maybe if JS gets a movin', there will be an upcoming article on it…BTW that step up is way better if used as a hip. You'll see…

When I was getting my arm looked at by the EMT he told me he was working on a trail nearby that had a bridge 1/3 km long! He said he was gonna call it "old school" since he couldn't use power tools to build it(cause of the fire danger). This was three weeks ago so it should be done by now. Anyone ride this yet?

Rode it on Tuesday. You enter off of Hornet [HTML_REMOVED] it's just one long ladder bridge with a steep rollout at the end. Pretty cool, but not too exciting. It shakes a little, which makes it interesting.

I'm quitting organized crime; from now on I'll stick to the regular kind.

You might want to be up there around the th 22nd.;) I'm not saying I heard a rumour that they are opening up the upper runs this year to give people a taste of what's to come. I'm just saying….

Old School is open?

On the 24th it wasn't.

Where does it end… to me it looked like it was just an alternate line from the Hornet "rockface" (if you can call it that) to the end…

So it's lower than the Hornet exit?

I can't think it goes much lower…. but then again I can't figure out how they could fit 333m of bridge inside the lower half of Hornet.
