Basic Training area build update



We've put in a 3' drop that will make it easier for people to progress from the 2' "Frankenstein" drop to the 4' drop. It was a big leap in skills between 2' and 4' drop, so we decided to put in something to ease the transition. This new drop also sets you up better for hitting the step up (a dirt jump up to a 8' high platform that you drop off from - only about a 4' drop).

A new angled road drop is now complete. Finished putting the rungs on earlier this week. It's steep angle from road makes it psychologically challenging, but the drop and landing is smoother than the other straight 6' drop from road we built a couple month ago. It's a ton of fun to drop from this and gain a lot of speed - heading straight for the large dirt jump. People are clearing 30' of distance on this dirt jump now! I generally just try to clear the wooden part (about 14' out).

See photo gallery of pics taken June 21st of the new 3' drop and towards the bottom some shots of the angled drop.
