Cedar Slats For Next Year’s Bridges
Well next year there will be some pretty heady bridge building going on; and luckily for me some of the spots are quite accessible. Furthermore, 3 huge cedar trees fell down on the property so I have been converting them into ’slats’ (cedar boards) for the bridges I plan on building next year. I have some fairly ambitious roller coaster type bridges I would like to build. I envision a series of rolling ups and downs that give riders a rush without ever being much higher than 8 feet off the ground. I’m hoping to build it so it can be ridden fast or slow; maybe with some airtime or not….
The particular trail this series of bridges will be build on already has a lot of flow and berminess; so the roller coaster of all time (hopefully about 600 meters long) will give it a unique and creative ending.
Love live cedar bridges!!

Came across your site via RideMonkey’s story on you. Giving it SERIOUS consideration for a trip. Your points are valid about the really knar stuff not getting ridden as much. Most “extreme” trails with crazy drops, etc. are over my head as far as ability. I’d have SO much fun on long, fast, and flowy stuff though! (and although I don’t consider myself to be too bad of a rider, I’m sure you have some stuff that would still be at the top of my progression during a stay!) LOVE your truck, BTW….I’ve been a Toyota guy for YEARS….. hoping to be rolling over some of those slats sometime in the future!
