Another good airbag session. Ride progression. Many tricks learned. Two bags running. Epic.

Giving back to the Freeride 512 Members for all of their support, we’re having another Air Bag Session. Be sure to get your FR512 Membership Card, helmet (full face if you have one) and plastic pedals with plastic pins as they are required. (the air bag does not like metal pedal pins). We recommend knee pads and bring your dirt jumper bike if you have one. Trail bikes work too, just watch out for the derailleur.
Bag: We’re running a new dual chamber flat pack air bag for this session. Easier to learn tricks, and less intimidating for anyone hoping to try for the first time.
Kicker: The kicker ramp into the bag is 5 feet high, 10 foot radius, calm angle for ease of learning.
Don’t have plastic pedals w/plastic pins? We’ll have Welgo. Raceface. pedals on hand.
Meet at the FR512 Park located at Rocky Hill Ranch accessible by the back gate off Arrowhead Dr.
Bring: bikes, drinks/grub. You must have a Freeride512 waiver filed online with us to participate. Membership

The FR512RHR location has received a significant amount of rain. The dirt is far too muddy and soft for the machine. We’ll be out there Sunday to clean up after the storm and let the dirt dry out. Please give the park a day to dry out. Riding on a mud trail wrecks the trail. It leaves ruts, contributes to erosion and creates an unrideable, hard to fix, trail surface. If you are leaving a visible rut, the trail is too muddy to ride.
Sticks n Bones Trail now has a Low (2 ft), Mid (5 ft), and High (8ft) Line. Feather your brakes as you coast downhill through the trees. North Shore Vibes!
FR512 locations have received several days of rain, and typically need a day to dry out. The dirt at FR512CHURCH jump lines will be slow. Lower parts of the lines at FR512RHR will need more than a day, including the last two kickers sets on Six Pac. Riding on a mud trail wrecks the trail. It leaves ruts, contributes to erosion and creates an unrideable, hard to fix, trail surface. If you are leaving a visible rut, the trail is too muddy to ride.
Weather looks good for Saturday. We’re looking for help with extracting the old wood feature material from the woods and load into a trailer, which will be making several runs. Loading starts at 8am and will make runs until 1pm or so. Plenty of old feature wood is staged and ready to go, and more to pull from the woods. Then ride.
To all riders who love the Six Pac Trail. Be aware the last kicker on Six Pack has been rebuilt, and back to what it was. Smooth pop. Same gap distance. Wider lander.
Shake Down Trail update. Located at the FR512RHR location, the Intermediate progressive jump trail riders love so much. New dirt on the step up kicker over the creek, and two new wood kickers to dirt landers. If you’ve made it through the first four, you’ll want to have a look at these.
The jumps at FR512Church are cleaned up and running again. Trees/branches trimmed back on all lines. Stay tuned. More to come.
