new jump alert

[mr fish]

me and mike(just moved to Lincoln from Huddersfield-cortina dh8) built a take off further down the trail from flintstones its a bit more vert than flintstones but seems smooth enough,we'll give it some use and then deceide if needs to be bigger ,longer etc
:devil: :devil: :devil: go check it out :D

[Baker]

Sounds cool. I've finaly done flinstones without casing and being scared out of my wits so next time i'm up i'll give it a go. wont be for a while though, my bikes knackred :-(

[Ben]

and a sucess it is imho, now we just need the man power to finish it on sunday!

[jack]

ill look out for it, might be a while though, im in about the same condition as baker's bike

[Baker]

Might be up sometime cos my dad is gonna lend me his deraliur hanger and my wheel should hold out. that is if my deraliur aint bust!!!!

[Ben]

the new jump has been revamped, now its bigger, better and darn right awsome..

[mr fish]

and will hopefully have a big landing built for it tomorow :devil:

[Tom]

It sure is good.
A landing makes a lot of difference on a hardtail.:thumb:

[Ben]

yes fantastic new jump, really smooth and fast,.. great fun

another good sunday too, dry fast and decent turn out, cool:cool:

[mr fish]

After a bit of thought :hombre: i've come to the conclusion that the take off is a bit sevre,as it is, it will exclude to many people from trying it out :hmm: so i reckon we should just mellow out the take off by filling in the base a little,thus making the take off a bit longer :D ................what da ay reckon ;)

[Ben]

i think its great as it is, partly because its a bit different to all the other jumps we have, therefore people will be trying something new. The steepness is a good thing imho, as it feels like a jump instead of a drop

[Tom]

Ye, even though it looks steep it isn't actually that bad.
Once people have done it once they will find out how smooth it rides.

[mr fish]

the take off is gonna need a bit of armouring anyway as it is it ain't gonna be long before theres a big divot full of water just in front of it where your front wheel slams into the ramp,i'm only talking about a subtle change and off coarse the landing needs a lot more dirt yet. :D

[Tom]

Ok. Also winter is closing in and it is not going to be dry for long.

[mr fish]

so all it took was one barrow full of dirt to make the take off feel much smoother :devil: and a few more on the landing just made it all look a bit more finished and i managed to clear it :fu: which was nice.
however there's still a tendancie to over rotate and come into the landing very front end first....ok if you hit the tranny :D a bit sketch if ya over shoot(what da ya reckon Ben :D) or indeed like myself hit the table part of the landing :\ any way it reminded me of them birds that fly head first straight into the sea to catch fish
"Stuka" i think you call them, oh and of coarse the imfamous dive bomber of ww2 has the same name.what do ya reckon?
thanks again to cortina mike for his help :thumb:

[Ben]

yeah sounds good, stuka, this is where we need chainsaw man to get a fresh log and carve a diving bird into it right next to the jump, should look pretty cool do ya reckon?

[Ben]

see the remesblence :D :p :D
