Powers Creek Trail Day

Got busy with some maintenance today. Dave built up a new hit near the top of Builders Only, but it had a bit of a savage landing. So much so that a few well meaning but misguided individuals felt the urge to install this shonky ramp.

My plan was to remove said ramp and make a nice tranny instead.

I was going to put that tranny about where the bottom of the ramp was, but after 20 or 30 riders in a row came wailing off the jump and landed aout three feet further out, I changed my plan. Hey, is that a Knolly?

Once I got that done, Harley and I randown to check out Dave’s latest creation. It has no name, but in honour of a minor shitstorm I created over a comment about “sissy lines” it may be referenced as the “Sissy Smoker.”

I’ve always called the easy way around the “sissy line” a few folks didn’t get the joke over at PinkBike. Oh well, I actually did spend a reasonable amount of time making a decent way around for riders of the more earthbound persuasion.

Becasue not everyone is up to speed on gaps.

The last project was to lay a bunch of logs into this corner before the stepup combo.

To guinea pig it, some local punksters showed up to show us how.

It’s not really big enough for a no footer, but he went for it anyway.
