I don't know. I can definitely see a line with a much higher take off. Would be a challenging send, I think the lander is obscured and off line a little. @Scotty T should be able to confirm?

No so much what I've don to my bike yet, but I've come into a 700 bucks from some eBay sales of shit I didn't need and am wondering how it should be spent on the bike. Considering upgrading the GX mech to an x01 or an xx1. Thinking a gold chain to matchy matchy the fox factory gear. Anything else worthwhile doing to a basically new bike?
Maybe some tools?

What don't you like about your bike at the moment?
Brakes and / or drivetrain to Shimano...

Yes the young kiddies go from the right hand side looking down, another 2ft or so and a difficult line and run in. I think it could be done as a step up, but would need to see someone do it (also the other line) before I'd try.
Goals achieved yesterday were to make a nice floaty drop and to take the landing to the left and hit the little jump that comes up fairly quick after landing.

This is a good question. Nothing really. Hmmm
Also brakes are fine. Code RSC with 200mm rotors front and back. Not much to change.
As to changing drive train to shimano. Bit too much (As in things to do). Was planning staying sram for the eventual AXS upgrade.

Yep, I chickened out today on the regular one but that is the higher line and means you hit the landing on an angle.

Another cruisy 43km river ride this morning. Quite pleasant aside from the behaviour of quite a few cycling groups.
I’m really puzzled how they expect patience, courtesy and respect from drivers on the road, but can’t provide same to pedestrians and recreational cyclists when they’re on the shared paths.

Thanks for all the bananas
I reckon this is what's happening on my wheels. It feels like it's the pedals but I swapped those and it's still doing it. Either that or my crankset is shit (which it is).

I was planning to go to The Gardens this afternoon but forgot we had to be somewhere else at 5pm.
Damn hot today so a ride closer to home was good enough.

Finally!!! A fucking ride! Made it to the local trails (glenrock lagoon) for a few push tracks and some laps of dirt lumps. Fist ride of the year and I was plenty wonky. Amongst my bag of tricks I was still able to perform some of them. I had to rummage real deep to pull out the old 1 hander! Felt good for the brief hundredth of a second it lasted. Trails and jumps were mostly in poor condition. Lots of dickheads. Life felt so normal.

You will definitely get it, that nose wheelie you did that time on Pork Barrel scared me much more than this drop, and it was you doing the nose wheelie!
@pink poodle I reckon Danny McAskill and co could step up, but no way I could, looking at it in real life it is very hard with no real kick off the lander. Same with the big drop, I have a ways to go before I'd even consider it.
I watched the below while hanging in the garage this arvo and got inspired to take the hardly ridden DJ bike out into the front street and have a crack at some manuals. It's very good, I got a few tiny but nice feeling ones, I will persist as the bike feels really good when I hit the balance point. Keen to get it out on the pump track.

Took the cx bike for road ride (there was a tiny bit of gravel) then finished off the morning with a short mtb segment on it. I was a few km short of my longest ride so was looking for an extension.
Probably gonna do this once a month to keep the legs in check, the speed factor was a stack of fun, but not the same fun as single track!
