    all those little bumps are avoidable. But be being a terrible rider I tend to go for them anyway and crash.. haha
    I rode there monday or tuesday I think, and the ruts are what concerned me more.

    I was actually there today around 3pm.. Cholla, Lynx, and Rock-It is really nice. Although Rock-It has some soft spots to slip on in the single track!

    I hope to be there. BTW, Sunday is not a points race, so there may not be a lot of people there. Friday night is the last points race of the year at Orange. I may go to work on my 20" skills...er...learn some.

    went and rode oaks today... we spotted two "jumps" but they look more like small cones off to the side of the trail... i don't see why someone would try to jump it, maybe use it like a hip.. the first one people would just ride by since it is so close to the intersection of what used to be the single track down from the top and barham ridge. from what i remember the second one, you would really have to go out of your way to hit it

    After reading all this about little bumps in the trails, I was just wondering one thing.

    Is it okay to build smart jumps instead of dumb jumps?

    How many STR members does it take to figure out...

    ...that these jumps are lame?

    If they're little, just kick the damn things down and be done with it. This is ridiculous. Let's move on to something else now.

    Seriously, people piss and moan about this stuff all day long, but it doesn't stop the kids or whoever from building this stuff and it never will. So instead of trying to figure out the big mystery just take some immediate and decisive action.
