Back at it again with rain soaked clay.....
Decided to undertake a quick project or two today (for once Embarassed )
At the back of the big berm we are getting all of the runoff from the pumptrack.

And it ain't pretty.

And all of this water flows right through the area where new jumps will soon be going up! Crying or Very sad

So Joe and I created a diversion dam and spillway off to the side.

And planted chunked up grass on it

It spills off into the woods, rather than into the future jump farm!


The local kids also would not stop complaining about the second small jump so we made the landing taller....

but now all the complainers hate it because they have to learn how to nose in!
Oh well we'll make it longer soon enough....
I stayed late into the night shoveling on our next installment(stay tuned)
untill I was chased out by the Police at about 11pm!

Danny 2
Johnathan 2 (have fun in the DR, See you in the fall!)

AWESOME STUFF GUYS.
TELL THE KIDS TO STICK TO THE MIDDLE LINE AND BIG LINE IF THEY LANDINGS ARE TO SMALL ON THE LITTLE LINE.
CONGRATULATE THEM ON OUTGROWING IT OR TELL THEM TO PRACTICE SCRUBS!
