Its that time of year again...
Post pictures of ridiculous trails, showcase the work you've been doing this spring or post something you've seen online.
This is the hip/berm area at some trails I dig at...only second or third year they've been around so nothing insane yet, but theres loads of lines going on here.

why are you making a 15 foot step up that is 3 feet high? just make it into a double that you can boost. i heard those thing are like 15 foot gaps from curb cuts

I think he means the landing is 3 feet higher than the lip . As dipicted in the picture.

same, along with all the places cameron posted. I remember seeing that double to berm to double a few months back and came in this thread assuming I'd see it again. incredible.
Does anyone have that pic someone posted a while back of that downhill double into that massive berm? A lot of ppl commented that if u messed up you'd launch out of the berm and destroy urself on the random post behind it.

We've got a line where you hit three berms before you even get to a double... the line itself has five berms and six doubles although we haven't gottem the last few ready yet this year... too many mountain bikers plowing through the lips.

all of these places are insane
-
This thread has inspired me to start a bit of digging all by my lonesome since I bike alone. Not that it will be anything worthy of being in this thread, just a dirt quarter for practicing on for now. Thinking about adding a hip and a double along with some other stuff that mixes some more street stuff in with dirt. But we'll see how the quarter itself ends up.

Yessssss.

That's the first set in a line we're building. Lip into a berm lander type deal, then another berm into the first big set in the line.
Terrible picture, i'll get some nicer ones later. Especially when we start riding it in.
-
Those look like they'll be a ton more fun than your last set, good work man!
Edit-POW looks fugging amazzzing!
-
most of these are a built old, there's more now. the only new ones are of the step up. oh, and a mysterious brent webb shot.
hmm, maybe i should try and resize...
-

Yeah this place is downhill and has way better dirt, and is obviously in the woods, unlike my old spot. Dug today as well, i'll get new better pics soon.
Saw this on the Axelrad site and i can't figure out what's going on:

Those are so nice. Shame they got plowed.

i love this thread. i need to get my ass busy at m place.
trail dudes, what's the trick to getting stumps out?
it's kinda big
-
pick around stump. pry out. ax when needed
-
and fill the hole up with some clay
-
or dig around it and pour diesel on it, and burn it out. if its real big...
-
Not wild, but some more shots of my local spot...

you should just put a thick chain between the two trees where you have the caution tape. that way you can take it off and put it back on after each session
-
This just makes me miss trails so much. :[
Injuries, and nobody liking my ideas led me to stop building them. Some of these places just makes me happy that others are having fun with trails and being more creative than just single jumps in a line.
-

Ape skate/hanger2!! I miss that place like a loved one, best park ever.

the one that ridemoretrails posted is soo nice! i wanna ride trails

I did yesterday and bailed on the most pathetic jump ever. This is my first summer trying to ride them properly though.

^^ That angle makes that berm/double look even better. It would be so intense to ride that!

woa. Is that a miniature dirtcarrier ?
-
Can with have a picture of some people riding it please?
-
(http://c3.pinkbike.com/photo/2161/pbpic2161655.jpg)
hurts my brain,those things are big yet look soo small.

that thing is a masterpiece. is there any other pictures of that place?

I wish, i want to see da vids.

this is the stuff at my house. going is slow because i'm digging by myself, and this is my first time building jumps. i'm happy with them so far. rebuilt the berm, finished up the lander, and built most of the next launch. the going is slow but steady. 2nd hit is gonna be a right hip i think

Heres my local spot. It's 5 minutes from my house. Built by Jeremy Hrabal (owner of Vclub), myself, and some other kids. It's really tight having him live on my street, haha. On top of the hill to the right is our bowl, it' 100 feet wide, no joke.

Our trails in Anchorage... not super wild, but fun.
-
Super dope view.
-
the area you're building on is amazing, the view is tight and the slope looks real good. best of luck!
-
This thread has really opened up my eyes to what trails can be and inspired me to learn to ride them ( and build - once I live in a place that isn't 100% sand).
-
the area you're building on is amazing, the view is tight and the slope looks real good. best of luck!
Thanks. Two of us built most of that over the past couple years, we've tailed off a bit from being frustrated with tons of people riding them but nobody ever helping to keep them nice. The dirt's kind of weird, but easy to dig; everyone thinks the slope is too steep and you have too much speed, which means it's pretty much perfect in my books....
I didn't even think about the view there... I guess it is a really nice shot in that respect, the whole city is surrounded by mountains like that so I guess we're used to it.
-
simply amazing pic above
id love to live there or at least be rich and have a house there with trails like that
any chance of a higher res pic for wallpaper?

-
holy shit these are amazing, really brings me back to my trail days when there was stuff around, do the people that build these have jobs haha holy shit most of this shit would take years to perfect
-
it takes over lives, no exaggeration. Its really surprising to see what some people are willing to do for their trails.
A friend of mine, who started Minersville trails 10 years ago, calls it (trails, digging) the strongest addiction of his life. serious business
-
haha yeah man, i used to be into that big time when i lived in the middle of nowhere, i was pretty young then and had no job, so i worked that shit all day long

Whats going on with that wood in the second picture.
-
it became a pretty cool shelter/hut kinda thing with corregated iron over the top and seats cut out of the sides. though after a while it began to attract drug users etc. so we ended up taking it down after they started to beat up our trails.
-
we have to rebuild/find a new place to dig :(since are latest spot got plowed. that makes it 2 trails this year:mad:
-
We should try and get some new pictures sometime.

not been up there for about 6-7 year but found these pics on the net . easily contender for best uk trails in the 90s. was a full section with the locals in the dirt video the murray brothers made. pretty sure either murray or forte or someone where on the cover of ride tableing one of the 30ft. someone was anyway. . and the guy saying about all the space... the ground is all shale. the dirt is all took from out the sides

building with sloppy, wet dirt isn't a great idea. it takes forever to dry and you tend to get A LOT of cracks in it when it does finally dry. better off with moist clay and a shovel.

thats got to be top5 best dirt/trails contraption ever, it's almost like a wallride to wallride!!!!

hows has no one posted this?!
Are these the Sunday trails?
IF so, post more of them and tell me how to get there.
-
because of course he'll tell you how to get there. over the internet
-
yep. why wouldn't you someone tell him of perfect trails over the internet?
-
i cant wait to dig this winter. i hate the fact that it always gets almost to summer then we find the trails plowed. :(

My two friends and I found a new spot. I am really stoked to go build there.

ive got 2 spots i will be digging at i guess. one with hyde lot, one with garforth lot, and everyone will likely be crossing over to each.

i hear you man. knowing that lots of digging(and the frustration that comes with it) and hard work will pay off come spring time when you're able to get things ridden in and dialed for summer.
i don't know how some people aren't psyched on trails.

yeah same here...ive only 'discovered' trails this year, and the set we're recovering is a bit shitty but it's so much fun...

I've seen some older footage from those trails with the crazy berm jump, might have been off bmxinfo but can't quite remember. From what I remember the jump didn't look like it worked that well because it kicked the rider too much to the inside.
-
That berm/hip setup is just wild.
-
Well, I didn't know I had more images!
we use to have an indoor that was filled with dirt every winter to build jumps,and the corners of the place were curved wallrides it was pretty rad.

freshly packed stuff tends to get glossy like that.

magik sheen. it's a process that takes years to perfect. it's not very wet either, it's just packed like crazy.

those trails are nice I want to find them on google earth or something

ha, it's okay. i live further than you, and know where they are, and i'm going next time i'm down there
Your going to be disappointed... but tom and eds are running awesome, just hope you know the locals... and that pic is tom and eds not sunday.

This has got to be my favorite thread on BG. I need to find a spot to dig.
We need to redo this thread. Have one thread with nothing but pictures, and a separate one for comments.

i bet those trails have so much flow
-
this is the only thread on BG that matters.
-
i bet those trails have so much flow
How do you measure this.... flow?
-
(1/Amount of pedaling require)^2 * (Smoothness)(1/Need for brake checking)+number of berms=flow
-
(1/Amount of pedaling require)^2 * (Smoothness)(1/Need for brake checking)+number of berms=flow
Your whole theory breaks down when the trails either require no pedaling or brake checking. then flow = number of berms. While we know that flow is proportional to the number of berms, it is in most cases not equal.
-
(1/Amount of pedaling require)^2 * (Smoothness)(1/Need for brake checking)+number of berms=flow
(number of beers)+(number of fires)+(number of paint cans in said fire)=flow AND good times
-
It does need to be revised. Especially since no pedaling or brake checking = 1/0
Smoothness is factored in there, and I meant to add in acceleration as part of the equation.
It should also be (number of berms)/(feet of straightaway)
-
yeah duh you guys dont know the formula for the flow???
yeh forgot the (air in feet over lip) and (space between jumps)
-
Space between jumps is covered by (number of berms)/(feet of straightaway)
I personally don't think that the air really has much to do with flow. Small jumps can be just as flowy as large ones.
-
yeah duh you guys dont know the formula for the flow???
yeh forgot the (air in feet over lip) and (space between jumps)
flow is not related to speed, or air, because a well built set of rollers has more flow than a dew tour 6 pack.
-
Speed no, but I think acceleration or general speed control is a vital part of flow.
Dynamic speed, not static speed.
-
I think a vital part of flow is a downhill slope. you know you have good flow when you can get through a line chainless.
-
in good trails you gain speed going uphill without pedaling
-
(1/Amount of pedaling require+1)^2 * (Smoothness)(1/Need for brake checking+1)(number of berms)(avg feet of air for all jumps)=flow
Revised. Now the pedaling and brake checking can't be undefined.
-
I have a simpler equation
flow = (digging experience x commitment) + imagination
-
Truth^
-
Revised. Now the pedaling and brake checking can't be undefined.
Sorry, but I think amount of air has absolutely nothing to do with flow. A section of rollers can have insane flow.
Haha the commitment, experience, imagination one is good.
-
I cannot wait to get away for the winter so I can ride some trails again.
Pissing me off!

would you say... you are furious?

