synapsis
(newb with family trailing behind poach private dirt jumps, is sneaky and tries to do the smallest jump of the line ejects from dope ass bike scraps knee mommy calls 911 and gets air lifted out of quarry)
and now it is all gone
cuz some fat kid got a Specialized Big Hit, but no helmet, and brought it out of the garage
(ethnicities and stereotypes will be discussed at a later date)
Where do you ride?
If any of you have ever rode at Skytop Quarry ( Jamesville, NY, outside of syracuse) then you know how many years of brute labor it has taken to make some of the best trails and downhihill, dirtjumps ladders, ledges banks hips pumptrack courses i have ever seen in my years of biking the Adirondacks. Albany 518 area, Southern Vermont or West Virginia
Everytime someone new goes there for the first time, they immediately want to know what kind of carpenters, craftsman, and dreamers built dozens of ladders and moved so much earth
There are so many features and lines i doubt any induvidual truely knows every build or setup
Hundreds of jumps, yeah many of them need rebuilding, but the idea and labor has already been done
There has to be atleast 20 different pumptracks on the premisis, and atleast 3 drops over 15 feet- both manmade and natural quarry
So many square miles of the best jumps,steepest continous lines, huge ladders and massive box jumps and now there is a fully embanked out ZZZZZZ downhill run. it is so nice i can ride it on my brakeless /claim
