Mountain Biking

For all things mountain biking. If it's pedal powered (or even pedal assisted), goes on two wheels, and belongs in the dirt, it's welcome here.

What isn't welcome: Hate speech, bigotry, assholery, road bikes...

I feel like I'm yelling into the void here, but why not right? Anyway, I went on my lunch break and moved the lander back on this big double so you don't need mach speed to clear it. Previously it required loads of pedalling to clear it, so hopefully it will be closer to trail speed now with the update. Video to come once it's dry enough to actually ride.

Take off

I gave it a shot last night (no video unfortunately) and, well it was a half success. The jump itself runs well, but I had attempted to put a roller in front of it to make it easier to build up the required speed to clear the gap, but it's terrible. I tried adding more dirt, but I think it just gets in the way so next time I do some work out there, I'm going to remove it. Oh well. The gap is nice though, so progress has been made!