Good one Einstein. Come back when you build a set of trails uphill and can still ride the let alone gaining speed.
*facepalm*

god. our trails were uncovered from a huge fire that burned all the brush and cactus around it.
not stoked. I need to have a good running trails spot.

they still there? keep shreddin em. i need to start a new spot. it's been cold. it SNOWED yesterday. in nc. in november. my new lip froze. fuck my life
-
Good one Einstein. Come back when you build a set of trails uphill and can still ride the let alone gaining speed.
*facepalm*
I have ridden uphill lines and gained speed. There are more forces at work than gravity alone.
-

I hope so. the fire started in the canyon our trails are. We just start started building them and it was a very promising spot.

been doing a bit of digging
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/brog/trailsberm003.jpg)
i extended it a bit so there was a possibility of a tree ride off another set
-
Is that real?
What is it?
-
a berm
-
i guess it is hard to tell from that angle
-
that is ridiculously big, looks like something at a race track as opposed to trails, awesome! should be tons of fun
-
it used to be a hip that didnt work out. so i made that. thought it was a good idea and i didnt really have to move dirt just move it around
-
i just started buildin some small simple trails a week ago
theyrnt very interestin tho jus little hips and doubles and stepups
-
Prison trails a few years ago, totally different now

-
Good to see this thread is still going.
-
its raining right now. fucking finally
-
Yep, its raining here too. [=
We started digging a new spot last week. We have an awesome downhill berm drop in into a couple rollers, then another downhill berm before a 20ft step up. We got the first berm packed in before things dried up too much but all we could do was pile dirt for the second berm and the double. After todays rain it should all pack in nicely.
-
i guess these spots are in germany.
http://www.241trails.blogspot.com/ (http://www.241trails.blogspot.com/)
i can't be the only one that's totally fascinated by different types of dirt found around the world.
-
WTF? Is that dirt pure clay?
-
WTF? Is that dirt pure clay?
honestly i don't think so. it looks like normal top soil that was packed in when it was waaaayy too wet.
-
The yellow stuff? That doesn't look like topsoil.
-
I'd say its a mixture of clay and sandstone style dirt.
Good dirt.
-
So happy. My trails were not burned by the fire and it rained a bunch. Building shall begin. =]
-
This was from a while ago, they are fairly run-down but it's an awesome spot. There's a line on the right that hits a berm and goes left near the top of the photo. And there is also a line going to the left from the bottom left corner.

where is it lul
So, when working with dirt that is, I don't know... like, 80%+ sand, what is needed to produce adequate trails?
These are just for me, not for the public so just as long as I can flow through them, I will be happy.
Future site of trails:
(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt319/pedalfastbmx/nvcm/DSC_0479.jpg)
Just a large open field. Normally water never gets to where its at, we were irrigating the orchards and filled a pond that borders it a little high, and some water went into the overflow, and into a not-so-defined overgrown ditch in that field that is supposed to direct elsewhere. So, there won't be standing water (and its all be soaked up already) during construction.
-

So, when working with dirt that is, I don't know... like, 80%+ sand, what is needed to produce adequate trails?
-water, lots and lots of water.
-tarps to put on the lips and landings to when you're not riding. this helps to keep in the moisture. they'll be less likely to fall apart if they're not bone dry.
-also, some people who's trails are made of sandy dirt use carpets on their landings to keep them from blowing out.
-patience and understanding is probably the most important thing though. if you're new to building trails you're going to go through a lot of trial and error.

Not really that wild by anyones standards but these are pretty fun, loads of stuff to do. I'm only riding the small ones to the left at the minute as I need to get my confidence up enough to try the big centre line (just getting back into this wheels-off-the-ground thing), I dont get to ride there every day so I'm not building up very quickly :\
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/Western%20Park/CIMG9925.jpg)
Big ones used to be doubles but the council deemed them as unsafe and filled em in. The right line has a hip at the end which will then lead into a berm.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/Western%20Park/CIMG9931.jpg)
Theres a big stepdown that leads into those berms, I havent tried it.
youtube "Western Park jumps" for some vids of the locals, they also show more stuff I didnt take pics of.

^ G forces on that berm must be amazing, looks fun. I've now decided that over the winter I'm building a cross between BMX trails and a DH run. Smooth, fast and downhill.

Those are small, but really fun looking.
I would love to see more helmet cam footage, it would be nice to see what some of the pros could do with a nice stabilized HD helmet cam.

Found a couple of good ones. I don't know where that berm is but it looks insane. And James Brooks with the table.

I went to villij on sunday, it's my favourite place on earth.
I got there, got confused, started riding and couldn't stop feeling so happy.
Such a big thanks to those boys for letting us ride.
Robbo is an animal.
Such a shame they're getting plowed any day now.
Not my vid, you get the idea-

They're on land belonging to a quarry. They don't want them there.
I never actually asked the exact reason why they're getting plowed, just that it's any day now.
Everyday they get riding there, is another gift they're not expecting.
Everything was still getting really well maintained even though ploughing is imminent.
You really have to go there to appreciate how good they are, videos and pictures really doesn't do it justice.

Thats so shit, i feel bad for all the people who put the work in to get them built.
And yeah, pictures never do justice to how good trails are really..

this has to be the best thread on this site
-
that backyard setup is maybe the coolest thing i have seen in this thread. the thought of getting up and riding that for a bit before work or something is amazing.

That fucking backflip is manly as fuck.

They ain't gonna build themselves... winter time is coming, get to it.

Are there any videos of that spot, Tall Pat?
http://vimeo.com/5293886 (http://vimeo.com/5293886)
Assuming you meant east side.
-
I need to find a spot to build, everything around here either has crappy sandy dirt, or its next to a building.
If I understand my geology right, this whole area used to be a river bed, so its nothing but rocks and sand.
-
few things I've been working on.
Didn't build the quarter but it needs more work before its ride able, cant tell from the pics but its about 6 foot tall.
the berm lander thing will have a lip into from the little cliff face to the side of it, ie you'll be jumping over the other run in.
the step down is just after the big step up which you can see in one of the photos, bout 4 foot step down or something.
Pretty much everything that just been built still needs to be cleaned up before they'll be ride able.
Had a bit of storm activity lately so thats why everythings so messy.

those trials look pretty sick....whish i can ride trails ive tried it once and i was too much of a bitch
-
They look rad, great spot too! Is there a water source nearby?
-
The spots not really as good as it looks. The dirts ok in most areas but theres some huge rocky patches to get through in other areas.
Don't really have much of a water source but seem to be able to ride water whenever it's needed.
-
Those look like such fun.
I payed a visit to our old trails from years ago. Sadly they are just lumps of dirt and holes everywhere now.

Yea there is tons of clay but it's all patchy and usually buried under a couple feet of silt and rocks. I might try digging at the spot I had last year and just try and find the clay deposits.

these are in the same place as the bowl ^ many have changed abit but still are massive and really fun to ride, and these still have the lips because rich and max have put chains
accross them so no-one can ride them unless they are there.
-
Widened these two jumps so I can get into this new lip I've started.
-
that berm wall is legit as fuck
-
My trails are gonna get worked over the winter.
Everythings getting bigger.
-
All trails in there are very cool and it makes me more inventive and motivated for my first trail project! I'm making a dirt volcano and some sort of hip. How do you make the wooden "coping" stay in the top of the volcano?

Maybe it's because I live in the Midwest, but there's maybe two months during the summer where I might get one of those not to flood.
But it's doubtful.

After a week of telling people how awesome it would be to have an S-Turn going around the backside of this double and then gapping from that into the next berm, only to have them insist it would never work I went ahead and built it. After some fine tuning of the landing it works great and you can carry good speed into the next berm. No one else wants to hit it though /=
-
I had a dream about this the other day.. Strange.It would be rad to have a downhill run comprised of such burms, doubles, and rollers... Albeit, scary as balls.
-
I wish I grew up riding trails.
-
The line is slightly downhill as is, you come into that turn flying. Then first 2 jumps are left hand hips, then a big downhill into that berm section. Probably going to go into a double, into another berm, a left hand hip, and some more berm craziness after that.
This (http://www.bikeguide.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3186269#post3186269) is the hip that leads into that s-berm.

the old trails i dug at in colorado had this exact same setup. same direction turns and everything. the gap was about 13 feet or so. left hand berm into right hand berm. only it went over a pit of shitwater. and more than a few people ended up waist deep in that hole. but if you got the carve into it perfect it was the funnest jump at the trails.
-
The gap on ours is maybe 6 feet, really easy to clear. I had to make the berm rollable too because everyone was bitching about the gap, no one even wants to try it even though its super easy.
-
still months away from our short trails season here :( fucking snow.

i love weird lines like that. id session that over probably any other line at the trails on a daily basis.

I wish I grew up riding trails.
Maybe you should have got off your fat ass and built some then.
Don't even mention weather/people to build with/type of soil or any other crap. I live in England. You have no excuse.
I'm not having a go because "it's fun to have a go at Bitzer", if anyone said that they would get the same response.
I fucking hate anyone that moans about not having trails.

you live in england. so? youve got some of the best trails in existance in your country. multiple ones at that.
come live in the desert. where it rains less that 2 inches a year. the soil is sand with very few areas of clay. we have no creeks or ponds to bucket water out of to even maintain things once built.
you wanna know how long our trail season lasts? the week after it rains. thats pretty much it. unless youre lucky enough to find a spot to dig at where you can find some sort of water access which damn near never happen around these parts.
sorry to blow up on you. but your post calling someone out for being lazy/moaning about not having trails. not everyone has it as lucky as you do. id kill to live in england and have the trails you can ride whenever you want.
-

Digging by yourself is boring.
-
I agree.
This new spot got blown up within days, its actually at a busy intersection and visible from the road; however we have permission from the land owner which makes up for it. Its really motivating having 10+ people digging at a time, we actually have people fighting over shovels at times because there are more diggers than shovels.

that is a good problem to have.

I'd definitely have too many diggers than too many empty shovels. It rocks.

Pretty sure Bitzer doesnt live in the desert. Obviously there are exeptions where you literally cant dig trails.
Kinchy is moaning about people who live in perfectly good area's to build but who are just too lazy to do anything.

Other people finally manned up to hit the berm gap.

Some idiot also cut out the tree, so now I am going to build that roller up bigger and make so you have to jump the gap.

