Well play it by ear I guess. Also I want to build a roller coster type bridge, anyone have any good ideas on how? The bridge will start on the rock ledge after the "Scottsman drop" go up slightly, then roll down to a kicker lip, should be sweet, any ideas?????????

I like where your heads at I'm thinking like nice smooth FAST rollers to kicker would be nice is it gonna be built up ladder bridge tranny http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/924453/ this one looks nice but the see saw on the end really would kill th speed part, and laz will probably want it a little wider I'm pretty interested, I'm gonna see what I can do about getting out there that weekend to build _________________ http://www.downcycles.com Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:45 pm Karpi Burner   Joined: Oct 17, 2003 Posts: 173 That's sweet, it's something like that, it will start going up then down then back up to the kicker. Too bad we can't see how the curve is made. Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:49 pm Karpi Burner   Joined: Oct 17, 2003 Posts: 173 Just got an update, the work/trail clean up weekend will be the 21st & 22nd. We want to wait for the snow & mud to go away, and so we can set up the food/brewski's.

If you are really going for flow, add a ladder to the right side of the rock drop for people who don't want to huck it. This will increase flow and the number of people who are able to enjoy the course. Remember, it's all about fun for all, not just a few. And yes, I'm one of the peeps who think that landing sucks a big cock. SO DO WHAT I SAY TOM OR I'LL BE FORCED TO FLY TO PLATTY AND CUT YOU!
