hello bettyman.
thanks for the reply.
having high hopes is cool, but you have to remember that these logs are someone's effort to make a living and taking them is not really cool. it may not look like not much but logs cost a lot of money. i have a small business and if some one stole from me it would hurt my business and my family.....
if my logs where taken i would be pissed off. missing a few is not to bad but several is a bit of a problem, and just because someone else steals logs doesn't mean its cool to do the same thing.
also safety is a concern on the trails and if some one gets properly hurt that is not cool thing. i know you guys like building and its very satisfying but we don't own theses woods and we need to be thoughtful of our actions. and yes they cant stop us riding but they can ruin a lot of hard work. several of us have been riding up there for a long time as we are getting a bit old now. probably riding there before your time. i love the fact you guys like building, its great, but you need to think about materials and other riders. are you going to actually hit this jump? one more point... we don't really need more people riding there. there are plenty of riding spots and too many people makes it like a bike park which it is not... people will come because its a beautiful place with wicked riding not because it has huge jumps., and in fact we don't have permission to be there in the first place. so it gets complicated. do what ever you want but remember your actions. also just thought the horse people are more than cool with us, but if lots of people came it would jeopardise there business as well and they have been there for ages. i don't like scarring the horse's as it could get someone well hurt. i hope this makes sense. keep biking

hi guys
was just thinking about your monster jump, its good work and all, but i think the forestry might get funny about missing logs and also the hunting crew could use this as an excuse to be knobby and trust me they want any excuse. not sure if its a good idea. as much as i like big jumps it could be a problem.
don't mean to sound like a knob but you might want to think about possible consequences. at one point a while back at triscombe alot of the trails got mashed up by the forestry from over building jumps and wooden ladders. it started to get a bit out of hand up there even some uplifts with quad bikes and vans. some guys built quite a large kicker a bit bigger than yours and they used a lot of logs. they were not having it and smashed over jumps berms and took out a couple of lines. there are still wicked trails there but they are mainly naturals as possible with some decent jumps. this is a working forest and logs are worth quite a bit of money. i would suggest using logs that aren't stacked. harder work but less problems.
hope this is helpful.
ride on

hi jonny,
no worries i got a bit confused then....
man that lens is amazing.....
maybe we can get a satellite sorted. ha
hope we can ride soon g

i stick with my comment. i am just saying people are pushing the boundaries in mtbing further and further but at the same time are also risking there valuable lives in comps. and as far as money is concerned lets just say i love riding my bike with out the pressure of losing sponsors or not being cool enough or getting hurt so i cant ride my bike.... and people will pretty much do any thing for money and fame. still fair play these boys are wicked riders and have the skills to pull it off. i know how it feels to pull off a sweet trick but i am getting to old to push it this far.dohhh so i will stick with going fast and sending it. still i am a bit confused about this pic? i thought you took the pic? had a wicked time at the movie premiere. peace

sorry dude the camera doesn't lie.

man, i need a hair cut....
