Track updates completed Labor Day weekend. The flow of the track is dramatically improved with these changes.  The technical level went from an 8-9 to 6-7 and the fun factor went from a 6-7 to a 9-10.  See the video posted in the lower right corner to see how you can now carry a good rhythm through the same areas that used to beet the tar out of you.

Taking out first bump/hump after finish line that interrupts your flow.

Old section following finish line, look behind the skid steer and compare to the picture to the right.

Replaced the three jumps with a nice plateau so you can now carry a rhythm into the rollers.  Also shaved about two feet off the rollers that now follow this plateau.

Here is another before and after pic of the three awkward rollers now converted to a plateau after the finish line.

MISSING PIC

My son Carter standing in the rhythm section after the big sweeper.  We cut the tops by a foot and filled in the belly of each by a foot.  Total change almost two feet.  Before the change all you could see it his head.

The step down over by the road now has a 15 foot plateau on the top rather than just a hump so there is no longer a "bounce effect".  We also squared off the corner before the step down which made a bigger difference than changing the jump itself.  See video.

Video of the changes.  And a couple of old vet guys testing the changes - if these guys can do it - we should look and feel faster!
