new Lucketts Pump Track

Lucketts, VA gettin' done

Germantown Pump Track

Pro Design + skilled Amateur shapers = Pro Outcome

the Man of the Week takin' care of his new baby

lots of S-turns here

Huge thanks to Todd, JoeF, and MORE for pulling this off.
It's the biggest/baddest pump track I've yet seen
still some more work to do on the inside lines.
the outer mainline is rollin' fast already
lots of skilled bike-laborers out there got it going in the past few days

Is this the first/only public pump track in Maryland???

this pic was too cool to not steal
full credit to the kung fu pump master here

Donuts are as good as Cupcakes,
sometimes more reliable too

easter sunday service
we will soon see just how not ready for prime time I've ever been in Spring

Pine Hill

Birth of the next X-Games event here at Sea Otter?

the latest Pine Hill design
we're taking comments if you got 'em

I was the wait for me guy on the sunday service today,

even bailed it short
not feeling anywhere near a 40 in me

went to check the pump track later on for the potential Monday night sesh and met a couple guys from Gettysburg there with nice DJ bikes.
glad I took a little wheel bike along just in case as a
good time ensued,
the track was riding great before this rain.

defunct

finally found this video of last summer's contest at the now-defunct Cluggy's skatepark in Chambersburg.
some of these guys have actually ridden our pump track
yea, they think it's pretty lame

2113

something new

2113
21 people day on 1
13 today

might be some more curve tweaking as the trail settles in and speeds up
why hit those brakes if u don't have to.
a long elevated nonequine rockway alt line to come later

new track in the works?

An article in today's Public Opinion, none of the typical snarky comments yet.
Started a Facebook page for the meeting and track since we only have a month to mobilize. Facebook still confuses me, I set this up as a Community page. If you're a user, see if you can Like it or Friend it, or somehow show it love, if this link even works....


the park manager sketched this in 2005

south end of Michaux
Pine Hill Park
Waynesboro, PA

the Township Managers and Supervisors seem more charged up than the Chambersburg folk 3 years ago. One of the Supers races downhill with his kid.
They want it riding by July (we'll see...)
I'm not quite as optimistic/ambitious as they are, but it's their park, so they can really make it happen if they want it

Public Meeting for all interested bikers of all wheel sizes.
April 7th, 7:00
If you have ideas or opinions, or want to help choose the design, show up and be heard.
Pass along to interested parties, and I'll be pinging peeps directly too. Will be interesting to see how this progresses. Could it really be this easy?

for scale reference, the Chambersburg Pump Track would easily fit inside the skatepark shown.

more, please

check out that speedy crust
good flow on the few downs we found

a surprisingly good run this week

a powdah morning at Whitetail w/ the grom

bluebird day turns to blackbird night - solo track skiing in the local beloved

sky full of bright stars, no wind, fast tracks;
an after work singletrack schwack with Wrenchy & SSO, seeking the very kinds of Shed lines that bikers abhor

WG v.4

far better than expected
about 11" during the week
surprise cold smoke lake effect overnight

our host leads the way to a cool descent
thanks M & D

Hey, let's go ski Driftland next weekend

WG v.3

Todd gettin' his first White Grass turns in

Cheryl & Julie at the bottom of what I thought was Snaggletooth.
whatever it's called, it was cool, and it looks like there's more like it nearby

untouched and untried
why??

Huge thanks again to the Buchness'!

so good once again

more Cupcakes feel the hook

not a bad place to ski

I left the Nikon in the car or coulda brought back some decent pixels of how much snow was away from the parking lot
glad i finally got there and checked that box. it was a good day for a quicky, and now I know what could be there

don't know what this is

but I expect it's going viral
