Trail work
Been doing a good bit of trail work since I got back. A good buddy of mine is developing DH trails at his house really close to me, so I've been spending quite a bit of time over there working. Also, the "proDH" track at the Dirty Bird is just about finished. It's gonna be interesting. Drifty turns, steep chutes, ROCKS, jumps, berms, you name it. The track has it all. Even a little bit of grass thrown in to cover all the basics. Right now we are finishing up a section towards the bottom, where you hit a stepdown out of the woods onto a massive benchcut in the ski slope, to a righthand hip, left berm/right berm combo, then an off-camber traverse over towards where we should have a really big stepdown. There is a wood kicker on the way out, we'll see how that works, if it rides weird we will build it with dirt. After that, you cross another slope towards the old area with the whoops and hit a floaty left hip, followed by a flat right hand turn into the old track just after the whoops. So basically the track is going to open up after all the tight techy stuff and get fast and boosty. Hope y'all like it.
