Any Dirt jumpers or anyone wanting to give dirt jumping a try, there is a second Bad Ass trail in Denton Texas. The locals and Builders are cool, and welcome new and experienced riders. They won't freak if you case something, and only ask that you can help dig every once in a while (if you have the time).

Its not 9th street YET, but we have a lot going on, a 6ft dirt quarter, several berms, dirt jumps from tiny with tables, to medium or larger size jumps with 15 foot gaps. We don't have any photos posted yet, but they may come soon.

Any one interested in riding there please PM me.

Everyone is welcome. BMX, 24, or 26 29'ers too, I had to add that because we saw a guy flowing on a hardtail Klien race bike, and if his bike can take it, I'm sure some of the 29ers can too.

Good times are to be had

somehow it's possible for it flood one side of town and not put a drop of water in the creek next to the jumps......:skep:
I look at these pics and it's hard to believe there used to be all that moist dirt.....it will be wet again I think:confused:

it's crazy.....a kiddie pool blew down the ditch one windy day....
it was up against one of the fences....so I left it there.....
it will last longer there than at the trails....

been taking the 5gal jug out to patch things...going good so far....
seems the trick is to water the cracks then sweep dirt over and ride....
