I started a new project 6 days ago. My buddy asked me if i wanted to build a massive jump farm in his orchards. He said we could have permanent access to a backhoe to build. I told him that i would have to think about it, and then 2 seconds later, i said ok. The picture only show about a fourth of what we are going to build. The start will be a 12 feet tall, 20 feet long steel platform, that drops 6 feet into a 6 feet tall dirt landing, that goes into the first set. The platform will be done tomorrow.

[Zach Dank]

Norcals finest farm soil.

 

[Changleen]

Those are some extremely pretty jumps.

 

[PatBranch]

Good job! When are you coming to my house?

 

[Cru Jones]

Holy sh!t Zach. That is going to be freakin rad. Access to water and everything. I'm soooo jealous. From the pics I've seen... looks like you build some quality jumps. Rock on.

 

[Stoked]

[Bicyclist]

Holy chit man. Those are incredible.

 

[Chip Henderson]

It's 25 degrees in Chicago, and the ground is covered in snow and ice.

2 seconds?! I would have commited at "Do you..."

Stuff looks great - I like the berms and side line and everything looks perfectly sculpted. Must be nice to have the backhoe and equipment.

That last hip is loony!

 

[Zach Dank]

Must be nice to have the backhoe and equipment.

It is a dream come true to have a backhoe, but anyone who knows me will tell you that i have earned it. I have moved a lot of dirt by hand. I have literaly spent thousands of hours with a shuvel over the last few years. Some random stuff i've built over the last few years, by shuvel.

 

[don]

O yeah, I figured you have had a lot of shovel time with the pics I've seen - I'm just jealous .

And there still is the time of shaping and packing which is a lot. Not to mention the skill. You certainly don't get sets in the pics above the first time.

I still drool over that red dirt line through the scrub pines everytime I see it. Makes me want the weather to break so I can earn my callouses back.

 

[Boxxer]

Purdy Dirt!

 

[ServeEm]

That's so damn killer! If that's just a quarter of what's to come it's going to be a DJ Disneyland. Congrats on the score.

 

[Cru Jones]

Are we going to see a Joe's Jump Farm Jam??? Similar to Cowan's Jam??? That would be rad.

 

[Castle]

[SirChomps-a-Lot]

did you say 6 days ago?

I guess on the 7th day, you rest.

Seriously, you should get a government grant because your jumps are art.
