from the clay you were born

and to the clay you shall return....
1909 has been an exercise in letting go of nostalgic attachments. First the Honda, now, the very first jump I built at Birdland. Yesterday, I tore down the "jump into the first turn", which was the very first jump I built out there. It was a fairly big gap but really a non-jump. It messed with a lot of people. I built the berm bigger and and built a big, mellow roller going into it. Maybe we can scrub it. Or maybe it will just fuck everyone up. Either way, it's prolly gonna be a few months before we find out. I was hoping that I would get another session in this week, but today's rain laid a wet blanket on that idea. In the interim, I have MC projects going down.
