Surely your not proposing that with some imagination a small amount of work you could actually use the fantastic AUSSIE terrain we have and create our own unique type of FREERIDE stunts ?? This is an outrageous idea. I think it is best to mimick the stuff we are fed in N,shore video's.as you shuttle up from the sandy car park, and turn the bend, look up to your right. There is a 40m rock shelf that slopes its way down to the edge of the road, would be an awesome stunt!
check it.
Bah ha ha!!Derka Derka you are smarty pants aren't you
Checked your time when you change your copy
Ok, maybe Cuthbert is older. I will have a chat with him.
I agree, you built a good jump, but that was never the problem.I still think we build it up good jump... and somebody gave it good nick: 747 (nice one).

What sort of progression are you talking about? From the sounds of things your trying to step up to far to fast. I think that you shouldn't go beyond, something like an 80% difference. ie there should be 80% + that is the same as some other jump or combination of jumps that you've experienced.How are you supposed to progress to the next big thing if the next big thing already requires you to have the skill before you can try it?.
Too complicated...if the main problem is people over shooting the jump. How about we get someone who is adept at hitting it record some stats on it. Ie speedo on the bike could record the right speed to hit it at (although this would probably not be practical for ppl). Alternatively ppl could watch him or video him and then record the number of seconds between two trees or something so people could cound themselves in and if they reach that tree before counting to three then they are going to fast, slam on the breaks and head back up for a second run.
It will be great thing when you get home to Oz to apply your knowledge and skills. Could be a new trail building business coming to Oz...I have been slowly building up a library of trail building standards, designs and pictures from my time over here. I will have a look through what I have and see if there is anything that you might be interested in.
I certainly plan to put lots of skills into use but I don't think I'll be challenging Glen Jacobs and co professionally any time soon.It will be great thing when you get home to Oz to apply your knowledge and skills. Could be a new trail building business coming to Oz...
Glen Jacobs is same quality trail builder as other else... probably same as you... his advantage is that he has big know-how where the money coming from (government). So don't put your confidence down.I certainly plan to put lots of skills into use but I don't think I'll be challenging Glen Jacobs and co professionally any time soon.
Although if they wanted to give me a job it would be tough to say no, sure he's got plenty of good staff though.
I plan to work in the public service (hopefully NPWS) though and I'm sure some skills could be put to use there in some way.
