Why would anyone not like pump tracks? That has to be the most fun you can have in your back yard.

Man ,that does look fun. You moved some serious dirt there dude. Looks like you are in Brooklyn instead of Florida. I'm dusting off my jump bike as we speak! Since you built the landing can I sue if I get hurt? ;D
 
What is that structure by the way? Anyone around to kick you out?

uber, thanks
 
cat, the structure is over the creek, its about 20x20 and currently you have to walk up.  if i can get a clear run in and some better dirt for the kicker, i would like to step up onto it.  bring the bike when you come over to get parts, i have a ton of cool little features on my towny ride.  i should be around tonight if you want to grab that stuff.  so far i have only done about 2 hours of digging, hopefully no more.

I can't seem to actually grow any grass in my back yard so doing something like this. Maybe a few log jumps and stuff to practice on.  ???

Win a golden GT

Pretty cool contest - win the race, win the pimped out golden GT bike, but to keep the bike, you need to keep on winning the races in the series.

The contest kinda has a NI feel to it...seems like something he would do.
