enough handlebar. Some small modern seat, GOOD pedals and its full on nice capable jump bike.

Nice found

Got a Chromag Overture saddle for it and thinking of getting Chromag Contact pedals for it. I've already swapped the stem for a 50mm one I had taken off my full-suspension when I got a new stem for that bike.

I don't know if a better picture will help identify the fork better, but here's one anyways (featuring my dog in the background behind the stanchion)

Manitou Sherman fork on the project DJ will be removing the front brake
