Starting gate:

We just need to lag it down to the start hill.
(There's buried logs that are exposed just for this purpose)

Why not? Many people have ridden it on bmx bikes, it's not that difficult.

because I am not comfortable on my bmx bike, I do not even enjoy it at the bmx track. 20" wheels just don't feel good under me anymore.

What kind is it and what's the model year? I'm always interested in bikes that people don't enjoy riding any more. :D

specialized fatboy 415 or something like that....it's a few years old, but in good shape, wouldn't be overly interested in selling it but would like to trade it for a dirtjumper at some point

AM, you're kidding right? Have you met any of us freerider/bmx types? I mean.... you don't want us swinging shovels at 9am... we're probably still drunk.

Oh, the flyer says 2pm.

I'll probably be out closer to noon tomorrow for trail repairs. I probably need to leave around 4ish. We've (well Kevin mostly) spent a bunch of time out there this week getting things ready. The big important to do list for tomorrow will involve weed eating, tamping the new berms (thank bejebus for the rain), any other repairs needed to finish the start hill. I have some dirt parked near the s-turn I'd like to use to make those berms taller as well.

We have some dirt to play with on the pump track and over by the old jump line. We could do some work there but I am not going to stress over that if the slalom course is ready.

I'll have the mmba trailer which has two, but an extra wouldn't hurt. I would be nice to do the slalom track and the pump track. A full on weed attack/slaughter would be nice.
