Hey Lee,
I am thinking about taking a job in San Diego. Do you know of any good dirt jump parks in the area? Of course accessibility to dirt jumps and good mtb trails is more important than how much I will like the job …
Thanks, Jason

Hi Lee. Just wanted to pass on a good news story. We built a cool little pump track in our backyard a couple of years ago and have had a great time on it. A lot of the neighborhood kids stop by to take a few laps, too. My two sons and a couple of their friends dreamed about having a local dirt jump park to ride on. This crew planned everything out, did some internet research, and called the city council to schedule a meeting to pitch their idea. …

Lee,

It has come to my attention that people often ask questions about dirt quantities for dirt jumps. I can come up with numbers for this. Basically it’s a routine that is used for civil engineering for building roads and such. It just needs to be applied for dirt jumps. I have been involved with one project thus far and have a second one coming up. If you want you can direct people my way.

Lee,

Is there a formula for figuring out the best height, length, curvature and angle of a jump to achieve the longest distance and height? And what would be the differences if you had the angle of the take off at say 35, 45 and 55 degrees?

You might recall our relocating a huge pile of dirt at The Fix jumps to satisfy the city of Boulder. That was a heck of a project, and — guess what — we get to do it again.

The City of Boulder has been trying to get rid of The Fix’s dirt jumps since they were built. We’ve already spent thousands interpreting the law and moving invisible lines. A few weeks ago, we had to move a huge pile of dirt.

Hey, I was looking over your site and saw the story about legalized dirt jump parks, and then saw there was one in Pleasanton, California. I was wondering if you had the address of that place, because I looked online and couldn’t find it. Thanks!

During our downhill camp a couple weeks ago, we took the SMBA monkeys downhilling at Vail, then we got some Slurpees and went dirt jumping. The dudes tore it up. If only they could be this confident around girls their age …
