For all things mountain biking. If it's pedal powered (or even pedal assisted), goes on two wheels, and belongs in the dirt, it's welcome here.

What isn't welcome: Hate speech, bigotry, assholery, road bikes...

No one else was maintaining this spot so I decided to grab a shovel and fix it up. Progress so far:

Re-faced a few jumps
Fixed drainage problems in a berm
Cleared out vegetation on a gap and working on sizing the lander appropriately for the speed
Added some dirt to a roller set to make it more fun to rip

Whatcha riding?

Commencal fanboi: '21 Meta HT single speed conversion with no dropper for jumps, Clash '22 Race for trail.

Thanks for doing this! I've wanted to get plugged into a group that does this type of thing.

Sometimes you just have to be the group. This trail was all but abandoned so I decided to just get out there and fix it.

I'm always a fan of drainage work - time well spent, but everyone just wants to build jumps..

[–] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the most important consideration, IMO. Jumps are fun when they run fast enough. Nothing ruins speed like gloopy, poorly draining trails.

Amen!
