a long time ago i had an idea for a rather crazy stunt that involved having to do a trackstand on a platform while it swung in a half circle. it was gonna be on the second log ride on my trail between those two sections that seem to be ramps to no-where:
but eventually came to the conclusion that even if i could get it to work the way i envisioned there's maybe a handful of people on the planet who could actually pull it off. so i decided i'd just make that section a skinny instead and link together a bunch of straight sections to make a half circle. funnily enough there's one dude i've seen who will hit the log and ride onto the first ramp then do a couple of rear wheel hops to get back onto the log to do the drop. it's kind of motivated me to get this section finished to give him something more to ride so thanks to whomever you are!
while wandering the forest a couple months back i found something that offered me a ton of possibilites for evil genius type creativity. so i decided to put it to use for the ramps to no-where as it would be a much better solution than using straight sections tagged together. after ripping it in half this is what i was left with:
unfortunately they don't quite match up with the two ramps i'd like to connect them to, but with some creative saw work i can get them to fit like it's one continuous piece. i also have another, shorter and tighter curved log that i could use as well and am debating on having one big arc made with just those two pieces above or using the other section and creating something that would be like a big s, kinda like this:
whaddya think is best? just use one big arc and use the other curved log for something else or combine the two for one really trick skinny line?
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