I couldnt get the pictures to work either, but they do look good those trails. I feel bad for not digging for the past couple of weeks but theres been shit loads of snow. Cant wait to get back on it.

I'd have to ride alone as well though, since none of my mates are into bikes. Home-made trails don't seem that much fun by yourself.

i guess mine weremore dirtjumps then trails though
we had a sweet berm coming down the hill on plywood that went over the culvert though

seriously. go make your own spot or start digging and get to know people, stop asking on the internet.

These are not my trails. My trails got flattened by shitty kids the other day so i've sacked them off and have gone back to digging at these.
It's just a walk through video as they're all getting sorted for summer, so excuse some scruffy take offs and landings they'll be sorted before everything's rideable.
It is 3 minutes long and shot on an iphone, so don't expect a fucking masterpiece of cinema here.
Trails 4 lyfe or something like that.

You're a fucking moron.
I didn't moan ONCE about not having trails you thick fuck.
Look at Chase Hawk. He GREW UP riding trails. People that rock the shit out of trails, grew up riding trails. They didn't grow up riding street, or riding shitty pre-fab parks. I've ridden trails, I just wish I was better at them. People that grow up an ride nothing but trails is awesome. I'm saying I wish thats what I was introduced to when I was little and I first started riding.
I'm saying that I wish the scene I grew up riding was a trails scene. I wish everyone here was into trails, and I wish everyone that got me into riding always rode trails. I think riding and digging trails is some of the most fun you can have on a bike.
I've tried digging at my local spot. No one ever takes it seriously. Usually I'm one that wants to dig, and carve a perfect lip.
Your just such a prick for no reason. You took one little thing I said out of context.
Fuck off.

wish in one hand, shit in the other. see which one fills up first. maybe i'm misunderstanding something but it seems like you're complaining about not having a trail scene handed to you on a silver platter as soon as you took an interest in bmx? so what? i started out riding street and but i much prefer trails. i dig alone because it's worth it to me to have trails to ride.
just because all of the other people you ride with don't care for trails doesn't mean you have to give up. it's their loss.
-
We really need to get digging round here. Slightly worrying digging in woods without permission and finding new shotgun cartridges around each time we went up though... (Maybe not in the US, but it is in the UK)

Man, you guys are dense.
I'm not asking for trails to be handed to me. I just wish when me, and most of my friends got into bmx, we were more into trails. I wish I grew up building, riding, and respecting trails, and the trails scene in general. Since I'd have a much greater apprecation for them instead of looking at how fun something would be to hit.
I mean sure I appreciate the hardwork and effort, but I'm pretty sure theirs more than 1 or 2 people out their that wish they had trails, but don't dig alone.
I've helped build trails, and I've ridden trails. I would have just preferred riding and building trails since I started riding, instead of starting at a older age.
Christ.

Regret is the word you are looking for.

Yeah, looks like you've really done a lot to change that as well. Dig for the winter, ride for the summer. Trails don't take too long to adapt to, and you don;'t have to be chase hawk to have fun riding them.

that landing isnt that mellow just the way the camera is tilted. it also goes directly into a drop roller on the bottom of it, into a deeper section into a large kicker.

yep.

so good this thread keeps giving me so much ideas for my new trails,now only if i can find a good location.

The dirt coaster looks awesome. Such a fun looking line.
I grew up riding trails. I lived out in the country outside a small town. No street to speak of and the closest park was hours away. Park wasn't even that big back then as I remember. There were only two of us that rode in my hometown. We were best friends. Sooooo we started with pit jumps when I was 14 or so. We had crazy transfer lines int hose which may sound weird. By the next year the pit jumps led to a step up and above ground trails. The best part was that they were in my friends parents side yard. When I went in the military and he moved out the parents plowed them. I am going to try and find some pictures of them. I also have some pictures of some old trails in Albany Ga that I used to ride. I will try to find those as well. Sorry for the life story haha!

so sick! wish I had some trails where I live.
Way back when I was young I would build little jumps and take off on those, I was small so like 1 ft of air was like 20 ft to me back then.
takes me way back ahaha.

Well, we've made a start and things are coming along very nicely. We've got a tight crew this year and the previous building issue (i.e. most of the locals going to uni and not being around half the time) has been resolved, got some more people involved. These guys are pushing everything as well, stuffs going to be bigger...
Kicker to "slug" berm thing. Its going to be a couple of foot higher and linked with the landing on the left...
(http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab151/oaf19/P3281342.jpg)
Hip after the slug. Turned out bigger than we anticipated, hence the slug needing to be higher. Bikeguides very own Sketchy Luke providing a scale reference.

Nice. I've been looking for a spot to make a few little jumps but so far can't find anywhere thats not gonna be found by the farmers and get torn down straight away.

Very nice Allah.
Trails to be dug tomorrow. Pics soon.

Yeah we're very lucky, years ago some of the guys managed to get permission to build in this field owned by a really chill rich guy- it essentially backs on to his garden, hes planted a bunch of trees there. Such a good bloke, think hes pleased to see the yoof doing something productive.

Yo Allah i'm coming to your trails in the summer!

A small snippet from last year. Obviously things are a little different after winters digging.

Just wanted to contribute with my spot, fingers crossed, riding this weekend, the anticipation is eating me up. I'm more worked up than I was at christmas.
-
FBM, your trails look way too fun.

This isn't a wild trail set-up but thought this would be the best place to ask. Has anyone seen any good videos lately? Deluxe? Derelict? Prettyshady? And news on building the underground 2 or anything like that? Cheers.
-
Have you seen that recent Darin Read diamondback edit? It's pretty rad.

Deluxe just released a video which I imagine is pretty entertaining.
Anthem II is supposed to come out later this year, can't wait.

Found some trails over the weekend. Managed to knock the wind out of myself in the first 10 minutes I was there. No brakes and a low berm = instant death. I'm looking to find some more, as I ran into some other guys around town the other day and they said there are some that are running about 10 miles away from my house. Ideally I'd like to get my own up and running... There's tons of room to do so around here, but I don't have the time to get them up alone, and I don't really ride with anyone so it makes it pretty difficult. F my A.
-
"meh" trails are in progress i'll post picture later.

So we stumbled across some jumps the other day. No idea who built them.
They have 2 lines, and both start on top of this hill, and neither require any pedaling.
One line has this cool off camber step down drop in. Its like dropping into a quarter off a sub box. Really fun.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0143.jpg)
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_6807.jpg)
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_5249.jpg)
Then it just goes into a double, and a lip that isn't finished.
The other lines starts off with this cool pump track. You go around 2 berms and 2 rollers, then his this s-turn jump.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0073.jpg)
After that its another berm, a roller, and this little step down.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3658.jpg)
After the step down, things get fun, you land down this huge hill and just get cooking.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0148.jpg)
First jump is a 20ft long and low, intimidating but that hill puts you right over it.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1272.jpg)
After that its 3 poppy doubles that are super fun.
(http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/egggit/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_8930.jpg)
There is is also another long and low right between two doubles and its super tight. If it catches you off guard you are fucked.

Wait, you found these jumps, have NO idea who built them, then have the nerve to ride them?
Wow.

^Why not? Its not like they were making a mess of them.

why the hell shouldnt he ? aslong as he is careful and repairs any damage then whats the big deal ?
do you ask the owner of every street spot if you can ride it ?
-

A street spot isn't ment to be ridden on a bike. Riders didn't put in hours of shovel time to a bank, or a set of stairs with a rail on the side.
It might be a little different if they knew who's trails they were, but they had no idea who built them.
-
i have to agree with zach. its gutting to go down the trails one day and find people are/ have been riding them.
although my experience of this is limited to scallies. not actual bmx'ers with respect for other peoples things
-
..
-
Wow guys, it's people like you that make trails awful.
Those ruts were there, the dirt is so hard packed it's like cement and nothing will fuck it up. Even if I did manage to mess something up I would fix it, and when I do meet the owners I am going to congradulate them and offer up some help.

If trails are awful, and you can't respect someones hard work, don't ride them.
Dah end.
-

Dah end.
What about someones business that they most likely worked hard to acquire, and have to pay for property repair cause your messing up a rail or wall there. Unless somebody owns the land their trails are on, then it doesn't really matter, yeah it sucks but its not yours to say someone else can't ride.
-
if there was noone around, and you were careful and didnt fuck it up i dont see why its a problem having a ride of them.
obviously it would be less awkward if you knew the guys who made em, but you can make some inquiries and try to get in touch with the people who built them before you go down again.
i can understand that some people dont want anyone else having fun who didnt put the work in, but at the same time would you rather some other bmxers stumble upon your trails and be stoked on how good they are, or some mx riders tearing the place to bits?
respect works both ways
-
Bens got it in perspective.
If you don't want people to ride your jumps, chain them up, and make sure they aren't visable on google maps.
It's not like we were being disrespectful in any way. I have been the "owner" of many jumps and I always welcome anyone with respect.
-
i have to agree with the people who say it's a dick move to ride other peoples trails without knowing the locals or having their consent.
let's put this into perspective.......
Q: how many of you would be cool with a complete stranger picking up your bike(that you worked hard for and paid for with your own money) while you're not around and taking it for a joy ride without your knowledge or permission? it's ok though right? because they like your bike and are having fun on it. if your wheel is already a little bent then under rotating a bunch of 360's can't hurt because, hey, the wheel was like that when they found your bike.
A: absolutely none of you would be fine with someone treating your personal property like a cheap whore.
you guys should have respected the those guys' work and left a note or came back later to meet the locals before you took advantage of their hard work.
-

i'd rather nobody found a spot i was trying to keep on the down low.
-
yeah it sucks but its not yours to say someone else can't ride.
I hate to say it but I totally agree with not riding if you don't know the dudes. But doing work out there without knowing the dudes would be 100x worse, people do it all the time but it really is mad disrespectful to do. I wish I could be cool with it but whenever anyone comes out to our trails that we don't know I hate it, especially because I can ALWAYS tell, if you rode them I guarantee any true trail builder will know it. And the above quote is the fucking worst possible thing to say in this situation, and if you ever said anything like that at some trails when the trails boss is there you are in for some shit
-
How so?
-
well if someone puts hours upon hours of dirt slinging into a set of trails, they would get pissed at the fact that you would be disrespecting the trails they worked so hard on. Generally its just a dick thing to say, purely trails etiquette, which we should have a thread for actually
-
That bullshit comes with trails.
But, to go after another rider, or become angry with them for doing the same thing you are doing, just shows that you suck for bmx. Its not like Eggit and his gang were little 12 year old kids clipping every jump, or destroying the place.
-

It doesn't matter. Sure, people getting shitty for non-locals riding there jumps is kinda lame, but in a way, it's nature. Territory comes with anything.
It doesn't matter if your there trying to have fun. Like I said, I could give a shit less if someone I KNEW came to our jumps, sprayed them down, or packed some dirt for a lousy 5 minutes. Let them ride all day long.
But if I came to my trails, and it was filled with strangers I've never seen or met before, in my life, I'd be fucking livid. So would half the people trying to defend there argument.
Except for maybe eggit2, since he's the coolest of the cool bmx wise.

