Georgetown has some nice trails but they are trails-style trails. No tables except for the starter; all doubles built trail style -- short but kinda tall.
Lonestar are like trails, but they also double as a public toilet, so beware.

i think so... blockhouse has stuff for everyone... we havent hit the big gap yet or the two gaps off the side so we cant "move on" quite yet...
ill have my mtbike back soon...dont have time to get to San antonio this week with finals...maybe james will bring it here sunday if he comes...
i say blockhouse sunday... and if we want to go hit ninth or something else too then cool... but i think there is still plenty to play on and teach on out there... and im pumped more people are getting into this

lamar?? where?
lonestar is several gaps in a line and that it... they are trail style...
Just got done with ninth and the skate park. shit its windy out there. pulled my first smooth roll back and started to sproket grind. shit that e13 is fast. fun times. At one point there were all three factions out there: skater, BMXer and 26"er all riding in harmony :p met some cat from NC hopefully he will be posting up soon.

sweet...did you hit anything at 9th? which lines? I still need to go out there with my new bike...and now that I have a little experience...
anyway....what were you grinding....the boxes or the rails? easy...hard?

i break my arm and now you guys start riding!;) more people to rip up the park with...cool. so hows the fakie and pedal grinds going crash tested?
by the way; there are 2 sets in georgetown and another set off the access road on southbound 35 between parmer and braker. ill take you guys out there sometime.
I pulled the fakie smooth only once, so more practice is on order. I didn't try the grind until I really had to leave so I only got one shot at it. Went for about 4' then it fell apart, so more pratice is on order. I was trying the grind on the taller box. My BB is to tall to be able to grind on the shorter one. Rails will come another day. The park was a blast and I would definitely like to hit one of the bigger parks soon. The Launches excel at street, park and DJ. I just need a set of trail tires now cause they fail horribly at that.

those boxes are awesome to grind on. angle iron + evil bashguard = smoooooooth.
the cool setup is that wedge to box, with the other box leaned up on top of the other and grinding down the angled box. i think we set it up like that, when i rode with you guys.
Its still set up like that too. I just want to get it down on the level box first but I did go over it in my head.
