Is this a personal experience thing? Did you just find out about the third brake?
The same idiot that thinks an omniscient, omnipotent being created you and gets mad about your sexuality.
Assuming you plug it into the same receptacle or one that is on the same phase, nothing happens. Stupid for sure, don't do that, but it's already wired that way in the wall, you aren't short circuiting anything with a cable like that (also assuming you didn't mix up the neutral/hot wires when you made the cable). USA outlets at least. I don't know about the rest of the world.
Damn, only half a billion dollars you didn't have before. Might as well not even bother.
What do you do when it's raining? I've been swimming and using the rock climbing wall, but I'm really missing the trail rides. How do you keep busy?

I'm so stoked on this jump right now. I crashed on my 3rd attempt. This was the redemption run.
Hear me out. Dirt jumpers are great, but I find them too squirrely for some of the bigger hits. I wanted something fast, fun, and capable on jumps but not too small or unwieldy.
Enter: the Trail Jumper. Take an aggressive hardtail (Nukeproof Scout, Kona Honzo, Commencal Meta HT, etc.) and slam the seat, remove the dropper, convert it to single speed, pump up the fork a little, and run some faster tires (not pictured but I have tan-wall Rekons on it now and they are kick ass). I dropped the stem a little lower for more leverage, and pumped up the tires +7psi for better sidewall stability.
I like the bigger tires, especially with the sandy soil we have here in NC. Plus having a front brake is crucial for last minute bail outs or if you want to shred urban. It's maneuverable enough for some tricking, but not so twitchy as a 26" DJ or 20" BMX. Added bonus, since I kept a few cogs from my cassette on here and use a tensioner that fits the derailleur hanger, I can quickly switch to "trail mode" for some of the flatter trails here.
I feel like I'm yelling into the void here, but why not right? Anyway, I went on my lunch break and moved the lander back on this big double so you don't need mach speed to clear it. Previously it required loads of pedalling to clear it, so hopefully it will be closer to trail speed now with the update. Video to come once it's dry enough to actually ride.
Take off
Landing
No one else was maintaining this spot so I decided to grab a shovel and fix it up. Progress so far:
- Re-faced a few jumps
- Fixed drainage problems in a berm
- Cleared out vegetation on a gap and working on sizing the lander appropriately for the speed
- Added some dirt to a roller set to make it more fun to rip