The difference being is that trails are always a community effort, its not something that is privately owned. (except in rare cases)
Every set of trails I have built, I look at it like a community service endeavor. There is no way you can keep a public place private, and its always going to blow up. Just be respectful and others will respect you in turn.
I bet you guys act like a bouncer at a club, grilling every new face with 20 questions and judging them before they even give you a chance to show you their character. When a new face rolls up to one of my spots I greet them casually, let them know any of the rules if there are any, and tell them to fix anything they break.
Numerous times I have shown up to my own trails to see a new face there, barring the little disrespectful kids that turn every jump into a table top it has never been a problem. BMX is a community and a brotherhood, as far as I am concerned, anyone on a BMX bike is a friend until proven otherwise.
-
I'm sorry dude, but your a fuck
EDIT: to heykid matt
EDITedit: to eggit: Not all trails are a community effort at all, my local trails are run for the most part by 3 people. People come out and ride all the time and everyone is fine with it, It just really sucks when a lip gets completely redone and needs to dry or be packed in more and then people you don't even know come and ride it while your gone. Its just not cool to do
-
So you agree then.
You yourself said its cool when others come out and ride as long as nothing gets messed up. And even if its not a community effort its still a a project for the community. The last thing I want to do is build trails by myself and never share with them anyone, there is no fun in that. The more people that my work brings the better, so long as they are respectful.

yeah but you openly admitted that you have know clue which community of riders built those trails. you aren't included in that specific community and you put no effort forth in building said trails. just because you're cool with random heroes blowing up your spot doesn't mean this group of guys feel the same way.
if i know someone well enough and trust their judgment, they're allowed to bring whoever they want to the trails whether or not i know them. i dig alone and have no help so when a stranger takes it upon themselves to ride my hard work without putting in any shovel time i get upset.
if bmx was such a brotherhood, nobody should have to lock up their trails to keep them safe and protected from guys that blowout lips and skid around berms and then not have the common courtesy to fix it. now, i'm not saying you're like that but that's the only experience i have with strangers coming to my spot.
-
I still agree with Eggit but as I've never built trails from scratch (just helped the guys at my local (which was initially council-built) move stuff around) I probably can't have a proper opinion on it. So long as people were having a good time and not ruining them/littering, then I really don't see a problem.
-
I'm perfectly fine with strangers coming to the trails, on a dry day, whilst being glass smooth, not casing, putting down some magic clay and doing some watering. Basically doing the same as the locals.
If they live locally, not lent a hand over winter, come down a couple times, i'm fine with that. If they live locally and come down all the time, i tell them to clear off.
I'm not cool with people coming down on a wet day, just expecting to ride, no offer to dig or do anything, then progress onto riding even though it's too wet and tearing up the top surface.
It's normally only kids that can be a bit reckless, they don't seem to have the common sense to see if something they're doing is ruining something. That or don't care.
Forgot about litter, it's not hard to take it home with you. that's one thing land owners/councils/busy bodies will pick up on.
I would have been fine with someone like eggit riding them, in those conditions.
However, i do think builders do have the right to be against it if they so wish.

Everybody banned from my trails.
I ride on my own.

of course.
yet in the eventuality that some riders do happen to discover them by accident would your first instinct be to run at them with a shovel braveheart style telling them to fuck off your jumps?
if other people riding them became a concern you could use strategically placed chains to limit their use. id be talking to the visiting riders first though to see if theyre safe or not, and likewise if i was visiting trails that werent mine and the locals turned up, id be introducing myself and explaining how we found them by accident, complementing the builders on the effort put in and how good they are etc.
you never know, those random guys you find riding your jumps one day could end up becoming good friends with you, they could end up helping out with digging, they might have their own trails and invite you to ride and so on.
there are still other riders out there with good intentions, just saying

wood block knows whats up, it happens with our trails about every 2 to 3 weeks we catch them and tell em not to come back there was also a been a repeat offender messing alot of shit up like lips and landings, one of our buddies tacoed his rim and said if he were to come back we'd creek him(theres a creek right next to our trails). trails love nothing else like it.

Ha I wasn't making any argument. My opinions are very much mixed. I think having an open, friendly spot can be very beneficial, but have definitely been frustrated by the fair weather folk in the past- we're actually chaining up this year...there are arguments on both sides, each situation is subtly different- land ownership, location, amount of motox chav shits around etc all play a part.
I just want less chat and more awesomeness!
-
with as much time as i have spent with a shovel in my hand slinging dirt i learned one very important lesson. be a dick and yer shit gets fucked with!!!
you idiots have no clue and are everything that is wrong with bmx anymore..................................if you own the land fine do what you want, but if you dont then fuck you i will ride if i want to! you same fuckheads have no issue barging places skaters built or grinding ledges and rails that you didnt build! get real
-
Pretty sure Carrot fvcker just summed it up perfectly. Juzz sayin
-
Sounds like most of you haven't spent a whole winter digging while everyone else is down the park or riding street, only to suddenly be Mr Popular once spring comes and the trails are all dried out.
If it's not your spot, don't ride. Simple. Have a look round, leave a not with your number/email on asking them to get back to you whether or not you can ride. Also, put if no one responds you will assume that no one is digging at the spot. That way, the builders won't ignore you and will let you know either way.
Seriously, I don't spend hours and hours of work at the trails just to piss my girlfriend off. And I sure as fuck don't do it so that you guys can spend your winter at the park and still have some trails in the summer. Meet people, say hi, ask to ride, and more importantly, ask to HELP.
It's called fucking manners. Anyone saying that trails are awful or whatever only thinks that because they don't have manners. In know this, because when I was younger I used to do it and I'm pretty sure people hated me for it. Then I started chatting, being friendly, and helping to dig, and then people were nice. How strange!
-
if ive built a spot and non-locals turn up and want to ride once in a while, as long as they dont litter/are not cocks i dont have a problem with that. im not gonna make them pick up a shovel and do a bit of work just to make some token gesture, nor am i going to make them fix anything they break- they didnt do it on purpose (and theyll probably fix it wrong anyway)
however when i arrive at a spot, i dont expect everyone to have the same attitude as me.
I spent a whole winter in the woods making some trails once, me and one other guy. come summer there were about 15 people (mostly young kids) who would frequent the spot. seeing as we built them in the most obvious place ever there wasnt really much we could do about it (we did demolish the small line which got rid of a few of them) but its these lazy shits that can GTFO.
-
But if I came to my trails, and it was filled with strangers I've never seen or met before, in my life, I'd be fucking livid. So would half the people trying to defend there argument.
.
yea and thats probably why no one helps you build . because your a knob who judges people before you even speak to them. in fact i bet you dont even speak to them and you just stand there looking pissed off. maybe angrily go pack down a take off next to where hes stood after 20 mins of mumbling to yourself
if someone like eggit has only just stumbled across your trails then how do you expect him to be building them ? are you like this to all newcomers ? maybe you should get some private land then
im pretty sure if you had a word or if you didnt treat him like shit then he would have no problem helping out. just like im sure he would of fixed any damage. he might even of had his own trails he could tell you about. but how the fuck is he supposed to help build once they are already built or once you are being an ass to him? the only way he can help is by finding out who builds them but that aint going to happen if your turning up there all angry at him
carrotfvcker knows the score !
trails etiquette here was always a simple ''fix anything you break'' ''help build if people are building'' and there was never any problems. being an ass just makes people be an ass back

