So I've been retro building a trail near town for a few weeks now. It gives me such a good feeling of accomplishment and something to do when its raining. I dont like going super fast on huge motocross style hits, I prefer skinnies and high bridges with drops. Sadly, it seems like nobody is building slow stunted trails.
These are some things i have been working on.

bridge to roll to drop

flow bridge to drop

The referenced post has been removed.


agreed, pinkbike would be the best place to talk bike, but I find the NS community to be more resourceful and entertaining. I was also looking for skinnies videos.
Props for trailbuilding!

Sucks what happened to Sam Brown. That kid could have gone on to big things.

I used to build bridges/skinnys/teeters on some private trails back in MN. Most of the features would only survive a few brutal winters before needing replacement, so I ended up losing the motivation.

I still enjoy some elevated features and skinnys, but enjoy most of my time on tech singletrack these days.

Birch and Bruce is terrible to use. Cedar is the longest lasting wood, with a life expectancy of 10 years. I always have access issues
