More like toss dirt when I get there and then ride on said tossed dirt.Tattooo said:
Where are you riding dh?
I can be there no later than noon I'm sure. We'll chat then.crapacity said:
Per the blessing of the man, we are going to start working on a new line down from the top section, over the road gap, and then back into the easier left hand line to make a top to bottom run mortals can do. Should start this week or next. Crap and I will be digging, could use some help.
Yeah good luck with your piles of sand and stuff.Tattooo said:
Maybe this week will be kind with regards to precip.
Tree? What tree? Who you been talkin to?Tattooo said:
You'll appreciate the sunlight when you see the puddles that form there.
I'm curious to see what you got in mind.
Know the top section? Ok, as you come down and you're making the straight line over the two sets of doubles, there is a table at the top of that section. Talked it over with Saw, we're going to run it off of that table, over the natural hip, down the side, do a couple of flow turns and such, a smaller road gap that mortals can clear without rocket assist, a bowl berm in that section to the downhill side of the road gap, back across into the beginner line, and then we're going to build down straight after the roller to table top where the boards are now. We're gonna clean that up, take it into the back berm, and then work down the gully from there, hooking back up at the bottom with the main line.
Any rain down there?
I'm down with anything new.Tattooo said:
I also want to stick a short wallride in jump/berm number two on the track as another option. It should be pretty easy to do.
Sold the 66.
Just a word of advice......don't use any of the sandy stuff that sits on the top in any of your piles. Even when wet that stuff won't pack, just toss it to the side. And believe it or not you are going to hit a clay layer that's pretty much undiggable at some point. Hard to believe but it's there. You might get a few feet of good dirt before you hit it though.
I went in today, lined out with grass flags what it is that I want to do.
A whole new top half after you come out of the berms up top, runs down the land off to the right, uses natural stuff, Crapacity liked it.
Then if you go through the jumps that run to the left hand side of the beginner run (to the left of the step up that the BMX kids "redid") over the table, over the next table, over the double and down through the berm that's there, I ran a section with flags all the way down the gully line that meets with the step down section of the bottom of the main line.
I am going to run it by Saw about using a walk behind plow deal to do the major work (because it is a lot of work) then do all the shaping by hand once it rains up there. Hopefully he will go for it because due to moving to VA I want to have this down, shaped and ready to rock by the end of December.

Once the ground gets wet I'm down there every weekend all weekend digging. That's what I do during winter.Tattooo said:
I've spent hundreds of hours digging down there and plan on spending hundreds more so yeah, I'll definitely help you. Reno better get some rain by then.......
But you have to tell me what a walk behind bobcat is.
You're not talking about a rototiller are you?This is the instrument of our liberation, the day is at hand my children.

Did it rain over the weekend here? Over the pass it was wet and nasty this weekend, wondering if any of it got to Sandy's.
When do we want to get the mini-bobcat? We're going to need a trailer and a truck to do the job with, the Toyota isn't going to cut it supposedly. Any ideas?