-
Firstly eggit2 I reckon you're really lucky - the trails looks great fun to ride and have clearly been constructed with many hours of loving care, props to the diggers.
Now I'm a digger too, and have been the main, but by no means only, at our trails for approx 10 years. In that time I've met people who hold every opinion I've seen voiced here from welcoming trail hippie to ardent trail Nazi. Our situation is slightly different to most - our trails are council sanctioned and in a public park which means having a diggers only policy just isn't on the cards and personally I wouldn't want it even if it was. However that doesn't mean that I think its completely open season on who gets to use the trails - in the same way I get annoyed if the bmx kids go and trash the adjacent football pitches I won't stand by and let wanton trail destruction occur at the hands of scooter riders/small children who think they're climbing frames/riders with no manners. The argument that just because other people don't ask to ride street spots means you shouldn't show respect to trail builders just doesn't hold up - two wrongs and all that??
Anyway the point is from the look of those pictures that spot is nowhere too public, now obviously I could be wrong about that and fair do's if I am, but personally I would be more than happy for respectful trail riders to ride on the basis that they had the means and ability to fix what they broke. Actually what is slightly less righteous to my mind is then taking photos and posting them on a very well known website. For anyone who is doing there best to keep their trails on the down low the worst thing you can do is advertise their presence here. You might argue you can't tell where they are from the pics but believe me the minute pictures get out people ask questions: they know where you're from, they realise its an old spot they used to ride years back, some little kid pipes up they know where they are etc etc and before you know it your nice little project that had escaped the radar is no longer hush hush. That wouldn't matter nearly so much if along with the influx of riders and hangers on and rubbish, it didn't attract attention from councils and landowners and busybodies all of whom are liable to have your years of hard work flattened as soon as look at them.
As an aside I always try to be welcoming to new comers, old or young, bmx or mtb and know that for every 50 I meet that come and have fun and ride on the dusty sunny days when all's to be done is water, sweep and ride, I'll get one who will be keeping me company on wet, cold February weekends when the real work gets done. As others have pointed out ettiqutte is just manners and common sense - if you arrive at someone else's trails, however public, and the locals are digging go and offer a hand. If you aren't local I certainly wouldn't expect you to give up your whole day but just show willing. It has to be said its the ones that grate are the locals that ride more than I do in the summer but somehow just don't have any free time in the winter, not because they're busy on their own set that I know I have an open invitation to at any time, but because they're sessioning the skatepark in every gap in the showers and the Playstation in between. But c'est la vie.
That's my two penn'orth – well actually a darn sight more but I should be working and this was a welcome distraction – apologies for the essay!
-
..... Did you really sign into an anonymous account to make that post?
Anyways, I have been doing a bit of research on those jumps, I have a pretty good idea of who the kids are, ad if its them they were riding our trails a lot through the winter if that evens anything out.
I do see what you are saying about the pictures, but the spot can easily be seen from google Earth.
-
Just because they can be seen from google earth doesn't mean shit. It means you sat looking for trails on google earth that weren't yours and then proceeded to ride them. I can find tons of uk trails via google earth, it doesn't mean i'd ever have the audacity to just turn up to them and ride.
What you should of done is leave a note at the trails with your phone number and not ridden them.
You definitely should not have taken pictures and posted them on the internet without the builders permission though.
I've built a lot of trails and had the pleasure of being invited to others trails to ride, that's how trails should be. You should never ever just turn up at a set of expect to ride, especially if no one is there and especially not post pictures of the trails you found on a relatively large bmx forum.
Sorry eggit but you can argue all you want but in this case you are slightly out of line.
-
He is far from out of line.......... You guys are from the UK where if you left a note somebody would ring you up and say come on down and join us. The US is a much different place, hell last spring I had to rebuild the same jumps five times because of shitty kids. Anybody who thinks they can control a plot of land they don't own is a fool. I have been riding and digging longer than most of you kids have been alive, and have seen shit come and go. If you are lucky enough to have a spot to dig at and ride good for you. Having a shitty attitude gets you nowhere........you polite fuckers accross the pond don't fully grasp how shitty people in America can really be...........we had somebody cut down the trees the chains were wrapped to so they could ride!!! Just having dudes show up and ride and not fuck anything up would be welcomed

This makes more sense now then, I guess our riding scene is generally a lot smaller still.
But we still work on the idea of you have to give respect to receive respect.
-
He is far from out of line.......... You guys are from the UK where if you left a note somebody would ring you up and say come on down and join us. The US is a much different place, hell last spring I had to rebuild the same jumps five times because of shitty kids. Anybody who thinks they can control a plot of land they don't own is a fool. I have been riding and digging longer than most of you kids have been alive, and have seen shit come and go. If you are lucky enough to have a spot to dig at and ride good for you. Having a shitty attitude gets you nowhere........you polite fuckers accross the pond don't fully grasp how shitty people in America can really be...........we had somebody cut down the trees the chains were wrapped to so they could ride!!! Just having dudes show up and ride and not fuck anything up would be welcomed
You'd think being older and digging longer than us "kids" you could at least knock a good argument together that doesn't contradict itself constantly.
So you say people are shitty then say he's not out of line for riding a set that isn't his?
Manners and politeness count for everything. How hard is it to leave a note but not ride? You think it's better to just ride and fuck off and not leave a note?
Seriously, you're a prick. You completely missed the point of any argument then went off on one about things not even really related to what was being mentioned.
I think you'll find we also fully understand how shit people are and people like Eggit are shit people, same as the little kids who turn up and ruin everything, the dog walkers who put fishing line across trails, the walkers who break glass bottles in lines. But yeah you have it so much worse don't you petal?
Just because you don't mind random guys turning up and riding your trails doesn't mean everyone else should. Trails take time and patience to build, so why the fuck should anyone just turn up and ride even if they are on public property?
Get some manners and etiquette and you'll be welcomed. Turn up, ride and then posting pictures of the trails you found on a bmx website is a dick move no matter what you try and say with your abundance of bad punctuation and addiction to elipses.
-
Also, if that's the case in the US, maybe I should move over so I can spend my winter getting drunk, and then turn up at your trails on the first day of spring with a BBQ and enough meat for myself only, ride all day, take photos, and then turn up next time and everything will be fixed for me?
Didn't think so.

The builders have been making some more stuff up western park in Leicester. Still not very wild though, haha. Dunno what the situation is with digging as I think its council owned/ran but I reckon I should help out soon as the most I do is pick up litter.

They cleared the small centre line started to extend the berm at the end of the main set of tables. Looks like the new berm will lead into another set of tables or hopefully doubles (if the council allow it).

Bit of a random idea but could work, but probably won't.
In the summer maybe start up a little bikeguide trail swap type thing?
Would be well up for this.
Pump track looks cool, nice to see the council are doing at least something.
-
How am I wrong? Oh yeah because I am not so arrogant to think I can just take a plot of land I don't own and make it mine! My point is and was simply that getting pissed does no fucking good, kids will just show up when you leave and trash stuff. I am glad that in the UK you could leave a note and somebody would reply. You do that here and next thing you know kids are posting your phone number in gay chatrooms or some shit. And my age doesn't make me any better than anybody else, just means I very well might have dealt with this shit long enough to know what works and what doesn't. I could really care less if you or anybody else likes my opinion, I will still be in the woods digging by myself if that's what it takes!
-
..
-
It's not about arrogance. Arrogance doesn't even come into it apart from maybe your arrogant condescending posts.
It is about MANNERS, RESPECT and COMMON fucking Courtesy.
If you treated the kid properly maybe they wouldn't show up and trash your trails huh?
Oh and i'm sure that the "kids" (firstly barely any kids run sets of trails so shows what you know) Would definitely read a note saying "thought you trails were ace, if you'd like a hand digging phone this number" And think i know, the first thing i'll do is instead of getting this lad to help like he wants to which means i won't have to do as much work, i'll but this number on gay chat rooms and the likes. Sorry mate but that's just what you'd obviously do.
Gamlin's also bang on.

That would be great if everybody thought that way. Hell I wish it worked that way, the world would be a much better place. It just sucks that some people will dig and others wouldn't if you put a gun to thier head. I am just happy to have a place to dig and ride. After having so many places plowed I will deal with the shit just to be able to ride. And feel free if you ever come to the US, hit me up for directions to the trails. I will bring the beer
-
Hit me up for directions and you can come to my trails.
Turn up, ride, take photos and leave without even so much as a recognition of who might be putting work in down there, and you won't be welcome.
-
Shut up. This is the stupid attitude that needs to be cut out. Because its what all the clueless kids think. When they stumble upon some trails: "doesn't matter man its not like its their land, they are just dicks with bad attitude".
When in reality it actually is THEIR private land they chipped in and work hard for, or spent THEIR time winning the landowners respect, then THEIR trails are ruined, all because of the bullshit attitude YOU have.
Again things are far different here than over there. Kids here don't get permission to dig they just go do it. Which is why trails get plowed so much. If you have permission or it's YOUR land so be it that's a different ballgame. I know guys who have bought land just so they didn't have to deal with bullshit. I however found a spot in some woods with a couple guys and started digging. Later the land owner found them and told us as long as we kept it mellow and clean we could be there. We got lucky this time. I understand getting pissed about dudes just showing up and riding pissing you off but where does that get you? If somebody shows up to the trails and rides and doesn't fuck anything up kool, if they do fuck stuff up I will say something. Until somebody disrespects me shit is cool. I don't dig for them, I dig so I can ride
-
As a rider I don't ride unless I've had a chat, and even then I feel very guilty riding without having done some work.
As a builder I don't mind people riding when some of us are about, if people are willing to fix stuff they break, pick their litter up and are decent guys. Hopefully prepared to dig a bit as well. We had some kids come over Easter who asked me and my mate "whether they were ready yet"!!! whilst we were digging. No mate, fuck off- but even then we didn't get aggro, bad attitudes equals stuff being trashed. We're chaining them this year though, mainly because its on private land so we don't want people getting hurt and sueing etc going on. Luckily the village doesn't have a train station so its pretty difficult for people to get out to them if they can't drive (and if you're old enough to drive and still riding you generally have a reasonable attitude, in my experience).
I'm always up for riding with new people though, after a few years where sessions have only consisted of two or three of us its difficult to remain too militant. And for the few people who do make it out to ride its just a one off thing- but if we had people every weekend who hadn't done any digging that would wind me up no end.
-
Firstly eggit2 I reckon you're really lucky - the trails looks great fun to ride and have clearly been constructed with many hours of loving care, props to the diggers.
Now I'm a digger too, and have been the main, but by no means only, at our trails for approx 10 years. In that time I've met people who hold every opinion I've seen voiced here from welcoming trail hippie to ardent trail Nazi. Our situation is slightly different to most - our trails are council sanctioned and in a public park which means having a diggers only policy just isn't on the cards and personally I wouldn't want it even if it was. However that doesn't mean that I think its completely open season on who gets to use the trails - in the same way I get annoyed if the bmx kids go and trash the adjacent football pitches I won't stand by and let wanton trail destruction occur at the hands of scooter riders/small children who think they're climbing frames/riders with no manners. The argument that just because other people don't ask to ride street spots means you shouldn't show respect to trail builders just doesn't hold up - two wrongs and all that??
Anyway the point is from the look of those pictures that spot is nowhere too public, now obviously I could be wrong about that and fair do's if I am, but personally I would be more than happy for respectful trail riders to ride on the basis that they had the means and ability to fix what they broke. Actually what is slightly less righteous to my mind is then taking photos and posting them on a very well known website. For anyone who is doing there best to keep their trails on the down low the worst thing you can do is advertise their presence here. You might argue you can't tell where they are from the pics but believe me the minute pictures get out people ask questions: they know where you're from, they realise its an old spot they used to ride years back, some little kid pipes up they know where they are etc etc and before you know it your nice little project that had escaped the radar is no longer hush hush. That wouldn't matter nearly so much if along with the influx of riders and hangers on and rubbish, it didn't attract attention from councils and landowners and busybodies all of whom are liable to have your years of hard work flattened as soon as look at them.
As an aside I always try to be welcoming to new comers, old or young, bmx or mtb and know that for every 50 I meet that come and have fun and ride on the dusty sunny days when all's to be done is water, sweep and ride, I'll get one who will be keeping me company on wet, cold February weekends when the real work gets done. As others have pointed out ettiqutte is just manners and common sense - if you arrive at someone else's trails, however public, and the locals are digging go and offer a hand. If you aren't local I certainly wouldn't expect you to give up your whole day but just show willing. It has to be said its the ones that grate are the locals that ride more than I do in the summer but somehow just don't have any free time in the winter, not because they're busy on their own set that I know I have an open invitation to at any time, but because they're sessioning the skatepark in every gap in the showers and the Playstation in between. But c'est la vie.
That's my two penn'orth – well actually a darn sight more but I should be working and this was a welcome distraction – apologies for the essay!
I agree whole heartedly......... I never said he should have posted pix or anything like that. But for people to throw a fit about him riding is where I find it insane. If half yhe guys on here complaining were somehow to find themselves in Pittsburgh for a day and stumbled on trails with nobody there would they just leave a note? I doubt it, they would just ride and if dudes showed up they would hopefully be polite and thank whoever it was for the work they did and offer to let them come ride where they have trails at.
-
Yes i would leave a note and yes i have left notes before. I wouldn't dream of riding someone's trails without anyone there, it's disrespectful, simple as that.
It's obviously not far from him and he obviously looked on google earth to find them and then posted pictures of said trails. This is mostly the problem but all he had to do was leave without riding and come back another day when someone might have been there.
It's not difficult to walk away from a trails spot without riding is it? Same as it's pretty easy not to post pictures on a bmx website of someone else's trails without their permission.
We aren't all miserable shit bags in the uk, we just understand how much work goes into a set and therefore we have respect for those who took the time to build them.
-
The one thing for sure is you guys are without a doubt more polite over there. It sucks but in the US as a whole we are pretty fucking rude. I have nothing but respect for anybody who puts time in digging, it ain't easy and it sure as hell isn't the funnest thing to spend time doing. Thank god my wife understands it!
-
Don't get me wrong, little kids, chavs and the likes still ride trails without any regard for who built them but generally (well here anyways) as long as you're okay with them, explain the situation and not be a prick, they'll be okay and generally leave your trails alone.
Little kids will always be shit bags but older riders should know better.
You have a bloody good misses as well to understand you spending time digging in the woods.
-
Yes i would leave a note and yes i have left notes before. I wouldn't dream of riding someone's trails without anyone there, it's disrespectful, simple as that.
if they water lips and landings and sweep and patch up some stuff, where's the harm? i ran a set of trails by myself, and i don't have any qualms with people coming to ride, so long as they tidy up a bit. if they do work, who's to even know someone was riding unless they were there? certainly a trails god like you must have surveillance installed at your jumps, to keep detailed records of visitors. if you ride someone's jumps you don't know, leave them looking as good or better than when you got there, simple as that. leave them a note saying you rode and cleaned up, with your number or something. anyone who gets mad about that can suck a fat dick because you're just a worthless cunt then.
-
Looks like it's completely different in the US than UK then, let's leave it at that.

course it is. from my observations chavs seem to permeate all the areas you don't want them to be, such as trails. in the US, all the hoodlums hooligans and troublemakers stick to not going into the woods, can't get their shoes dirty.

Hey, you're what 16? I bet you've ran tons of trails and had tons of interactions with people coming to your spot in that time huh?
Also, i'd be pretty pissed if people messed about with my lips and landings whilst i wasn't there.
Trails god? I suggest you learn to read, i simple stated my opinion, pretty much like you're stating yours. Does that make you a trails god? No, you're just someone who posts pictures on the net so you can hear people big you up like the little kid you are.
Now fuck off kid, i don't like you and your contribution to this thread is pretty worthless and a bit late considering we'd all already had this discussion without your obviously enlightened opinion and agreed to disagree on the subject.

Don't bring mtbers into this ;)
Okay, i should say he looks 13, any better? Anyways kids a dick, that's all i was pointing out really
I've had around 10 spots ruined over my course of riding trails and dug at multiple other spots. I have respect for what other people do, he obviously doesn't and he also missed most the points brought up in this thread.
Anyways, i'm done arguings about this. I have my views on this and others there's, sadly some people's views are a bit disrespectful to others work.
Back to pictures :)

mountain bikers are what drove me and my friends to build on private land.

sorry, internet god**
i never said anything about messing with anything either. if i show up at a set of trails and there's a hole in the lip, i'll patch it. if they're dry, i'll wet them down. i've probably dealt with over 50 people pulling bullshit at the jumps i ran too. the area they're built in is getting a lot more traffic from walkers and the like, and they just got leveled because people were riding mopeds on them. you're right though, everything i do is only to big myself up, because all i want to do is get my name out there so i can go to dew tour and be a household name. you see right through me.
obviously we all have different ideas of what acceptable trails ettiquette is. let's get back to trails.

Not really sure what you're getting at with this, as this thread has not much to do with chavs really.
Chavs coming and fucking up your spot is annoying, but they're chavs, what do you expect.
But riders coming and being disrespectful? That's way out of line.

Anyone got any footy of this?
-
I have also made an observation whilst being at various trails in the south west over last year and this year, BMXers who can drive, are generally sound. Yet MTBers who can drive, are all dicks?
I ride a 24inch mtb.
You have 2 groups in the mtb jumping scene, you get the proper mtb trail riders who all run their own spots and are awesome lads. Then you get the pricky dirt jump kids, all wanting to be the next sponsored pro, all with over the top mtb's for trails and most likely emblazoned with monster energy stickers and the likes. Please don't get us confused ha.
-
my jumps was whores ridden by everyone i could convince to come thru... and anyone who rode regularly definitely spent time digging

I don't fit into either of those mtb groups really, I'm definitely a case of all the gear no idea though with my mtb I think haha. mtb is more for xc and downhill now I've got a bmx though.
That trail swap idea sounds good, although I don't have any of my own to show for myself. But it'd be nice to ride something different.

Eggit2 if you think about it my username is no more anonymous than yours (I'm guessing Eggit isn't your name, but even if it is what does a name tell me?!) I just hate coming up with usernames and that what was what came out when I need to sign up to ask a question on here a couple of years back. I very rarely come on here but a friend who's an internet fiend pointed me towards this thread as its been something we've discussed a lot recently.
Anyway not got anything else to add to the discussion, I've said my piece, I reckon its good to see people's views on forums like this though as it makes people aware how other people might feel and therefore maybe just a little more sensitive to other people's views from which ever side of the argument. Be nice if it didn't all have to be couched as insults and my "view is the only view that's valid" language but then I'm sure that's just me being old!
EDIT;
Forgot to say - Eggit2 the one thing I did find out from your profile is that from the look of your bike (which is wild!) you are the last person I would expect to turn up at the trails - fair play for breaking the mould in the identifit world of BMX in 2010.

Is that a slip an slide? Please tell me you guys lube that up and go penguin down the trails.

Yep, theres been thoughts of making one to go next to the line for filming purposes and general shenanigans.

I have always wanted to rig a zipline next to the jumps for filming purposes. You could get some killer shots that way.

if so, someone can move this.
some say, " no trees = no trails". but I say fuck that...

^ yeah, id say those are trails.

that video got me so fucking motivated to build some trails. I think its time i build my own.

Rode Sheep Hills this morning for a few hours. It was good to get back on some dirt. Its been way too long. Motivated to dig. I have a few places locally too that may work out.

that video got me so fucking motivated to build some trails. I think its time i build my own.
Same here, I just need to find some land out of sight that isn't owned by some crazy farmer who'd come down with a shotgun if he found out, hah. Any suggestions from the UK guys?
-
find a bit of land you like and find out who owns it on the land registry
linky linky (http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/www/wps/portal/!ut/p/c1/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gfN1MTQwt381BD_2A3A08LT2cL49AwIwN_Y6B8JG55dyNKdBsYEqPbAAdwNCCgOxzkV_xuxycPch1IHo_9wal5-n4e-bmp-gW5oaERBpkB6Y6KigCC11pb/dl2/d1/L0lDU0NTSUpKSkNncFJDZ3BSQSEhL29Cb1FBQUlRSkFBTVl4aWxJTTRMZ21ja3FTbVMvWUJKSnc0NTQ1MC00a3NseXQwc2p5cnchLzdfTEY1NDE4RzdVSEI2RjBJNEY3U0I0RzMwQzIvc3BmX0FjdGlvbk5hbWUvc3BmX0FjdGlvbkxpc3RlbmVyL3NwZl9zdHJ1dHNBY3Rpb24vITJmTWFwU3RhcnQuZG8!#7_LF5418G7UHB6F0I4F7SB4G30C2)
Just get an OS map, learn how to read it for what you want (right kind of woods, source of water, no footpaths etc) and get walking. Now is a good time to be looking for places, it'll take you a few months to find somewhere good, and you'll be digging by the time the weather craps out.
...or you could just get to know the villij or burlish dudes... nothin like having your own place though.
-
....also if you like wild trails setups, get a copy of Compression... amazing French spots.

local trails, digging with WryteDays, shits gonna be good.

To settle that debate thing, just put up signs stating whether or not it is okay to ride when the diggers/bosses are absent.

^already posted, still sick though.

Went to Woburn today. All the jumps are way above my skill level but they look awesome, loads of lines. I stuck to the downhill runs and explored the singletrack. Here's a small portion
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/woburn.jpg)
Rumoured that they'll be getting plowed very soon but no official word yet AFAIK.
-
Official word is end of the month sadly. Duke of Bucks put up the rent and insurance put up the premium. Sucks.
-
That does suck, it looks like an awesome place if you're into big jumps. Any idea if the whole lot is being closed to bikes or just the jump area?
-
I'm guessing just anything that is 'built', for insurance reasons, obviously I don't think they can stop people riding their bikes in the woods.

The stuff in this video (http://www.scott-sports.com/us_en/video/bike/2584/chtel_mountain_style_2010) is bloody mental.
By the way, anyone near Bedford, there's a new bike park just opened near Chicksands, called Greensands Bike Park. Apparently it's "like chicksands but newer and not run by pricks" haha. Probably more suitable for mtb but they've got a 4x, dual, pump track, DJ and maybe getting some north shore. BBQ at weekends, £3 a day or £10 a week. Looks pretty good to me, I'm gonna go check it out in the week. May also be doing their website, so more info may be coming soon!

