Niiiiice!


How's that dirt holding up for you? It looks a dusty/sandy, am I right? If so what are you doing to hold it together.

Nah, the dirt is perfect. It is Norcals finest farm soil. It holds together perfect. You just have to pack it good. We are in middle of building still, so everything isn't fully tamped yet. It also hasn't rained here in 5 weeks, so it gets dry, but it just started raining today.

your friend just randomly offered to let you build jumps on his property and to provide some of the nicest dirt and access to heavy machinery. that sounds like luck to me.
I have been building and searching for places to build DJ's in every nook and cranny for years. Not just once in a while, but everyday. Homeboy offered me his property because he knows what i have built, and how dedicated i am to the cause. Like i said, luck has nothing to do with it. If you put in the same effort as me, for the same amount of time, you would have a spot just as sick. Fortunate is a good way of looking at it.

Our drop in cost about $500. The welding was free though.

Damn that's nice, but I should have known it was good soil, you're on a freakin apple orchard. :lighten:

That hip is rad. Looks like it is to your natural way. There's got to be some guys that are opposite that will be freaked by that thing.

That's why you build multiple hips in a row in alternating directions.........to get over that nonsense:D
Word. I do them both ways. In fact, I kinda like going my unnatural way. I'm just sayin.... not everybody has my steez. :biggrin: And a hip that big, to your opposite way, can be intimidating.

Actually, a hip that big, no matter which way you like to go, can be intimidating... that shight is core. :thumb:

I just said that because we built a hip line with 5 jumps that alternate.......mainly for that very reason. They're about the same size as the one zach's got going on and having that line has definitely made an equal opportunity hipper out of the few of us that ride it.

Some of our homies came over for a Norcal throwdown. The Farm is on hit right now. We still have a ton of work to do in the next month. We are working on the first curved wallride right now.

This on is mind boggling, did you turn the landing of the hip into a spine?

I know you're launching from the Hip take off, but the tracks up the landing is what's throwing it all off.

Wow. That is some serious disrespect to one of the sickest riders out there. Randy is also one of the nicest pros out there too. That guy gets more respect from riders than anyone.
