I shoot in protune and underexpose a bit and then a bunch of magic in post :)

Do you use PP or AE?  If so, I don't suppose you'd divulge the effects you use to bring it up to light?

I'm using davinci resolve to edit and grade. It's very good and free.

Nice, I'll check it out.

Back on topic, D1 is looking amazing.  It should probably be named D2.. so much work done. Entrance has changed and and even I might be able to handle it without looking like a moron.

D1 is the smallest excavator aka a human. It used to be symbolic of the trail being handbuilt.  I would say it's ironic at this point.

Blueberry opens tomorrow  barring some unforeseen bloodbath. Pretty stoked about this, it's probably one of the longer uninterrupted stretches of all new (not repurposed) trail we've put out for a while. Anyone still unaware of the trail head can find it just slightly uphill of the exit of fatcrobat on expressway. If coming down expressway from creek gondi, it's just below the breakover below the exit of little alter.

D1 still a ways out but coming along. Still needs a bunch of testing and hand tooling.

Nice! I'll be checking that out tomorrow :D 

Any word on TOTW opening? Buddy has never ridden it, it'd be nice to show him!

Some of those berm jumps look very tight.  Hope I don't fuck up too bad.

Any guesses as to how long a lap D1 will be?  60 seconds?

It's going to be a very technical jump line. There's not a ton of margin and if you mess up any feature, your run is over. Either flow it all or pull over and start walking. Time estimate of 60 seconds is probably fair, maybe even a touch high. It's not terribly long although it packs some value. I would advise caution as it will be a fairly significant departure from any of the other offerings currently on the plate. There's some fancy ol' dance moves in there.

Can't wait.

Blueberry is a lot longer than I thought it'd be.  Still soft in parts but lots of fun.

Hope it makes it through its soft phase.

No rain in the forecast makes it less than ideal for riding in the trail but tis what it is

Blueberry has dried out in most spots and is hella fun. 

The grouse on the hill have banded to together to really fuck with me.  I've never really noticed them before, and now they're hanging out in the weirdest spots like someone placed a statue there (Dirty rock drop, just past Fat/In Deep entrance on BV).  Feels like they're waiting for me and silently judging my riding.  Jerks.

Aline by ez bridge is beat to fucking hell.  But I really like that last jump, which is still riding great, so I persist.

Almost pulled into the new Golden Triangle after doing a garbo FT/Duffman hotlap until my tired brain realized it ain't open. 

SGC & DFX in full effect.. lin

Forgot to add.. what the hell is up with the wind in Garbo this season. Twice I've almost been completely tripped on that bloody little double before the Freight Train bridge... it feels like it's amplified just for that ten foot area. So weird. Then when you fly over the bridge, that step down to jump is pretty much impossible with the wind.

I've noticed that last jump on ALine can be wind effected at times too, but I'd say that one is much more rare.

Hey Red, do the grouse hold up score cards as you pass? Ya know, like 9.8, 9.9 etc.

Oh yeah.  I've only managed to break 3.6.
