    Anyone ready to die??
    Planning on hitting the whoops saturday around 2 pm ish hopefully earlier should be lots of fun, any bike is ok,
    I think a Hardtail dj bike is the best, but FS bikes work as well.

    Great Place to learn how to jump, plenty of small jumps and table sections to learn on :beer:

    Bryguy, it sounds painful, but nothing too longterm. Heal up quickly.

    well, I had been practicing my flatland manuals for about a half hour, and it was going stunningly (seriously, it feels so good when you do a solid manual). decided to do some work on my high bunny hops (trying to get >3 feet), and I just looped out the pre-manual into one of them.

    I'm guessing it's a matter of me just being a. too strong, b. being better and bringing the front of the bike up (from the manuals), and c. being used to a longer bike that doesn't rotate back as fast. happened super fast and just jammed my wrist, then flat on my back.

    anyway, I've strained my wrist before. just takes a few days to get good again. got it in a soft brace, so all is good

    hey I'm up for riding this almost anytime during the week if anybody wants to hit this. I live about 20 mins away from this trail in culver city. went out there last week and had a blast. Pm me if you want to ride this Monday I can probably make a session. I'm just getting back into jumping, but I'm down for doing the table tops and the smaller jumps, nothing too crazy. I still haven't done the river gap - that gap looks even wider now:bang:
