to buck- yeah i know, and I do not mean to detract from its attendance. I have school in the morning and cant get down there for the race.

to paul- yeah I havent been out there since last fall, has it go in worse shape? will they care if we build on it?

thanks, jeff

[rideharder]

i dont know if they care, it is a city park. i would say contact them, i know that i would stop and ride there more if it were in better shape

Psh, dirt? you a mtn biker or something? lame.:eyeroll:

Everyone knows that Hopkins is where its at. jk go where you want.

Dang this is becoming like a political debate haha.

[TrailSquirell]

sure i like it park, but... dirts always more fun, doesn't hurt so much when you fall and doesn't tear your bike apart... haha

[wanderingrobots]

okay so for saturday bring shovels and if anyone has any portable ramp type objects that would be great if you could bring them. yeah but meet at two still probably go until 5 or 6. See you there

oh and does anyone need directions

[Gus]

how do we get there and us ut st or sun.....cause your post says st but your date says 8 which is sun

Drive West on Hwy 12 until you get there. You will enter Maple Plain, track is by fire station on the left of the Hwy. Look it up on google or yahoo maps. Maple Plain is pretty small.....so it's easy to find.

Last I heard the city just kind of left it for kids to go ride. I think they don't mind if you dig some either. Bringing launches out there might attract more attention than you want. I say stick with shovels and make the best of it. If you keep doing these meetings every week or so, it will get pretty dialed.

Have fun!!

wouldn't it be a little more exciting to get a few mtn bikers to monkey or one of the other spots? I have only driven by the maple plain spot, looks like it might get a little boring after a couple laps. I'd be down for other spots-

just a thought,

The problem with Monkey is that it's do or die there. Not many riders are good enough to actually have fun there. I would love to ride a place that had a variety of jumps and skills. I can jump a lot of the stuff at Monkey....but it's hairy. A good medium sized table would be fun the throw down on. By medium I mean 4-5 feet high and 10 - 12 feet long....maybe a little longer depending on the lip.

I think Maple Plain would be a perfect place to build this stuff.

alright sorry to have to say this but I am calling this event. Everyone I talked to is either going to memorial or hopkins. Sorry for the inconvenience. The event in hopkins is starting at 2 today, the same time as when this one was, so If you already had this time blocked off to go riding please go to hopkins. I feel like an idiot for not checking the racing schedule. I should have called this off earlier.


But... A location that already has a license and insurance.. but needs repair. is anyone else thinking PUMP TRACK????
