Went for a spot of learning with Jedi Thursday & Friday, this is a new line he’s made.

So, would you give it a whirl? I would, but, my collarbone isnt really healed enough…😉
Can you even work out how it works? I have to say, even stood in front of it, I got it wrong first time…
No? Here’s the man himself doing it (not my video)

Mental. That top ladder is a good 20 foot in the air…
I'm currently a XC air-averse wuss and I'm pretty sure I'd be OK riding that, simply because I can see how it works and there doesn't seem like much that you can do wrong. It's a mind over matter feature, which is fine with me. Most of the other stuff that jedi has is a nope from me though.
It's more of a seesawawawawawaw
Half my mind says yes; only the top bit is a seesaw, the rest is basically a steep slope. Other half says no; if something goes wrong it's a long way to fall.
I wouldn't even climb the ladder! It's an impressive structure though.
It didn't work properly when I test rode it as you can see. It works beautifully now. It's the end of a line we built in memory of a friend who used to ride there
C,mon Tony, lets see another video then 🙂
A fitting tribute if your friend was anything like you 🙂
Do you still teach stuff like corners and bunny-hops, I need a big old refresher course since that Bikemagic day all those years ago.
And doubles and steep faced jumps and...
That's really cool 👌
oldnick yes of course
Owen would have loved this line.
That's brilliant! Yeah, I'd probably ride it. Or a half height version...
No chance. I don’t believe corroded has looked at how the lowest saw sends jedi into a drop off, at speed, which means even he gets put off his line into the berm. But hey, it’s nice to kid yerself 😉
A work of art.
It's a wonderful piece of engineering but... nope.

Neither did tthew. I would like to retract my earlier statement.
Why? What is it trying to achieve?
You wouldn't get me up on top of that even without a bike.
A fun tribute to my brother who died recently. Feels like a good enough reason to me.

Think he’d struggle with the run in, too.
Big hairy dangly ones. That's bonkers.
That line is phenomenal! Impressive piece of engineering to make that work…
Haha, quite an imaginative structure. Good work, looks a bit sketchy for me I reckon.
superficial lol 😆
I'll be booking on again Tony, that though looks a little rich for me 🙂
Good to see the place thriving still 👍
That is superb (no way I'd ride it you'd be scraping me off the floor before I got to it - or more likely running away quite fast the other way).
Jesus, nothing gives me the fear like woodwork. It's a no from me. Seriously cool tho, skillzzz
Did you get the idea from Slocan Tony?
I saw an old nexus video 15yrs ago and saw something like 3 seesaws thT linked.i been wanting to build it since then
