Trails on the brain again.

Worked on the trails for a hot minute this morning, but I have to get on the road to ATL now. The parks are amazing there. Here is a super sick trails video from DerelictBMX.com via Deluxe.

Cool trails video.

Found this cool trails video on Vimeo.

We will be having this much fun pretty soon. Notice how perfect all the jumps are. When you have a limited amount of dirt or the dirt you have is hard to access, one solution is to use every last bit the best way you can. Nothing is wasted. This results in the jumps themselves becoming works of art.

We worked on trails today.

Here's the current state of things:



The berm.

 



The roller after the berm.

 



Then the trail splits, with the new beginner line to the left.

 



The first, and so far only, beginner jump - front view.

 



Side view.

 



Other side view.

 



And back on the main line, aka "mains," this is the first jump.

 



Second jump.

 



Third jump.

 



Doug standing on the landing of the third jump. Yes, the gap is as big as it looks.

 



Fourth jump fetus.

 



Doug's bike.

 



Yeah, there are a few hazards.

 



Yeah, there are a few huts.

 



Yeah, Manuel survived.
