our backyard farm bike park
As I mentioned, we built a mountain bike park in our yard a couple days ago. We were watching some videos, and we wanted a chance to practice some skills without having to go all the way out to the woods, so it seemed like the thing to do. And it was super fun! The only sad part is we couldn't leave it up because it would kill the grass, and we want grass for other things. But before we took it down this morning, Harvey and me shot a video.
You can see that it's made out of a bunch of takes, but I assure you that he cleared the whole course a couple of time during the filming—all but the ramp over the table you see him pass by at around the forty second mark. That thing is terrifying! He fell pretty hard on his one attempt at it, and so did Zion's friend's dad who I encouraged to try the course (I felt a little guilty).
We really wish we owned some woods, or at least a hill. If we had a hill I think we'd have already decided to sacrifice the lawn in the name of better rides. Oh well. At leas the real trails are only a couple minutes away.
[By the way, Harvey has come a little ways since his last solo biking video... to say nothing of his first!]
