My brother Taylor and I decided, since it's such a nice day, to go out and ride at my Personal *Super Secret* Trails-Training Grounds. We took my camera and Taylor got some video and pictures of me.

I have just barely finished the first jump, 16 feet long with a steep backside. Prior to my first atempt, I decided to round the landing off a little after seeing how flat the lip is. This jump, as well as the runway leading up to it, has taken me about a week of hard labor to build (besides all of the cuts from moving the tumble weeds... OUCH, I just pulled out another thorn).

Check these out...

*This is a picture after I jumped on my 4th Attempt - According to my brother "I hit the soft pile of dirt, my bike sunk in, and I went completely upside-down hanging onto my handlebars. Then I tipped over" - it felt way cool!

Notice the progression in my body/bike positioning as my attempts progress. They go from straight up and down to horizontal in the air... interesting...

I am hoping the weather will hold out for a little longer so I can build the second one!

I hope these pics make everyone really itch to ride this weekend!!!

AWESOME!!!

Could you build a couple rollers to I can practice my rolling? LOL

Can't wait to get home and check out the vid's!!

The Video clips are AWESOME! Was Taylor filming? If so tell him "Good job" for me!

Jason, maybe I could build a double for you to jump? There's plenty of dirt around to build it!!!

Dani, it was Taylor. I was quite surprised how well he did. It took me a few trys to even get a rider in the frame the first time I took pictures. I guess we'll have to start calling him the "ShutterBug"...

I think I've got a good blue print for a double for me....

Here's your double:



and here's mine


I think Steve's son Carson has a sand box shovel you can borrow LOL
