Main line starting to get running?

Mega update time (and a triple post because no one cares.) Also i have been reading digmore too much (epic site... linky) so this has ended up a bit Boydesque

to begin we found a couple of bumers down the trails today. Proper gays pretending to be riders Wink

Trails init

So we have built a roll in, and layed on some temporary decking. here is the down ramp... We are yet to put up some barriers up top obviously as there is no permanent deck. This roll in goes to main, and is about 6 ft tall, there is a hole below it as i am sure you all saw in the pictures of the inside when it was in hut mode

Trails init


That leads into first, a 10 ft long beast, (we need to sort out the dead space form roll in to lip) so you shoot down at a billion miles an hour, wait a bit then go off a one foot lip and fly into this mother f*cker me and the gays dug out. tripled in depth do its now a solid ft and a half of pure fluid curve... Oh yeee that lip right there she is a solid 5 ft now and she throws you a good 13 ft along into a nice flat landing.

Trails init

you shoot down this jump that still needs some serious tinkering into this monster double dip bombhole, nice 5 ft lip there to shoot you straight up 7 ft and into a nicely built landing that we put a new back on (using the dirt from the bombhole we dug out as it was so prime we couldnt waste it until we got bored of barrowing it)

Trails init

this shows the landing a bit better and the layout of the trails from there on, as you can see both lines merge into one line of put one ness but still with two lips... doubles runs and races to come me thinks

Trails init

this is a bit closer and also shosw last a bit better peaking its head in, not that it works as 2nd from last is flat as hell as it was one of those jumps that everyone makes to be a last trick jump that goes solid, so you build another jump and well thats how lines were made kids. anyway that happened so its now a flat shitty thing that everyone loves but cant get past , and im going on, so to cut to the chase last dont work but everything else is prime(ish) i mean look at these jumps that are turning into an actual set (yey) Drool

Trails init

so you might have seen the woodland train edit i made and as you can see it is awesome, but the line starts with rollers, now we are getting locks up, so this was hard to keep the line locked and also encourages those pesky elusive trail rapists we have been having recently. i mean these dudes must be real park rats as they are dumb enough to leave the tarps off, but they have atiken dirt tires (like me) so maybe they are trails? im so confused. anyway we will find them and also lock the trails with fat metal bars. Anyway back to the point we revived an old jump (first steep jump i jumped-hear that kids i built jumps i didnt even ride) . So now we are removing the rollers and have a jump i have now hipped to a manly level to start the small line of the roll in. anyway here is the thing in all its bosness.

Trails init

ooh supporting struts (from one tree because im efficient like that). these will vbe slatted toon to make for steezeyness and trail rapist joy killing trailsness

Trails init

here is the whole layout... oooooooohhhh isnt it perty

Trails init

we also made a lip for the hip today, but it was soft, and some ass decided to ride it, anyway yep isnt it smooth. (like konys soldiers ass')

Trails init

here is the layout of the trails again and it shows you how the lip works because it is needed as swerving from the hip landing into the left lip causes slip outs as i found out today (sore right side). so yep this lip is there, as you will pin it from main

Trails init

you can once again see the awesome back and last right here, both are boss i am sure you will agree Wink also the hip works off the small line... bad sign, as it was made for main which you pin so i see it going up 2 or 5 ft (depending on how mad i am, and also how hungover the bumbers are as they dig when hungover as they are docile so i can persuade them)

Trails init

once again the sexy ass roll in returns as it is worth seeing twice. will have a couple more supports going up to strengthen the struts and add rigidity, but it is solid as hell as it is so i cant imagine the rigidity, it will be more rigid than alu forks

Trails init

also we put in a lip facing the tree, but it doesnt work, so we are building another bermed roller behind the bermed roller to give a better angle into it as you slip out coming out of the bermed rollers... woooooooooooh bermed rollers. so yep this is the lip thats haggard as it hasnt got bermed rollers into it so hasnt been ridden, or maintained, that will be fixed soon, ooh i just found a use for the excess dirt we have hanging about from the bomhole... onto the picture (so many squiggly red lines as bermed isnt a real word)

Trails init



NOW Time for the bit you just worked onto the riding photo's and im sorry you wasted all that tie reading all that as they are nothing amazing and that was a lot of reading (and on a weekend) im sorry for making you read

Firstly mr bollands whipping the wrong way on the transfer

Trails init

now rowe grylls -we call him this because he is called rowan and believes he is nature man and can catch animals with wire in the wild and could survive anywhere, but neglected to think that you dont have access to wire in the bush. But he pulls some tables so trails you could use them to... erm do something trails you need a table for? Though this isnt his best i assure you, transfers are hard to table

Trails init

Now mr pikey, a guy so pikey he crashed a gypsy wedding and put 10 ft of pipe in his 5 ft long car (its a peugot 107) he is also one of the bumers from the top. but he fills his bike with helium and it shows, shame i cant focus a f*cking camera, oh well

Trails init

and once more as i know you like his ass (nohomo)

Trails init


Anyway thats all doc, i hope you liked it and it was effort to write but i do this instead of loads of little updates as my phone is so trails it wont even take photo's (thats how i roll) so yep hope you enjoyed it, and with that i will be happy to answer questions, till then i bid you all adew

(holy f*ck i wrote more for this than i did for my last English gcse exam, though my English teacher would die if she saw this)
