I just recently adopted a trail section at Jack Brooks. I've heard the ring leader of the group talk about people wanting big ramps. He then has to explain the park rules that a structure over 6 foot requires a handrail. Loop hole on that rule... if the exit of the structure is less than 3 foot of the ground. That would make one stupid looking ramp.

Thing about riding in/after the rain for Jack Brooks. After a decent rain, it takes a week for the trails to dry. The trail system is next to and through a creek system. Lots of bridges. But all the low flat land through the trail is a temporary swamp when wet. With all the rain that has been dropping here lately, I know I should go out to smooth out the ruts that some have left. (Adopted one of the beginner level trails).
