You only need armor if you plan on falling, noob.

I never wear a helmet when I boost 40ft gaps because I'm the best rider on BF.

For some reason I cant see you're pics, but I think I saw the letters O, V, and R. I'm more in the area of WOR. In a few months here, hopefully I'll get to do a bit of racing. With luck.

Sometimes I hug the tree first. Depends on my mood-or if the tree is hot.

We've built some berms, gaps, and other jumps but no skinnies.

Some new stunts going in on a new trail on the local shuttle mountain....just have to wait for the trail to get burned in.

I haven't taken any pics of anything on my property in a while. I've been building the XC loop lately and haven't taken any pics.

As for our local shuttle mountain - this is our trail organization website: https://www.mmbts.com/members/

You can browse through the gallery but we only recently set up the site so it's still being added to. Pics from our first trail day for 09 should have some stunts. We had a trail day yesterday and the trails that were focused on then have a lot more stunts than those worked on during the first trail day.

I have to wait until we get the pics from the photographer and then the site will be updated.
