Mountain Biking

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...

Fixing up the local spot (sh.itjust.works)

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

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

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