Last I checked, you can't do both at the same time.

Back on topic...

A few pics of today diggin'...

Gotta have the shovel shot:


Gotta love dumpster diving. Got us a free chair a few weeks back:


Went dumpster diving again and got this hella sweet packer roller thing!:


Making the mainline wider...looks like trash now but i'll get more pics as it progress:


Widened 2nd lander. Looks ok but not too hot. The tarps keep the water out of the middle since the line is underground a bit...:


Here's ulgy fat me:


And again...:



Jumps look terrible in the pictures. Give me a few more weeks to get them lookin' flyyyyy.

i'd take a picture of my trails but..
a) only one and half jumps is complete
b) the one completed jump is in the middle because i have no idea what i want to do to the first one till i figure out how ridiculous it is
c) even if i did take a picture you wouldnt be able to see the jump because it doesnt go above ground level

eventually i'll take a video.

its a 1.5 foot take off with about a.....10-14 foot gap. im actually not exagerating at all on this one.
the next jump after it is going to be a 5 foot tall take off with a 7ish foot gap, then another 3 of those, then a hip going into the mainline.

no idea what to do for the first jump though

Mude...i've told you before definatley go with the steep as hell 4-5 foot take off with a really steep lander and like 10ish gap. It'll be crazy.
And weren't you going to hip your line into my line and not the mainline?

great pics! looks like a blast. (the potential for riding, not digging)

put that chair back...you don't know where it has been. yuck, might be from a nursing home where someone pissed themselves.

we threw out a few chairs contaminated with bodily fluids at our clinic once. there is probably like Hep B in the foam.

I found an old Honda minibike that was thrown out once, all I needed to do for it was clean the carb and new plug/wire, fuel lines, and clean the filter. Ran for quite a while to.

This brings back memorys of 6 foot deep holes in your backyard. And hella tight berms out of rollin's that are made out of rotting log piles.

MX_59 - We found the chair in a dumpster across the street from the jumps. The people were throwing it out because their house is under crazy construction. It's clean...enough.

I am really impressed with the snag of the roller. Those things can cost $100 new.

Excellent looking jumps by the way, you should be pleased.

Premium that new jump is lookin' good.

How big is it? 15 feetish?

I just started the third takeoff in my new line today, i'll put up pictures once it's packed and shaped properly and the rest of the line doesn't look like poo.

Looks like a fun jump, steep landers are where it's at.
