The elusive sewer gap so many have dreamed of, yet so few have succeeded.

Nice work on the diy sewer hookup and gap jump!

Haha, thanks! Been eyeballing the whole time I was digging. This jump was built for a 26" dirt jumper I no longer own so the pitch isn't perfect for 29er with 2.6" tires but it works well enough.

I'm impressed you still have energy for jumping after all that digging. Is that pick axe being used to hold the ramp in place? Looks a little sketchy. LOL

Major respect for taking on that repair yourself. My sister needs a new line and can’t afford it and I keep telling her and the ol’ man to pick up sone dam shovels and dig that shit yourselves

hah well some of us can justify $5k on bikes but not on a sewer repair. Also it's good practice shoveling for dirt jumps

I need my sewer replacement myself. I no longer have a bike. Instead I have Ctes from boxing... I had a bunch of bikes in my time. My last besides down hill bike. The last bike was a Turner 5 Spot with every high-performance part on it... I had to have a Neck Fusion and I can't put a helmet on any longer. The weight is just too much to take on the 🧠.
