Hey all,
Just want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone that came out to throw dirt on Sunday. We ended up with 54 people (plus a couple late stragglers) that included about 10 groms and 1/2 dozen gals, plus at least 10 dogs. Big props to Chris and Allen who not only took care of breakfast and pizza for lunch, but they brought a fair bit of killer swag and their crew of builders with them.
We split into groups of 10 and took on some really big projects. There was a lot of tweaking and revegging that went on yesterday. The goal was to make everything "caseable" and at least a handful of jumps were re-shaped. We made it about 2/3 of the way down the hill and I'm guessing we've got another couple of weeks before the trail is considered ready for the public, so please be patient with us as we make necessary changes. Folks will be working on it most days until it's ready to go.
Cheers,
EB

This section got dialed by TZ, Spence, Andrew, Hawk and a bunch of other folks. 4 jumps in a row.

Scuch and Mattie. These dudes with the help from Teague, Hawk, Brandon and a few others extended this a table by 6 or 7 feet. Guys were overshooting the tranny to flat....that won't be a problem now. ;)
