I had a conference day yesterday, so me and the old man hit up belle isle and buttermilk. It was awesome. I got way to lucky too many times.

Hey man, where do you live? I didn't know we had another semi-crazy rider around.

Where is that last picture? Looks like Forest Hill?

It is. What makes the drop bad is that it has a negative transition. The pavement slopes up and away from the wall. A real Pinkbike special! The hill is technically closed but until it's reclaimed it will remain "rideable".

Hey Danger did you notice the wall drops up at the top? You can drop from 1 to 3 feet depending on where you hit it.

Yah. Theclimb took me forever to walk up on the bricks. I tried the wall and landed right on this like greenblue tube. Extremly stupid of me. the one place I could have messed up.
