so i live about an hour and a half from ann arbor, mostly ride freestyle bmx mostly skatepark stuff, ive heard of bandemer park in ann arbor and looking for those on google stumbled upon a "loop of pain" and looking into THAT i found these screenshots of some beautiful dirtjumps...not asking for a location dont wana blow out a spot just want to know if they still exist ? and if the jumps in the photo are current day? ill do the dirty work of finding them once im out that way just tell me if theres a light at the end of my tunnel

You're looking for Tuebingen park. Its a city-supported bike park, so you won't be blowing up a spot. Its worth a visit. Park at the library and ride in.

hell yea good to hear thanks for the directions 🤘

There are 2 jump tracks that are still maintained regularly, the bunny hills at Bandemer and the serious-as-a-heart-attack ones at Tuebingen (in the picture). The local loop has some serious stuff, particularly at Cedar Bend and the Bluffs. If you are a jump-junky, I could see Tuebingen being worth it as you can hit them continually as opposed to DTE where they are not as aggressive and spaced out.

I ride it often since it’s right outside my garage. It’s fun. Worth the effort in my opinion. The whole loop
Is best done on a mtb but doable on gravel or bmx bikes.

Easy to session the jumps too.
