Week end plans

Even though it is Christmas weekend people are still going out tomorrow on Saturday and I will be out there Sunday. Well with some consideration of the people new to freeriding and for the people still on the cross country side we have a plan for the end of the bridge. We are gone make a step up to a higher ladder if you hit it with speed or you could just ride up. Then a drop off the end but nothing big so should be pretty easy. But we are gone add a cheater line to just ride down (nah got have some progression cant go big the first time). And from there we will be able to pick the different lines. Got some good hook ups on wood thanks again mike and found some good places to buy it, but still forking out a good chunk any donations whether wood or money goes along way. Hopefully we will have some good weather to get some building done.

Do U want to RIDE this????!!!!

Bridge Build

Well with the great weather and a ton of help, thanks to everyone for coming out, we were able to get a lot built and get some good riding done. Here are some photos showing some progression on moving the bridge across the ravine and building the supports. I didn't get any film of the riding but I know that Rusty had to have caught some good stuff on the video cam. Glad to land that big jump cleanly its butter smooth if you clear it. Speaking of that the ravines took its first victim; I think Coles wreck was the hardest I have ever seen. I have definitely never seen a wheel taco that fast and see a Marrzochi fork bend two inches to the right and crack the crown so bad. That one had to hurt but he is a trooper, he'll be out next week. All in all a great day of riding and getting the first run dialed. It was nice to have some new guys out, Derek and Scott. Hopefully see some videos and more photos up.

Weekend plans

Here are the plans for the bridge gap to cross the ravine that divides the property in half. Also some sweet potential for some awesome runs through the ravines. Where we could go pretty much as crazy as you want! Any say 80 ft drop, well not yet and probably never but it is possible. Back to the plans that my dad drew up, I made a couple changes/ suggestions. I added some dimensions to the plans for all who have not seen the bridge in person which looks big and scary. Also I think we will put the bridge up so it slants down and not level so you can coast easier/pedal across.

Naming Ideas

Nate's Skill Park is a cool name but it will be lasting if we decide to keep the name the same. I am pretty happy with the name but the has been a little talk of calling it some thing different. So I thought I would post a few idea names and a drawing that my dad did up.
possibilities
Nate's Downhill Ranch (Cole's Idea)
Desoto Ravines
Nate's Desoto Ravines
Nate's Extreme Ravines

anyone else got any good ideas or does NSP work?

Sunday

Hey I am going out sunday hopefully everyone will head out again just give me a call and let me know or throw a comment up. Plans? Hoping to gather some good ideas from everyone and start working on a skinny / elevated line get some technical riding at the park. And Land that jump cleanly!
