tarka Started a new thread WOOD LIPS

8/18/2014 12:05pm
I now have a nice step-up mulch landing in my yard, and I need to build a decent wood lip to go with it... Does anyone have plans or just basic numbers for good wood lips, like the kind at AT showdown? ..maybe not quite that large, but any plans will scale... things like take off angle and curve radius...

All shot on lo-fi GoPro cameras, wide and normal. Most not rider-POV shots are from sticking the cameras in trees or in the ground....

tarka Added a new video From Steel

Filmmaker Michael John Evans sets out to visually portray “the zone” which one enters when their craft is honed. Sean Walling, owner of Soulcraft, builds top notch custom steel bicycle frames. This short film documents Sean’s fabrication methods: a well choreographed dance of experience and muscle memory producing a seemingly effortless ode to process. From Steel: invites the viewer into Sean’s machine shop for an up close and personal look at the work that results in yet another awesome Soulcraft. Musical score provided by the internationally praised duo, Mattson 2. Courtesy of Galaxia Records. Directed by: Michael John Evans: michaeljohnevans.com...

If you want to avoid going OTB so much, lose that long stem and go to a 35-50mm stem. Longer than 50 and you're guaranteed to eat sh*t when dropping steeps.

The intro was the best part... I was expecting some seriouly horizontal riding after that, but it was mostly riding past really tall piles of dirt. Still awesome....
