    trashcans sound good, I could fit at least 10 in the truck and use the top entrance to dump it

    RR of today
    It was awesome weather even if the rain gods didn't give us any dirt to dig

    Opps wrong bike, from sunday, no one takes pics of me at the bowl

    today went well, we all had fun but coudlnt get much building done, the ground was asphalt hard and after you dug it up pretty much powder without rain or a truck full of water we arent going to get much done
    today was my first day Dj ing a 20" bike in a year and it actually felt good I havent decided if i like the 20 or 26 better yet , the 20 is defintly more fun to throw around in the air

    That spine was freaking me out, but it looked like the funnest jump there. Need to learn the transition so I dont launch it like Phong did. He was freaking was 15ft in the air to a flat landing.

    I honestly don't know how he overshot it that much. I suppose, props to him for getting that much speed, but still.

    just hit it slowly and then work your way up. I never got more than halfway down the tranny

    the thing is right now the jumps are so tore back that in one 6 inch spot there is a good lip that throws you right then right next to that is a bump or less lip, the screwed up lip on the kahuna almost killed phong and my myself

    hence why I wasn't hitting the kahuna. that and I feel bad casing jumps on other people's bikes :)

    speaking of which, you back wheel might be a tad out of alignment. might be worth checking...

    My first test at some Jumping after the collar bone. It felt good, but the first try at the drop, I felt my shoulder pop. Guess I need to get some strength back. I felt like a wuss today. But at least I cleaned ( sorta) the bigger jump against what my mind was telling me. Gotta get that just go mind set back. Riding Oaks tomorrow at 2 pm if anybody want to shuttle. Chuck is going with me.
