Got out for an easy play type ride with Rightcoaster and Randi last night. Jamie (Rightcoaster) showed us the new trail system being worked on at Camp Shepard. Only about 2 miles of trail has been cut with more to come. Trials are still really soft and need a lot of traffic to get them riding better. The cool thing is there are tons of large rock features along the trail, and once the main trail is cut they will start developing the play / free ride lines.
After the quick tour of the trail and potential features we headed over the actual camp to play on some log rides and tent platforms. I was having some mechanical issues anytime I tried to wheelie drop, could have been bad if I was trying to drop anything large. The rear was really skipping anytime I put power down. I am at a loss because I just replaced the rear derailleur and hanger and they each only have two rides one them. I also had the bike tuned after I installed the new stuff. The only good thing that came out of this was that I got to play a bit on Jamies EWR..such a nice bike!
Here is a short video that Randi took with her Phone of Jamie doing his thang