I need to find a place to build this season. I really want to build a set that is more berms than jumps, and everything is a hip or off camber. The only straight jumps are going to be little speed doubles or super fast step downs just to mess with people.

Ohh ok. Once I get my car I am definitely gonna make some weekend trips and dig. Let me know if you are ever going to be in the area Mitch!
-
something I've been working on over the winter, as you can see the upramp has collapsed slightly. Pretty much ride able now, just a few soft spots.
It's basically a 90 degree hip (up ramp is an elevated section of the smaller berm) then through the larger berm (camera right) then a small berm jump. What you cant see after the berm jump is another berm leading into a drop off ramp back into the bottom section of the main line.

^yes.

you shoulda made like 3 different lips, like one steeper, one angled and like one off set from the rest with all that dirt... but then when you do that, usually people figure out which one feels best and ignore the rest
-
that last pic I posted is a landing.... the lip has two options, one to the right or one strait which puts you on that landing you see in the pic. The picture was taken from the top of a MASSIVE berm.

Ground is frozen here again, no more digging until 2011 I think. :(

berms dont have to be huge, they just need to hit close to vert to get you sideways... shovel smart not hard
-
berms dont have to be huge, they just need to hit close to vert to get you sideways... shovel smart not hard
depends on a few factors...
we've got a berm going in that is going to be huge. it won't work any other way simple because of the speed coming off the jump that leads into it.
-
Trying to get out to the local trails this weekend to help dig. The only guy building hasn't built trails before but shreds them. I'll take some photos when I'm there. I haven't been yet.
-
No pictures but went to boyd's today to help out, that place is super good and definitely qualifies as "wild." http://digfourvictory.wordpress.com/ go and be inspired.
2011 is going to be sweet. Go digging.

Yep thats gorge road in Queenstown, more lines to the left, lots of transfer lines to do. Pretty much looks amazing to ride.

When it isn't windy, probably.

It's been stupid nice this week so we have been putting in work.
Berm to the right is the beginning of the main line, followed by some rollers and the berm jump you see in the next picture, the other line is a "tech" line we are building, rollers to what we call the "in and out", then down into a 90degree almost vertical berm to nothing at the moment.

Kalamazoo, Mi is very lucky to have a few sets of trails, with so little riding scene. We are a dedicated bunch tho. Some awesome looking trail in this thread. Thanks to everyone for keeping the trail scenes alive.

Me and my mates camped out in some random woods last night and I found a really nice little spot for a few jumps and berms. Gonna go back there later in the week and start to clear out some kind of path and get planning some lines. Thinking it'd be cool to start it with a small ladder drop in.
Has anyone got any links/guides to trail building for a complete noob? For starters what's a good technique for clearing out and packing down a track to link the jumps together nicely?

Here is what peynier looks like now... This photo does not do the craziness justice.
@Tom there was a "trail building guide" thread in the lounge a few months ago, search for it. At mine we have to take 3-6" of pine needles and mulch off the top to get to rideable ground, I usually rake some clay over the top to bring it back to ground level. Long handled Tarmac rakes are really useful for both clearing and shaping, consider getting one. Yo!

^ Huge.
-
thats absolutely ridiculous
-
Is that the gap for one jump? Insane.
-
thats gotta be like...at least 60 feet
-
Having a hard time thinking that is a gap. I think it's a landing on the left that leads into a lip on the right...?
-
Definitely a landing on the left and lip on the right ie the pit between two jumps.
-
Its a landing on the left, lip on the right.
I don't know how Big the gaps are, it was kind of hard to tell as they're so tall and bulky. This is almost at the end of the line, and the second jump in the same line is a 7 m long step down. Stoked on seeing it with my own eyes, hats off to the locals for sure.
Here's a video of the first test runs.

Not really sure what the weather is doing this year, it's been crazy dry so far. I have a nasty feeling the summer is going to crap out around June but I guess we will see... Make the most while the going is good I guess!

since then we have fixed the first lip and lander, pitted out and stacked the next two lips back up and clayed em, stacked up the next two landers along with the trick-jump lander to the right and are currently working on the berms. Ill be taking more pictures next week, including our sweet pump track start.

Extremely inspiring berm.
-
Just found this pic from Woburn's facebook page, the diggers have been very busy. Saw it being started a few weeks ago, went last week and saw this beast. I don't even know what's going on, but suffice to say I won't be riding it.
(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227014_10150178628512077_543307076_7455472_1014306_n.jpg)

Wow. Don't think I've ever seen a step-down that big before. Or is it a step-up?
-
No idea haha. The bit the guy's standing in is kinda bermed as well.
-
..
-
I may be helping out with building some smaller "beginner" jumps there this weekend so I can find out what it's meant to be.
edit - after some fb trawling it looks like it's a landing, so step down I guess.
-
I reckon its a quarter or some sort of landing. Its too long to be a takeoff unless you're going superspeed.
from what i've seen and read, the dirt they have there is very sandy. i don't know how well that would hold up for any type of dirt quarter.
my vote is for landing.
-
It definitely looks like it would be difficult to pop off something so mellow so it's most likely a landing. It's awesome that it's built it in a lower spot so you can carry more speed from it.
I reckon its a quarter or some sort of landing. Its too long to be a takeoff unless you're going superspeed.
I don't see a reason why superspeed would be difficult to reach at a spot like that. :)
Love the look of those woods as well. Reminds me a bit of the forests we have over here. Sadly the proper ones are all too far from civilization to build trails at.
-
"brand new beaastly landing for a 180 hip" is what it is. And yeah Woburn's a pretty fun place to ride, loads of short-run downhill things which is all I ride as all the DJ is massive at the minute.

*that curved landing that is

Awesome. Paul Kintner is one dialled dude on the bike. Just watched his part in BTU. Hadn't watched it before I think for some reason. It's crazy that he is so unrecognized.
Here's another photo of him off S&M's social networking page.

Got laid off recently so I started this up near my house, making it mostly technical stuff to jib around on. I have Posh and Catty both 20 minutes from my house so it's nice pedaling a little bit to ride dirt and dig.
Shitty cell pics taken after monsoon came through the other day and a lot of stuff you can't see in the pics.

Taking a trip over here from NZ would honestly be worth it. I'm so spoiled living so close to Posh and Catty. Good trails, good dudes and good vibes doesn't get any better than that.

That roller to berm setup looks so fun to start off a run.
I'll have to post recent pics of my spot, found a spot right next to it for bigger hits (have a 14ft. first set just finished yesterday). Pretty much turned the smaller hits into a skatepark setup I'm pretty stoked on it. dirt/wood vertwall, berm that you have to jump out of onto a wallride and back into the berm.

that berm pic above is crazy fast. crazy.fast.

HEY! I took these pictures when I used to live in Rochester! Random find on BG! I took a bunch of shots this day. This one was just to show the size of this jump. That line never even ended up getting ridden. This was the last summer the locals dug at Honda. The next summer they started a new set at the main dude's Uncle's house. New trails are pretty awesome. Let me see if I can find any more pictures from Honda. Snapped a few good ones BITD.

Is the thing on the right some kind of berm-roller combination? It looks awesome.

I guess so. Just to clear things up, I didn't make this, neither do I know exactly where it is. Just know the dudes who made it. It does indeed look awesome and I'd love to ride it one day haha.

Siligna Woods? If so, I've seen that blog before. That dirt looks lovely. The top soil looks a bit sandy, what's the red dirt like to work with?
-
Yep thats the one. It's a mixture of sand and clay, really easy to dig. I found it different to work with, needs quite a bit of water and different techniques than I'm used to.
Makes for some really smooth jumps but from what Ive seen probably requires bit more maintenance.
-
Managed a ride at my own set of trails over the weekend.
Tested a new transfer that we've just finished, scary as fuck and feels like a roller coaster.

Started too dig a 270 berm . Still have too figure out what I'm doing with the exit. I was going too build a new line , but working 6 days a week and digging alone has changed my ideas a bit. That and the huge freaking boulder that's sitting in the middle of it. I was going dig down another 4 feet and build up rather than building above ground.

i've seen it on the web before but its been a while

I don't but i remember there was this body builder dude that rode and had an interview in ride UK probably like 4 years ago and he had this double and he boosted it about 20 feet up, crazy shit.

Been doing a bit of digging today. Me and my mates found some old un-used trails that need re-shaping and smoothing out. Pretty good to have a set halfway done that we can just improve. One of the lines is a berm > roller > tabletop > step down > slight hip > berm > step up. Gonna be fun. The transitions are really tight though so all need mellowing out a bit especially for my mates on 26".
-
That's not true. We have seriously STEEP and DEEP trails that 26'rs ride. Unless your jumps are only 3-4 feet tall. but what's the point of that? make 'em tall/steep/deep
-
Yeah they're small jumps, my mates are new to riding so we can't really make anything big at the minute.
edit - turns out the mud here is clay and it should be awesome for jumps. I've never built trails before so I have no idea if I'm doing it right but the first re-worked/slightly mellowed takeoff is looking nice so far.. the logs etc in the middle were already there so don't hate me for that haha. Makes it rollable for my mates til they can jump properly anyway.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/IMG_7604.jpg)
here's a view from the landing of the hip that needs sorting out (left). Bit in the middle is a small kicker/step down leading you into the hip, just before that is the landing to the first jump. Lots of work to do but it should be fun when its all finished and set.

imagine a world without lawyers. go run over a lawyer!

