back in the early eighties before vert take offs and landin ramps were the order of the day thats all i used to do, loved it,h/pool track had some class jumps on there spent my life down there just jumpin(check avatar). trails are a bit harsh, cant get used to dippin the front end to land, dippin the front was somethin you avoided in the olden days when i was a lad, of course all this where feilds back then....... and you could leave your door open....... :LolLolLolLol:
