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.

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.

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 is the hip that leads into that s-berm.

Its starting to get wild.

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 thought you run a coaster

I go back and forth as my coaster ends up out of commission every month or so when the bearings die.

The gsport ratchet runs on two 6904s. Not that anyone needs to know since I am pretty sure I am the only person to blow those things out.

Union break. What you can't see is the 5 supervisors standing behind the camera drinking coffee.

We started digging finally!
Not exactly wild yet, but the seeds have been planted and the buds are growing.

We don't need to "redesign" the site, information is its primary function, not to look pretty. Look how little "design" wikipedia has. What would be nice though is to get a decent page template going so that the general formatting and idea flow was uniform across pages.

When I get some time I will make a "blank" page that just has the formatting so you can copy and paste it to use a guideline.

I will get some stuff up in a bit, I have just been super busy and they switched me over to night shifts at work so my sleep schedule is ruined.

And carbon, the media wiki website has a ton fo good guides on editing. It incredibly useful when trying to get the formatting right for something.

MEdia wiki si the one I have experience with, I would suggest it as well. The website is incredibly helpful as far as formatting, making scripts, and things like that go.
