Hahaha. Anyway, after our awesome Florey jumps ride I decided to go over to the jumps near my house, that i hadn't been to for at least 5 years. They are in pretty poor condition but I am really keen to rebuild them so there are 3 flowy lines for beginner to good people. I don't think anyone really rides them anymore so rebilding them wouldn't anger anyone and there is plenty of stuff to support the jumps with. Should be a good project.

I took the camera along and took some photos:

i think i need a bmx to become cool.

[alex markwart]

I think you do too. If we do go Joel I will bring along some spades and a pick and we will make them better. Does anyone know any other decent dirt jumps apart from Monash, Kaleen and Florey?

[Craprock]

where does the bunting go?

[AlexPV]

issacs used to have some pretty cool ones, ill go have a looksee with the camera if you wish.

[alex markwart]

that would be cool. here is a picture of me, it was done with the self timer at monash so it isn't the best.

[alex markwart]

just took some photos of the new and improved jumps i made. photos turned out well and there is one at the end of me on my first practice run. they are still small at this stage but as i get better i will make them bigger. enjoy.

When shall we ride Joel? It doesn't have to be at Monash.

Alex, just build up your Rhino to surpass BMX coolness (rigid of course) with chain device etc. Dirt is da bomshizzle. Enjoy the jumps while you can because they will all be pulled down in the fullness of time.

In the spirit of Markwars post, here is my Datto now;



In reality I actually just bought some SU's and put them on for increased efficiency for snow trips, etc.

So i decided to buy a bmx and build some jumps in my backyard, i was jumping and taking shots for about an hour then i hit a powerline. Here are the pics:

Also i had to change my name yesterday because of fear.

My new name is Ricardo. Also goes with my new metrosexual personality i just developed.

I HATE you for not resizing the pictures alex, you cunt.

Nice 1600! we used to have 3 ;D I didnt realise they had so little horsepower.... but when i think about it, they are an old engine AND 1.6l 4cyl.... They are still great fun in the dirt tho!

Peace

I think we should ride at Monash next week sometime. I'm keen. Looks great.

Anyway I agree, AlexPV should convert that rhino (if he still has it?) to a DJ/street machine.

I can contribute BB, cranks, chainring, headset, forks, handlebars, tyres and brakes. Also I have a WI rear hub I can loan indefinitely, built to a free rim and spokes I'll snafu from Ash.

It's OK Alex, let us help you. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I just went for a fix the jumps/ride at Monash this morning (6:30am) and it was awesome. I really need to take some water because no matter how well i crafted jumps they were soft as shit. Now onto the cool shit.

I cleared the one directly in shot and the one in line with it behind the trees. I was too scared to do these last time.


Then i went on to this set. First jump:


Second jump:


Then i thought, fuck it, I'm on a roll why not try this one:


But just before all that i tried turning around and my park slick wiped out and i did this, somehow i didnt hurt myself:


And not long after i stacked it just as hard but with no rippage going around here:



Now I need to learn how to do tricks...
