I can finally cross the Exit Drop off of my huckit list
It was exactly what I expected… nothing.
The 8′ tall ladder with about 10′ of gap has been bugging me (along with everyone I ride with) to do it since it was constructed months ago.
Just like everyone said: “It’s nothing”. The back-wheel landing was nice and cushy. I slightly cased the second time but not enough to get that near-death experience.
Some blurry but cool photos from Spring Mount…
Some deer wanted to play chicken on the Orange trail in Green Lane. I won that game, but the deer won the high-air comp.
I can appreciate trees. Their size, their strength, their beauty – and I appreciate them even more when they’re uprooted and horizontal in the woods. They are much easier to ride after they’ve been downed by strong winds.
The next time you find a nice tree-ride, give that tree a hug for providing you with some fun.
I haven’t ridden in Wissahickon for a few years, but my friends Chad and Rob have been hyping these trails for a couple of weeks.
The sections that we rode were chock full of jumps, drops, long log rides and berms. A playground for peddlers, the “BMX bowl,” has a drop into, and launches out of it, and a bunch of doubles, log jumps and giant tabletop.
I now have some new New Year’s resolutions…
