It's so fun. I laugh out loud every time I ride it. Lucky enough to get paid to build that a block from my house. It feeds directly into this run, the lower mtn. beginner (but still fun) stuff.

Last week my 4 yo hit the jump I one-hand off to the transition. He was stoked. This week hard crash but be shook it off. Flow trails may get boring if they are too "perfect", but that are transformative for riders looking to break though to the next level of riding.

902 vert. feet. Norwich Ski Hill is the second biggest "Lost Ski Area" in New England....was the biggest until Ascutney closed. From the Summit of Paine Mtn at 2400...to the lot is 1600 vert and a mix of old school single track, machine built flow trail and a bit of double track blasting. That last bit was shot after a work day, work boots on my time z pedals. The single track on the ridge is tight and technical. it's taken 7 years but my backyard is finally good enough that I only loaded the bike on the car to ride 2-3 times this year...Snippet of the ridge trail...

Added a transfer line to the pump track and it finally rained last week so I'll be adding a bit more.
Also got about 14 loads of dirt, so, I'll have something to keep me busy for a bit. Now, just need to decide what to do with that new dirt......some sort of jump line off the pump track, no doubt.

ok, now i believe you
pretty sure that is a blackrock trademark, the actual solution is to send that shit gas to flat BRaaaappp!
if you are landing on wood, you are coming up short
"Mom (who was HAWT!) said they would rather come to the pump track than watch TV or play computer games."
i see where you get your inspiration
mining gold isnt eveyones idea of a good time?
cedar link no workie, i need some tree porn please!
+1 more biggerer
taller berms?
bigger drop in (longer not necessarily taller)
raised surface track for drainage?
looks like decent sized pile of fresh dirt, better get busy!
any thoughts on using some wood? land looks fairly flat, if you can get some elevation change for momentum reset points with a second drop in spot or high point to stall out on that would be even more raddererrer also
looks fun, i wanna ride it
happy as a pig in shit
we are starting to close down the dj lines for winter, anyone have experience tarping jumps?
got a sweet system dialed?
rope, chain, anchors, sandbags?
whats your technique?
we want to design a semi permanent system, open to ideas...

I like the high point in the middle idea. Though, it'll probably come in the form of some sort of step up in the jump line. At this point, the pump track will stay as it is, though I'll prolly build some berms up and definitely make the start hill longer (already started doing that). Wood would be fun, but, I'm cheap and don't want to pay for it, so, won't be happening any time soon.
Started the first double. The only problem with digging alone is there is no one else to turn to for the guinea pig duties. Should be interesting since I've never actually built a jump line before!

I was calling it passing the IQ test
You gonna die.
I need to kill some vacation before the end of the year. You want some help? What do you have for machines hanging around?
And how much elevation difference do you really have there? Looks flat as shit in the pics.Last edited by kidwoo; 11-06-2014 at 08:13 PM.

I'll have to hit you up to get the tour when I'm back east in July. I worked at SkiRack and raced at UVM 05-09 and know Brooke from that. Haven't ridden those trails, but my mom lives in East Montpelier now so access will be easy!

looking good, im super jealous you can still play in the dirt, there is currently 4in of snow on the ground here and i wont see brown pow till march
as far as steep lips, i got some great advice from a dj shredder/digger about a good beginner line and way to learn the steepness factor
he called it a "spine line", basically exactly what it sounds like, like a tabletop without its middle, something you would see on a street bmx course or skatepark
you can ride them slow or fairly quick, and use pumping front/back to control finding the landing
i havent tried building any yet, but want to try out a few as a practice line next season, seems like a great way to get comfortable with the steepness intimidation factor, which is what frustrates me mentally more than anything else
this is what i see too haha!
