just made some of the landers at my spot bigger/steeper and farther apart, rebuilt a lip, made a berm and roller, ill preop up some pics tommorow for yall
i'd dig, but i have a ridiculous sinus headache, and i don't want to go dig this 5 foot deep bowl in backyard at the moment. maybe later... felony looks dialed though.
Backyard is starting to get the sickness. We can actually do little riding back on the pump side now.
I've ridden a lot of burms, but the first burm on this line is one of the best i've ever hit. You can feel the skin on your face getting sucked off the bones while you rip through it.
We call this the R.C. burm. It is the techness.
Coming into a line with 4 options is the goods.
Supra tech step up roller with options that my boy Singer built in the pitch dark. Stoked as hell on it.
Dig on...

sickest house in gnar cal(PERIOD).
wait, what?zachdank said:
It's my neighbors yard, that can't ride a bike too well, and his 7 year old son. It was this or nothing. My section of yard has jumps ya heard.
I'll take sick burms anyday of the week over flat ground.
Not to mention, this is easily the best dirt i've ever dug in. My shovel sinks in like hot butter.

Amazing.
you know i'm just busting your balls out of jealousy....
Yeah i know. I realy have been a pump track hater for days though. I just couldn't pass up, steping out of my back door to ride after all these years of not having that choice.:biggrin:
Damn, that's just a straight-up track. Waay to big to be called a pump track.
So nice.
So nice.
i'm 'bout to call bovice....
When i get down there in a couple weeks, you better have The Bridge on the River Kwai on Blue Ray, or it will be my hand, your face, my gun your mouth.
nice man. you planning on having lights out there?
I continue to be inspired...
Yeah, we are putting lights out there for sure. Probably not until Spring though. It get's too cold to ride here at night in the winter.
it's gonna be a lean night...
We started building a sick as$ burm jump/ S-burm thingy today. I don't feel like explaining it all right now cuz i didn't eat or drink a single thing today, and i'm pretty much retarded right now. So yeah.
Cecil the trail boss was flippin Brodies at the trails today.

Jake, saw Felony for the first time today, I'm so amped on this place. The double right after the hip looks pretty long for how tall/steep it is. Pshyched to be riding again though, hopefully see you back at Skeleton soon.
Ah yeah. Felony is looking real nice. Between Timmy and Justin, i'm getting daily updates. You guys are killing it.
Been wondering what happened to you. the landing on the hip needs to go up and get steeper. It'll make the hip gap longer and the bowl for the next jump shorter. the next take-off needs at least 6" off the top if not a foot.
It'll be sick when it's done.
Okay, priorities, I understand..........First the bad news. I can no longer put pictures of my backyard progress in this thread.lthumbsdown:
Now the good news. When the backyard is finished, it will be featured in DIRT MAG.
but could you please clarify/explain those last berm photos? Are you diverging into two lines, with the berm getting lippy and tossing you left across the path of the straight lip, with the new dirt on the left being the beginnings of a landing?....
And congrats on the D-M recognition, that is pretty cool!
sell out...
Those last pictures are of our other trails, and i will still be posting pics of them, just not my backyard.
And the lip in the pic is a continuation of a new line, there is no landing built yet. There was already a burm there for the old line, and we had to take out a section of it to make the lip for the new line.
So that is why we made it into a burm transfer jump, to continue the old line. It just made it way more tech.
How else am i supposed to eat out?
Haha.....beat me to it.
Zachy signed an 'exclusive rights' agreement on his own back yard!!
Tell sven you want some shots of you lounging in a kiddy pool drinkin 40s as you discuss the meaning of dirt.
Someone's going to have to get the article up on the webs for me to look at.
Good idea. If they only made 40's of PBR.
Buy a mag you cheap bastad.
plus, i've seen better looking trannys down on the boulevard...
How much did that cost ya?
Doh!!! What the fyck? Ain't you handlin that $hit?
WHAT?!? If you're joking, that's hella funny. Those things got me through college. Friday nights meant 4 chilli-dogs and 2 PBR 40's. The grocery store next to my house sold them for like half the price of the other 40's. Any time someone sent me on a beer run, I'd come back with a box of 'em.
If you weren't joking, I'm sorry man.
Where i live they don't sell em in 40's. We drink the tall boys all the time, but they are only 24 oz's.
