With all the madness going on with threatening closures, and actual closures of trails on public and privet land. Like what happened with North Fork, and the almost closure of Galbraith Mountain (still undetermined future). I find myself taking a step back to the past and putting some love in at my original riding spot. Conway jumps is a small Private piece of land where I got my first opportunity to build some decent flow lines with jumps, bridges, and berms. This place means a lot to me, as I have spent hundreds of hours digging, riding, and hanging out with good friends. It is a rare occurrence that one can find a place that the owners are completely okay with you digging dirt jumps and building bridges up in the trees.Local Organic Farmers Gary and Star who's daughter has been an avid rider/racer in all the disciplines of mountain biking, are about as cool as people come and believe in the old ways of hand shake agreements over a cold one in the woods. I have been very fortunate to maintain this handshake user agreement and have worked very hard to keep my privet spot going by following the simple rules. No trash, don't cut any live trees, and no one comes out without permission.One of the funnest features I ever built was a medium sized "step up step down" (SUSD), that feeds into a nice "roller bridge drop". Due to the lack of quality timber laying on the ground I have used a lot of 2X4s over the years. the roller bridge drop has a nice angle and cants a bit to the right as you field goal between two trees before dropping off.The SUSD is not a huge move, anyone who can fairly jump a bike can pull it off. That's probably why it is so much fun. A good move, with little stress.. Last fall, a large alder finely gave way and dropped it's top right through the SUSD destroying it completely. It was getting about time to replace anyways, so this was just fine with me. Rebuilding wasn't the challenge. The alder was wedged up in the maple, and leaning right over the feature. this was a sketchy tree to remove.We had Paul climb up and take the top just past the maple off, that was no problem. Then Luna did an under cut, leaving the rest of the tree sitting on the SUSD. Two more cuts to go which ended up leaving a good 6 foo piece of the tree stuck up in the maples, probably for a very long time.Once the structure was down we had a ceremonial burning of the old bridge that provided us with so many years of fast, fun flow.This spot is less of a line of dirt jumps, and less of a trail. It is some sort of hybrid flow track that has Fast, Features with Flow. (FFF) with a good chilling or camping spot is the best way to describe Conway. I spend about $200 on treated 4X4s, and some nice 2X4s to rebuild the structure. The new SUSD, will measure 16 feet long, by about 4 1/2 feet wide, and about 5-6 feet off the ground. This one should out last the other by many years, unless the old maple decides to shed a few limbs...Felt like a fairly productive day at the old zone, and there is a lot more dirt work to do to get this place up to standard. The finished product looks and rides great (more riding photos to come next week). We are almost ready to do some bike camping with lots of FFF and good times on the new SUSD.I guess the point of this story is to be sure to remember where you came from and to keep as many different places to ride in riding condition. I am certainly not abandoning any of my current projects. It was just time to take break to maintain a nice after work riding spot, that I have managed to keep open with communication and a good old fashioned "hand shake over a cold one" user agreement.
