Windsor Dirt Jumps Re-build, 4th July
Thanks to Eric and the council’s bob-cat and extra soil, today was an awesome and fun day had by all. The bob-cat was used to build a 6 pack right next to the 8 pack. The 8 pack has been worked on to make it more trickable. The mini 4 pack 2nd jump was turned into one single table top with some transitions.
This is the additional 6 pack
This is the new tabletop
Thanks to all the crew who showed up and gave a hand in this success.
More pics from the day can be found here
Revolution Freeride is a very cool site, focusing on freeriding with hardtails. This site definitely is a cool spot to head over to if your into dirt jumping / urban (which you are, this is why you are here duh!).
Probably the best part about the site would be the monthly update E.Magazine, which you can hit up at http://www.revolutionfreeride.com/revfr2003/main/revfrmag.asp. This month it is checking out Atom Labs, BMX Cranksets, Ironhorse Yakuza Waka Gashira Hardtail (WTF is with Ironhorse names atm!?). They also have a profile on 403 media.
Happy surfing pilgrims.
