Im heading up tomorrow. ive got a new idea for a line.....but ill have to explain and point a lot. Are you digging the new burm with the kicker in front of it? Could you build the back of the berm up so you can hit the kicker flow over the back of the burm and keep the speed to hit the river gap eventually. Doers that make any sense?

If youre about sunday come say hi, i think with that launch were going to build it with a flat top so its more of a step off into the berm rather than a jump!

Ha thats just a matter of speed, if its flatter just go faster, but it would be good to keep the line through to the bridge open as you need a fair bit of flow to hit it

There was has been talk once the burm has been finished then a landing can be builtoff the back.of it. i have beefed up some of the landings to the jumps.leading up to it too. not got too keen just so they run better.

I dont think jumping the berm would would really help, you have the small jump after the two berms and a berm after that!
Plus theres a fair distance between the last berm and the river jump
We built up the launch into the berm we built but we've got to re-angle it!
And we beefed up the landing for the northshore drop oha left hand line.

I plan to try and find my way to the place this weekend either the 10th or 11th depending on when people will be down there.

I have no idea how to get there so anyone that can show me would be great if not I'll just find a way to the hospital nad look for it.

I'm coming from Chingford and will be riding.

Wow! Was he ok?
I believe he may have been the first to go down on the drop?
The drops were getting a good ride last Sunday, I even managed to x-up that small one :)

On a side note, this isn't directed at anyone in particular but,
as on the video a lot of people seem to be hanging up, stopping on launches etc adn putting ruts in the jumps.

We need to start getting people used to the thing of if you damage it repair it!

Only takes a couple of seconds and the jumps stay nice and fresh :thumbup:

He was okay after he got over the pain of smashing his balls on the stem, had a small bruise on shoulder but other then that was fine

after we finished riding it we grabbed a rake and shovel and smoothed all the ruts out and filled in the rider shaped hole ;)
