Yeah.....I don’t ride rain saturated trails w/out a damn good reason. My sh*t is too $$$ for that. If I go anywhere it’ll be Allaire... but I’m not gonna bother making specific plans to ride that. I’ll get there (if I get there), when I get there. Mother Nature f’d us..... again. 🙁

@MadisonDan Yes thank you Kurt Vonegut that is the name of the trail that is a mess after the rain. I couldn't remember it yesterday. We will def need to skip it which stinks because it is a really fun lil section. There will be a couple other wet spots, but that trail is unrideable

HA! that's right.... last time I was at LewMo, we went into that section for a quick sprint and it smelled a bit like something was rotting in there

I have got the mileage wrong, it was under 1 hr but I did constantly exceed 22 mph, I'm guessing 17-18 mls...

Does the mph translate differently on the road? In order for me to hit 22mph, its pretty much a get off the saddle full effort and cant last more than a few minutes
On a roadie that is

I've been thinking to make some ramps to practice jumping at the parks as I have some extra lumber from a deck project.
where is the skate park near you? I need some ideas on pitch and such. I've watched a few of Seth's vids and some smaller versions would fit in my SUV.
This is starting to feel like HS when we tried to make our own 1/4 pipes and ramps. I hope make something sweeter than this, anyone got some realistic ideas?

The closest skate park to me is Ann Van Middlesworth park in Hillsborough. I've made tons of kickers, half pipes, the whole 9 yards when I was a kid. The whole key is the transition and lip angles. The longer the wheelbase, the bigger the radius you want. The steeper the lip, the closer your landing will be but the higher you get. I'll talk more about it later when I get home from work if there's interest.

Even better draw me a sketch and I will try to build it.

I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing.... but even more than a jumping ramp, I’m thinking about a good drop. (Not a roof drop, so don’t say it).

No idea, I set the computer to 'park' mode and gave it all I had. There's a bunch of different programs (park, plateau, sprint etc.), you enter your weight, select the level of effort and off you go. I was watching the telly while doing it, it helps fight absolute boredom.

This is a really simple idea but I don't know what length it'll be. Draw a line about 2.5' up from the long edge of a sheet of plywood(higher will give you a steeper lip and shorter a mellower one but don't go so small that both wheels aren't on the face at the same time), run about 45° line from corner up to the line, then get a 10' stick and pin a nail through one end and tape a pencil to the other to draw the transition. You may need to play with where the transition line intersects the height line and maybe lengthen the run-out at the bottom but that'll give you the sides. Cut 2 and figure out how wide you want it and cut a bunch of 2x4's to length and screw them in connecting the sides. Cut and screw some plywood for the face and back and send it. This is pretty much how we made everything when I was younger, just play around with it until it looks right and as long as the radius isn't much smaller than about 8' it'll be good. If you want to get higher, shorter radius. Lower, longer. I'll knock something together when I get a chance and post it so you can see what I mean.
