Trails don't build themselves….

Are log rides dead? I don't think so,if your willing to put in the time. Even old logs can be cool! The log was actually rotted I had to put in a piece of stringer and pin it in to save this important feature on the trail.

While it would be SUPER awesome to get paid .. I just like doing it.. I was never a painter or musician.. This is my art its interactive, gets people outside having fun.. A couple yrs ago i was riding dnz. I got down to the jumps and there was half a dozen guys there for a stag.. They were hiking back up and sessioning the jumps…i thought that was pretty good.. I said hello and rode thru.. Looked like everybody was havn fun.. Last fall my buddies kid texted me, He was stoked as he was hittn the gdrop.. Payment enough for the day..
