Another good day of work utilizing the Parks wheelbarrow. Such a beautiful sunny day too. T-shirt weather!

Rob, Simon, Andrew - 3.5 hrs work
bearded Brooklyn guy on white SE cruiser - 1 hr
Nick - 1 hr
local Manny - 1.5 hrs

We worked on drainage of the center path and before jump #1 and between #1 and #2.

More or less finished initial build of the Jump#1 medium-size extension. It needs to dry/compress and then get packed in. The lander looks even better than the lip! (no pic of that),
To explain: this secondary jump will be 1 foot lower at lip, deck and landing compared to the current big jump. The lander will be shared with the big jump's lander. The lip will be shallower so that clearing it will not be as hard. The deck will be kept perfectly tabled so that cases, rolls and manuals will be easier, safer and less damaging to the integrity of the jump. It will be much more do-able for those riding FS bikes.
The intention here is to make a more novice and intermediate-friendly jump that is still properly-built and has flow into the rest of the line.

Added lots of dirt to a pile for the new Jump #2 medium-size extension. I would say we have about 60% of the dirt needed for this new feature.

More dirt thrown on the roll-in, adding to what we did yesterday.
