update, trail

Part three, extended this line off to the left just before the steep turn/downhill. also had some balance and control practice today and i think i’m getting the hang of bike control.

came out today after torrential downpour proceeding weeks without rain, so i had to get work in. just an update, ground will be great tomorrow. hopefully i have the energy.

and the first curve on the last pic was made rounder and wider after this flick. also berm in turn 1 in the first 2 flicks is still progress.

second opinions?

Sorry to let you guys down. but after close consideration and even a new launch line, i cannot ride this 😢

any tips of how i can make this trail rideable for an armature/beginner? i know it may be hard work but ive already but so much into this.

here are some new angles. I believe maybe now some of you may agree i have messed up in the construction part of this. everything is still rough and messy due to no rain and constant altering. can i get some second opinions?

i know this may be rideable to skilled cyclists but im no black diamond pro unfortunately. i built this to get started with mtb but even if i cant use it id be more than happy to see someone else come bomb this. thanks guys. Douglasville, GA USA btw.

is this rideable

Never rode a single mtb trail, just purchased my first mtb but I don’t have any trails around so i’m building my own to start.

But i think i may have bit off more than i can chew. is this trail even “rideable” or do you suppose it’s a skill issue?

however I am extremely determined to finish it and bomb it on my ozark trail vibe hardtail 27.5 Yes

Worth it?

For this price at $190 i’m thinking hell yess, but i think the maxis tires and the good look of the bike are kind of catfishing me. what do you guys think? also youtube is on the fence about the quality of this bike, and no tapered head tube?

shorkie passing

repost because my first account had no karma or something, anyways…

The family shorkie that I have despised for years.. and have been forced to take care of for months after my father decided HE would keep it and care for if after my younger siblings (main, though absolutely shitty caretakers) left for half a year, has passed away suddenly tonight due to a cardiac complication. my two younger brothers are heartbroken, the mood is heavy around the house and i’m sure my mom is pretty upset as well but I will give her a call soon.

either way, I can’t stand small dogs but shorkies and any yorkshire GMO abominations are at the top of that list. everything about them, I hate. from their entitled attitude, inability to listen, lack of respect and potty training potential, stupid bulging eyes and tiny dumb legs, the way they waddle and jump around with their stupid little paws stretched out in the air. running around barking in their high pitched intolerable screeches. the way they piss in millions of tiny little sections each time to “claim their territory.” how they gobble down any amount of food with extreme desperation in any amount without even swallowing, then chug their water without knowing when to stop just to throw it all up in the next 5 minutes. I. Hate. Them. and hate is a strong word but in this case it’s not strong enough.

I took care of this dog adequately, but I was never fond of him nor did I act like it. cleaning up piss and shit everyday. always changing ripped puppy pads. watching him eat and drink then cleaning his puke anyways.

I really feel like I should feel bad. It feels wrong that I’m almost relieved. But I just cannot be sad that this fella has passed on. He was nothing but a nuisance. My african father would complain everyday about this dumb dog for years and when we can finally get rid of him he decides to “take care of him” which of obviously meant to make me do it so he can feel good about keeping the dog for my mom and siblings. enough of the personal problems, yeah I just do not feel bad that he is gone. just a little, and it’s the pure fact that death is sad, the feeling of absence when something’s been here so long, and of course the sadness of my family members.. but the shorkie? not so much. I just have to accept the fact that I am in some aspect- an evil person because I basically do not care.

TL;DR — don’t care that the beloved family shorkie passed on, do I suck
