Sweetness, too bad the life of that area may be numbered. The man who owns that area is getting ready to start building 'custom track' homes, he just has to push some papers through to the city. The surrounding communities have tried to block the development of that land, and the last chance to stop it is coming in mid December, if memory serves me correctly from last seeing the flier.

Last shot from the day and by far my favorite.
If this drop is where I think it is, this guys is nucking futs. Stinky this is the drop onto the trail down to the powerline rollin correct? If so how do brake quick enough to keep from rolling off the other edge. :eek:

Sweet pics BTW. As always I'm speechless.

Yeah that is the one. There are two ways of doing that drop: 1. Is how Haas is doing it in that picture where you just hit it with very little speed and get on the brakes hard after landing; 2. Is how I prefer to do it (pictured below) come up to the drop at 0mph and wheelie-drop it. Either way you really need to get on the brakes or else bad things will happen.

Great shots Stinky. I'll see you this weekend when I get to town. Padre tells me you have been working on the big kicker next to the road gap. If so, I want to see you hit it!

Leeboy-yeah we are planning on riding there this Saturday morning. Hey B, who told you my secret? Gabe and I spent 5 hours making that gap ready to be hit. We plan on having a bit of a huck-fest this weekend. I don't know if I want to pedal up the "three" if I am going to be thrown-n-down. What do you want to do? Do you want to pedal one then shuttle one?
