So when Sparky came down to ride, he began following me all the way down the line. We were running trains for hours, going slow, going fast, and mixing it up. I followed a little far behind him and he was going fast. As I was jumping into the 360 berm he was coming out. The jump isn't tall enough to jump over another person, but we were really close.

Some guy came out and was taking pictures, and I think he happened to get the picture of Sparky bailing off of his bike as I tried to jump over him. He wanted to get some other pictures so we kept riding for a little while longer. I only wish that somebody had taken pictures of the trains, but all we had were us two to take photos of each other and here are some of them.

Jumping #5 into the 360 berm (timing on camera is difficult b/c you can't see the person coming)

But he was just going a little too fast and too hard! This ended a great day of riding.
This is the set after the 360 berm (the landing that is)

coming off of #6 is a roller into a right hand berm (the end of the berm will be 4ft lower in elevation than the beginning with a lip coming out of the whole going for a 15ft long step up)
