Yep, just got it built up before Xmas. It's my present to me! Someone gave me a nice hardtail frame so I used that as an excuse to put a bigger 6" fork on the Trance and build up the hardtail with the 4" Reba. I should post photos of both bikes somewhere on here. I've been loving the lightness and snappiness of the hardtail, but the Trance is fun on Jedi too with all those new jumps.

Great riders with a good choice in trails but poor choice in music.

But that's all the smack I can talk about someone who clears that ravine gap.

Why is everyone so high on this Dusty Bottoms character? Have you people actually met him? Terrible human being.

my buddy and I rode Jedi today.
rode past one of the diggers on the trail.
Good work guys! Looks like beginnings of some really solid stuff.. There is mad potential there, as the traffic on the trail is pretty limited.

We're very interested in lending a hand and throwing some dirt up there. Don't want to step on any toes, however, so give us the lo down on the tools and the digging situation there.

We're the guys that dig at the drops and doubles down in the canyon. Have a couple of shovels down there that we could drag up to Jedi.

nice work on the gapper by the way, the berm before the gap is money.. sets you up perfect. The run-out and "berm" after the gap needs some work.

cheers!

Nice job, Kev. It would of been even better if you had made it, but since there is no picture of you landing it we will just have to guess what happened???

Man, that's a purdy bike, who makes that?

There's plenty of room for everyone. We've been building the diving boards right next to the main trail and the ravine area. Another group is taking things further off trail, which is cool too. The more options the better. Id' love to see 2 really fast lines in the end.

Probably because I installed a wussy line to the right of the steps. You're welcome.
