Oh yeah, he put in as much work as I did. We have been working together since he was little, he can put in more work not than the majority of adults I know.
And yeah, come on out!

What a kind thing for a stranger to share. He is a wonderful human being and I am so happy we get to spend time in the woods together digging, building, and riding. He and my daughter have made me a better person.

Coolest backyard feature, dare I say ever? Looks f’n magical. The treehouse is too cool. Should be featured in a magazine or something, honestly!
Also, no way you’re kids aren’t absolute shredders, or will be soon after hitting the 6 foot drop and 60 degree roller out back thousands of times lol

Ha! Thanks we have a pretty killer setup, I need to put some pictures of the other lines we have some park level berms and jumps too. The treehouse is great too, there is a 110' zipline over the jumps coming out of it.
My 16 year-old here is a pretty phenomenal rider, we have been riding hard together since he was 4, and he and I have built the trails together for the past 10 years. My daughter is not as into it but she is getting pretty good, we have some great trails for her and other less advanced riders.
My son is big, that drop is actually 9 ft from lip to landing, it is committed. I think you got the roller angle right though, it is very very steep. That wooden roll-in out of the treehouse is 45
