I'm going to try make it but it's touch and go whether I'm going to get away from work in time.

Sorry Eric... work says no... Mondays are tough.

BTW... I was there Saturday with a buddy of mine. We ran it counter-clockwise once, then clockwise twice. Have you tried it clockwise? It's actually pretty cool... finishes really well.

You all missed me doing a trip over the bars, proving (definitively) that it is, in fact, possible to endo at SWDP. 

It was the harmless little log pile that you could roll. It had eroded more than we thought and something snagged the rear wheel and caused the front wheel to plunge down. 

We rebuilt it a little and rolled it four or five times after that. So it's good to go again. Maybe on Saturdays workday we ran replace that stuff with hardwood and pack it in with soil.

The guy behind me had a pretty good view of the crash. If you find yourself laughing when you land, all is well...

How early is feasible today? 
5:30?
Earlier is better for me.

Weekdays are almost impossible for me. I was there last weekend and captured some video. Go easy on me... I know it's pretty rough...  Tongue

I was out there today - the thread is old so I didn't notice it until just now. I could tell someone had been out there because there were no spiderwebs. 

I hope everyone enjoys the new features. I'll post up a new workday soon so we can iron out some rough spots and polish that tabletop a little. 

Great video. Would you mind writing a trail review on the trails page and maybe posting it there?

Spiderwebs weren't too bad on my first pass on Monday. I think I only hit one actually. I like the new tabletop. It's in a location that carries a lot of speed, and I definitely cleared it by a good bit on my second lap. If the weather stays as is, I'll try to make it out there on Mondays at 5:30 until daylight savings ends.
