Be Skinny, Live FAT...

I got the first of many NEW ladder bridges finished and installed in the Backyard Skills Trail over the weekend. The previous bridge at this location was the first one built about four years ago, and had broken last week due to age (and The Manimal being so beastly riding it). Just kidding on The Manimal part, but he did ride [it] more than any of you jerks.
So, here she is. A little wider, a little less steep but solid. The leaves off to the side give the illusion of safety, however it's a good two foot drop to a pile of random, leg-crunching rocks below. Just keeping it real.
In the photo below you can see a few of the other features we've got in the yard; The Log Skinny, Long Ladder Bridge and Ghetto Teeter. I really want to pimp this place out, get some new stuff built and some pumpish features to keep the flow. Winter is here. Time to build trail!

Casey MuthaTruckin' Ryback! Get your STL A$$ over here and get hurt. Dude, I told you a good wrist snapping is always in order when you jorks are in KC. We've got room for the whole Seagal posse to tent-up, campfire and all-night skills riding. Not to mention there are mtn bike trails a minutes ride from my yard...
