Title: Lake jumping yesterday in the sun. changed the link to youtube, top quality now.
Post by: rakas17 on April 26, 2011, 12:04 AM

its in pitstone which is a little place near tring. the roll in had two places to start from and the fast roll in was ridiculous and made it impossible to hold on when you hit the little tight transition we made, the slower roll in was better for trying flips, i nearly had it round a couple of times but the jump still isnt very steep compared to a dirt jump. i reckon i could do it on dirt :daumenhoch:

enjoy...

Sorry pete, didn't think of letting you know. Next time I will. We need to build on it so it's not such a tight transition, then hopefully its less likely to ping you off. There's been a jump there since last years effort. We made it bigger though, I guess we'll keep adding to it everytime we go.

Hertfordshire, I think??? It's a bit of a Bermuda triangle of Herts beds and bucks. What's on your address pete?
Anyway, Drive past tring train station with it on your right, then do the first left. When you come to a roundabout park on the grass on the right and walk into the woods. As you walk through the trees the quarry will just appear, it's a pretty amazing place.

Joe just watch the vid on Facebook, how deep is that landing area?  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Lake jumping yesterday in the sun.
Post by: rakas17 on April 26, 2011, 02:17 PM
dunno, deep enough. the first 6 foot of water is shallow then it drops away. i heard rumours that in the middle its super deep like 100 foot or something. probably rubbish but it is a doug out quarry so who knows. anyway, where you land from our jump the depth isnt an issue! you up for a sesh next time its on?

yeah but snowboarding is what i do, i rarely ride a bmx. you'll be fine. we talked a random fat kid into doing it. he was just passing with a bunch of mates and some beers and we told him he'd have legendary status amongst his peers if he did it. fairplay to him, no other randoms tried it all day, quite a few passed us but all were like "fook that, you lot are nutters"!!

whats wrong with kids today? they'll only get dangerous if its on a games console?!?

Get involved. On the next session I'll put a shout on here to see who's keen. The more the merrier. If everyone brings a spade we can make it huge in no time.  :daumenhoch:

Sounds like a plan to me mate :D

I potentially could get a few mates to come film a session and make a nice edit too, as i know folk into that. Could easy end up with a really cool video :)
