Thread: New stunt on favorite trail

I set up a new elevated log ride this Saturday on a large fallen tree. It's about 35-40 feet long and ends up with a 3.75 to 4.75 foot drop at the end, depending how far out the rider lands the drop.
It took about 2 hours of sawing off limbs and stacking a rock side-ramp entry. This tree couldn't have fallen over in a better spot.
I went back yesterday to play on it and film.
I named it after my cheap-ass beer!
I gladly introduce the Beer:30 Log.

Nice new feature! I'm a fan of repurposing deadfall too. Turned a downed aspen tree in to a nice jump that flows with the trail.

Knumbskull And where might this be so I may "test" it?!

Looks fun, good work!

PM sent.

haha girls are icky... nice little feature though.

IT'S.......

Any thoughts on putting a flat top on it?

Check out a log wizard. That should do the trick. I saw one of our techs testing one out today. Looks pretty sweet.

There's no need to flat top it right now. It's wide enough & grippy enough. If it gets too slick when the bark starts coming off of the top, I'll sneak in with a chainsaw if necessary. It should hold up for several years as is, I think. The trail is 7 miles of shuttle-able knar downhill (10,000 ft down to 7200 ft) in the mountains of Santa Fe. One of the sweetest, knarliest, longest shuttle runs around. A true freerider's delight.
I was pretty happy to get this stunt in down low, where the trail gets calmer and less feature-intensive.

why would you ever drink beer30?

Good question. Impulse buy at the liquor store. It's the worst beer I've ever had. I thought it would at least be worth the laughs, but it's very hard to drink. There's about 20 more in my fridge (30 pack was $18) that are free to whomever can stomach that stuff.

Seriously, that stuff is unbelievable. Back on topic, that feature looks really fun.

Good thing you live in NM. That stuff will be gone before you know it.

I hope we can get down this summer and shuttle that. So sweet.

If you do, PM me. I'll be able to show you the goods (getting on the wrong trail is way too easy) and turn you on to some more awesome stuff. I'm certain that you'll be happy when you go home.
This area is sick for the DH/FR/AM scene.