We went to a meeting with the city folks. They didn't understand why we would dig in the woods when there was a perfectly good bmx track in the same city...
They put up new signs (no trespassing) and a new fence. They informed the sherrif to start enforcing the signs. I have only been part of this trail crew for two years but I guess they have had some folks arrested in the past for trespassing, etc.
We mentioned catty woods, insurance, etc. As well as mentioned other public trails that are much more than a bmx track. Their ears were deaf to our plea. We may be getting HUGE fines as well. Only time will tell.
:(

It's a good ideia against kids destroying your jumps.
-
There's a set of trails around here that has a entire line of 5 jumps, one berm and one roller that is cement. The dirt isn't the kind that would set up well as it has lots of sand/organic material (I"m not a technical dirt expert, i just know the dirt doesn't pack/stay packed)
The locals did a VERY good job of using cement and the jumps ride amazingly.
I'm pretty sure they're doing this to some extent at Catty* in the berms.
* I know they are using cement in some east coast/PA trails.
-
You dont even need to use the amount of concrete these guys are. I've used a concrete a bit before and I normally only use two shovel of concrete to about a 3/4 barrow. that way it's solid but can still be changed.
From what I saw at catty they use way more concrete that what i'd do (they've done a berm and two lips) but then again they get crazy freeze and thaw cycles there so they have to use a high concrete to clay ratio for it to hold up to the freeze.
More concrete = stronger but less changeable so you need to get it right first time.
-
But if you for example get lots of rain that might drain (not necessarily all) the soil from under the concrete. Then you just end up with a thin hollow cement lip that will crack easily right? How durable is a concreted lip/jump?
-
If done correctly, a concrete lip is as durable as a skatepark lip/bowl.
I know people that used chicken wire/rebarr and made a cement quarter in the woods. That's kind of overkill but they wanted it to last for years and it's still there today(10 years later)
-
We just recently got permission to build on some local parks district land. Just made a small pumptrack and finished the clearing of our trail so far... I think it has mad potential though! There's a large abundance of clay and fresh dirt on the property, so we have it pretty well off.
Here's a map of the area.

SICK!
Let us know when they're running so I can come shralp 'em! :)
Have you any plans or ideas what the jump line will look like? Do you have any size requirements? Doubles or tables? rollers, hips, berms? what what what??? :)
-
All of the above! It's in a public park so we want to do something that can appeal to everyone and hopefully get people stoked on bmx! The plan is to start out with a medium size line of doubles just to get things rolling and add the small and big lines later on. I'm not exactly sure what it's going to look like, but I want it to be extremely flowy with lots of variety. Each line can be about 100 yards long. I'll post an update when we get something done.
-
You should try and make each line end near where they start. Pedaling back to the start is so 1995.
I'm right across the water from you (w.seattle), if you want help in any way give a holla'. :)
-
That would be ideal... It wouldn't really work out at that spot though, there's too much elevation loss.
I'll let you know, maybe we'll get a work party going!
-
InTheWoods - Did you ever visit the trails in Lynnwood?
Here's some inspiration. Love those high speed berms and rollers.

How do we ***** vids?

Nope, I never made it to Lynnwood unfortunately. I used to go to SST before the flow park got plowed. Haha.
Rad video, I can only dream of a spot like that...

only dream? if you have a place to dig you're half way there!

Frisco is so bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awesome how you can work your way up at these trails. Kind of like how ski resorts have your blue square up to black diamond type shit...you can start off on some rollers, then hit some tables and then work your way up from there. Places like this are awesome for everybody regardless of your skill.
Ackbar- do you snowboard? I am headed to Summit County on the 7th of Jan. First time snowboarding in CO. Fucking stoked.

these jumps were already like 10years old... like 10 years ago.
theyve changed soo much, there used to be a bunch of random jumps in the middle and a giant hook berm around the left that shot into a giant jump called the evil knevil,

those are mostly 20footers
dont pedal dont pump, easist jumps i ever rode
they just recently built a 40footer on the left.

As sad as it sounds, I can't jump dirt when there's some deathly deep gap in between. I wish people would build like this more often.

That photos kind of deceiving. I took it from the smaller side of the trails where the gaps are main filled in but the otherside has full on gaps between the lips and landings, they still have huge case pads though so pretty safe jumps to ride.

So, the dirt at our trail is horrible and full of rocks and sand. Our idea was to mix it with clay, but the clay we have available is just so dense that it's almost impossible mix in a realistic manner.
I've basically just resorted to using the bad dirt as filler and burying everything under a layer of clay. Obviously that's not ideal but it works.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/wgutxz.jpg)
-
looks good!
I'm pretty sure there is some good dirt there, you just have to dig way down to find it. Any idea if/when you're getting dirt from the school?
-
We got a bunch of dirt from the school a few weeks ago, it's pretty much the same stuff as whats down there though (if not worse).
I'll try digging in a few different spots to look for better dirt.
-
just dig strait down in one spot. you may need 3-4 feet down but before you find good dirt.
-
Started fixing up a spot for the little runts that come in the shop all the time. I figure if I can ride down the street and ride a little dirt after work instead of drive 20 minutes to catty or posh every day I might as well I'll snap a few pics tomorrow after work.
-
since our trails got plowed we've been working with the city to make the public jumps better. (basicly, we want big jumps, they want rollers)
We had a work party to put in this berm for the little line.

Right next to a skatepark too!!!!! Nice.
-
The dirt jumps have been there since about '95. The skatepark is much newer.
we got a sign too! I put in HOURS of work and raise $2,200.00
$1200.00 went to a new tool box so our tools don't get ripped off and the other $1,000.00 is to spend on tools/signage.

Just found out my Dad's moving to a new house that has access/ownership of a small field that he can't be arsed to do anything with, I should be able to build some jumps there :) Give me some inspiration for maximum fun in a small space! I think it's either an acre or two, which sounds more than it is I think. Annoyingly I'll be moving out soon but having jumps in pretty much my back garden for a few months will be awesome haha
-
Definitely a circle of hips like prettyshady joe built in his garden. I'm envious!
-
Ah that looks awesome! Definitely gonna have to try something like that! Anyone got any good links to trail building tips? Ive only ever made little dirt kickers before so I dunno what the best way to go about building proper doubles is.

I went and checked out the perfect trails grounds today. Lots of changes in elevation (rare in Florida), fairly easy access, owned by the county (which means little oversight given that it's undeveloped), and not far from where I live. Two bummers though: it seems like transients frequent the patch and the soil is almost straight sugar sand. I knew a dh guy that built some jumps there about 4 years ago and I found their rained down remains. I wish I knew someone around here that would come out and dig with me.
-
was that landing, roller, berm pic on a pumptrack facebook page? I posted it (found it on another bmx site) awhile back on a pump track fb page. funny if you found it there and posted it here. :)
Not a wild set up, local public jumps. friend of mine, shot on his 44th birthday.
Damn. This dude looks to have Chase Hawk's steeze.
Hope to be riding like that on my 44th. That is awesome.
-
Not so wild yet, but slowly making progress...

You guys take the berm out? I think some folks are riding greenlake tmrw, you should come out.
-
Yeah, the berm is gone now. I kind of liked it, but Marco wanted to change it up. We're building a big double off to the side of the 1st jump (you can kind of see the beginning of the landing in the pictures) and a big roller to trail gap/transfer booter thing after that.
I probably can't make it over there today. Thanks for the heads up though.
-
Been out digging all day at our spot, we've got a quality set of woods to dig in with the land owners permission. It's down a hill and were going big with them on the mainline with smaller lines coming off the side along and back up the hill to zap some of the speed off. There's about a 10 inch layer of shitty mud then we hit clay, I can't wait for summer!
-
This is pretty insane. Would love to ride that.

That place looks awesome. My dads house with the empty field fell through so I never got to dig my own circle of hips in the end :( our little jump spot we started in a different woods has shite drainage as well so its never dry. Need to find a new place! My new house has a garden that's probably big enough for a pump track so when im settled in I may get to work on one ready for summer.
-
Just moved into my first house (w00t!) and this is my garden. I can't be fucked with maintaining a lawn so I'm thinking a pump track might be in order, it's big enough I reckon. Give me some inspiration for when I finally get round to digging! Mini hip over the planter corner would be fun.

Damn. I can only imagine the flatty's unleashed in that backyard.

We have been digging one of our trails spots to throw a jam in the end of March. There isn't a better feeling than dig and ride!

Anyone seen this? 1km long pump track, looks fun! http://www.pinkbike.com/news/marsh-tracks-north-wales-2014.html
-
That looks insane. So much fun would be had. You would have hulk legs in a week also.
-
man that pump track looks fun,seems like it would get tiring real quick on a bmx though
-
That fucker skidding on the berms needs a smack upside the head.
I want to ride there, I'm not sure what bike would be best for it though.
-
Someday, I want to build a spot that's small flowy dirt jumps in a pumptrack style format. Basically just a big loop with a berm and a few pumps for every jump.

same here, my dream is to make some trails that loop, that start from a roll in or even hipping out of a miniramp

DO IT.
-
Our old set of trails, you used to be able to do that. It was basically loads of lines in one direction that all ran into the same two berms then a set running back to the start, but if you did the whole lot in one go you were knackered.

Nothing big yet, just a handful of small doubles, some rollers and a berm at the end.

Only 2 of us down at these trails now. Where has the trail community gone in London!?
-
Probably doing 2mph feebles. What side of London are those trails? They look amazing
-
NW london, there are only two of us maintaining a line of 12 jumps. If you are ever around feel free to come in and have a play, there big, but easy
http://www.pinkbike.com/video/374049/#top
There is a video of my mate going over them on his 24'
-
We're stacking and packing. Strict "no photo's" policy....
We have a public park that just got 27 dump loads of dirt this winter. That place is dialed. Trail jam is this Saturday.
http://canyoudigitbmx.com/greenlake-bmx-jam/
-
that place looks so nice, but that fence is so close to some of those jumps! Don't bail left
-
Been riding there 20+ years. Haven't seen anyone hit the fence.
-
just one of those things you get use to I suppose. Did you buy all your dirt in, why couldn't you just dig a hole ;) ?
-
The Greenlake BMX jumps are smack dab in the middle of a city park. We can't just go diggin' holes, etc.
The dirt was given to us from another parks area.
Hopefully there will be some pics and videos from the jam.
-
Was riding these a couple of days ago:

I rolled my ankle yesterday on the trails at the Ruben park - full on fucked it, ballooned up and can't walk on the second day of our trip. Ruben showed up ten minutes later and I had to sit there watching my mates session trails with my favourite rider.
-
^ Holy shit that place is so wicked
-
Saw Greenlakes Jam video on CYDI, looks like such a fun set up you got going on down there
