A oldie but a goodie, and a newie goodie
The trails 2 summers ago. A lot has changed. Note: only two lines, there's no jump after the tight berm, there are no rollers next to the big hip, and the line is over after the big hip.
The best part is that more changes are on the way.
The second best part is that All Time Highs are finally here.

We jumped the sled chair
It was awesome. It's still snowing by the way. Should be until Friday, so woohoo.
Jumping the sled with a broken wrist was a bad idea, and unfortunately it was at night, so no pictures or video.
I thought this was sweet. Turn down the volume, though.

Snow
Aaron and I have both been enjoying our respective vehicles in the snow. Very fun. TEAM_ROBOT assembled to make snowROBOTS.
I also used the downtime to craft the perfect snow machine:
Being already broken, my dad volunteered to break himself instead. Maiden voyage: successful. It goes damn fast. And he did two unintentional 360's. Safety first.

All that work paid off.
Here is a random kid DYING off of our drop in LO. I almost shat my pants.
The slow mo at 200 seconds is the best ever.
A little background-
Team Robot has a pinkbike account. That's pretty lame, whatever. We suck.
After our jumps in Lake Oswego got plowed, the city gave us a totally sweet gravel pit to dig trails in. We didn't realize it was a quarry when we started, we just thought, hey, cool, a big opening with tall rocky cliffs around it.
We made a 15 foot tall drop off of one of the rock faces.
We gave up on that spot 4 years ago, and haven't been back since.
Today, I got a friend request from one, "bikerboyac." It said, "Hey you guys wanna ride some time?"
No.
I almost instantly deleted the friend request (TEAM ROBOT has no friends), but then I thought, "hey, why not laugh at them first?"
Turns out, "Bikerboyac" lives in Lake Oswego. He had a video called "My worst crash this season." Best video I've ever seen.
Same drop, better angle:
All that work was worth it to watch one prepubescent cyclist scream "fuck" for 20 vertical feet.
