Yep. Nice ski ramp now. When you sit on the switchback above it, you can't even see the gap. I benched the side of the nana line around it, and there is now a rather large platform on the right hand side to land on.
All we need to do is have a couple of weeks of no rain and it should be hard enough/solid enough to hit

Nope. We just thought that you completely styled it. Looked smooth as...nice one!

Nope - me and mike didn't touch our bikes after you left. Just spent the rest of the afternoon building a new line into a bermed/banked laddery drop that I'm going to build (kinda like a down-slope-facing half-wallride). We also smashed out that rock outcrop after your little kicker.
We did rather a lot of digging now that I think of it. That would be why my shoulder is a bit sore today then...

Yeah the weather was average but I had a great time up at LG digging with you guys and was stoked to hit the lower section for the first time...
Jordan I was up at Maidstone for a couple of hours on Sat, cleared some of the track but mostly stood there dumbstruck trying to decide where to start...
I hear you are getting some dirt dumped up there which will help a lot, there is a lot of scope to build whatever type of track we want huh?
looks like my workload will not be slowing down till December... 
Anywho that is all I have, if you are wondering what I am up to/do when I am not on my bike check out my recently created blog. (still needs a lot of work).

And yeah, nice moves on the greasy drop. Took me several weeks before I decided that I could hit it...

Should be enough room to keep around 20 punter happy

Hmm.... depending on how busy I am leading up to exams, I'd be keen for a shuttle day too.

...and once again, with trippelz. Small problem (going to be fixed) with the 66s, so I'm back to trail riding 888s again. Huzzah!
Mostly I'm pleased that I didn't lose the +20mm post mount adapter that I didn't need when I got the 66s.

Well I would do, but unfortunately my wife is going to need surgery, so I won't be going to vegas. A bit bummed but every so often stuff happens that is more important than riding 
Still, I may do some hucks this weekend, and maybe on my nightride tonight...
