they need love, grass has taken them over.
concerning the berm, im just going to move it so the exit is just on my side of property line.

got lucky...neighbor was grading his property so after he was done he came over and moved the remainder of the dirt that i wanted to use to finish up table 2. now it just needs shaped/packed.
also put some dirt on table 1 to rehab it.
one good day of shaping with some help and it will be ready to session.
no more than 2ft over, if that, i was pretty bummed as i had dirt, people, and motivation to have the berm built that day.
the most progress has been on the pics posted above when jason came over to help. my buddy chuck was there the day the neighbor moved the dirt for me and we have a good rough shape now, it just needs shaped/packed.
the foot is good, can ride with no problem. i have some residual soreness in the morning when i wake up or after long drives (prolonged stillness), but i don't experience any discomfort when i ride. the big litmus test was DH'ing at seven springs and hitting some jumps at DH speeds.
how far from surry are you?
i've been talking to some cats off of cyclingcentralva.org and its looking like sometime in december i'm gonna have a work/ride/drink/cook type dealio...

you've got good eyes. it is a perfect mixture of clay and dirt and soooo easy to shape. i need to get a new tamper as mine was broken during trail building last year.
my buddy jason came over sunday and we built another berm and worked on an entrance to berm #2
falling left looking down slope from behind the berm

where are you living now? I'm still down here in Roanoke.... my local trails (carvins cove) just got toasted over 4000 acres burnt... I have no idea when they'll allow the public back in there either... no fun...

Is that sprocket I see? Good boy.....
it sure is.
how the hell have you been anyways, christ i've not talked to you in forever.
a couple of cats (chuck and jason) want to do dark mtn (burn24) again...you down?
also, you need to carry yo a$$ out this way to check out the trail.
gonna build some more TTF shizzle.
ive got a couple of cable spools (2 different diameters) that i'm going to link together and make a roller coaster type thing out of. i puked out a quick word.doc scribble to show what it might look like

That just looks like lop-sided boobs to me. 'Course, just about everything is boob related.
Glad to hear the foot ended up ok.
I'm doing Camp Hilbert Endurance this weekend. I have a lot of plans for races and traveling out of town with the girlie, so I would be down with the 24hr again as long as the date cooperates.
I know you keep inviting and I haven't made it yet, but you gotta let me know about the next BBQ.

Stuff is starting to look good, Adam. Next time I head to the beach I will stop by.
thanks and man you are welcome to come down any time. i dont think ive seen you since the 05 ye haa when i broke my hand.
i was talking to castle the other day and was thinking it'd be cool to have a va/md/nc (wherever) mini monkey fest to christen the trail once i get the additional features built.
i probably going to have another dump truck of dirt brought in for the rest of the berms/jumps i want to build.

Can we use a mini bob cat this time?
actually my neighbor has one. granted i've never talked to him but perhaps if i ask him if he'd like to make some money...
wait that might not sound right.
seriously though, i want to finish the 3rd table which is going to require quite a bit of dirt so yes a bobcat could be in order!
sorry i don't remember the screen name...refresh my memory (quite a few people have been over in the past 2 years) so i'm not making the connection!
