Bowled down deep after the wall. I decided i wanted to make a step down double bowl for something different. I'm trying to make every jump different than the one before it. The next lip is about seven feet tall. The gap is about eight feet, with a five feet step up. After the step up landing will be the wall ride against the barn. Should be ripping fun, and we will be hitting it by tomorrow.

Is it going to be a pond jump or something (sarcastic)? Whats the drainage going to look like ?
We got a total of about 3 weeks of rain this whole winter. Not realy an issue. We have access to a pool pump when we need it. On a regular winter the farm might be shut down for about 2 months at the most.

Good to here. Honestly, one of the main reasons i post here, is in hope that other heads will get fired up, and start some sick trails. Anyone who has got the motivation is capable of building insane trails.
I hope one day that there are trails like these every where.

That would be so fun to shoot there. Most of it is a little big for me :D.

You guys have such good ideas. It all fits together and flows so well.

Place is looking sick! I can't wait to see some vid of you guys riding that. Definitely getting the digging bug - not sure if we'll have stuff that sick but we'll be building more berms and hips rather than straight sets.

WTF??? Zach, you are one sick individual. Props.
Who'd you get to roll your tubing? They did a nice job. Being a former fab shop/4x4 shop owner, I've been pushing steel stuff around here, but no one's diggin it. Seems like more than the dirt itself, you have some really sweet hookups. AND some really dedicated bros. You guys picking up the tab on all this, or getting some help? I'm hoping you're getting some help and that it sticks around for awhile!
Pat yourselves on the back for me!

A few more days of digging, and we can hang up the shuvels and just ride untill next winter.
We had a ripping session today. Countless tailwhips, 360's, cork flips, supermans, no foot cans, barspins, and what ever else you can think of. It seems we successfuly made DJ heaven a reality. Now go build your own, and we can share.:twitch:

My two sporting heroes these days are Zack (and crew of course) and Georges St. Pierre. I think I know who'd win if they duked it out but with a set of trails like that the Jump Farm crew would probably have a higher "rad" ranking.

Amazing pictures... As always. You guys continue to step it up just like on the STINC. Keep up the good work.

By the way, I have the same boots as that guy.

The flow is rediculously retarded sick.
I just got home from a full day of riding at the Farm. I didn't snap any pics, but i got some insane footy. Listen to the line my homie Andrew pulled. X-up the drop in, no foot can the first dub, stretched out superman the second dub, table the hip, tailwhip the fourth, to wallride, to corked backflip the fifth.
It might have been the sickest line i have ever seen done on a mountainbike. Unbelievable.
Video soon to come...

the superman in the pic is beautifully executed.
the jumps are nice like it doesn't even have to be said.

Talked to Spangler for a bit at the Otter, he had nothing but good things to say about the Farm, Zach, and the rest of the crew.

And his x-ups at the Furry Fury were sporting mad style.

:D

Well, we finished building today. Started 3 months ago with a vision, and turned it into reality. The Farm is the sickest DJ spot i have ever been to. Mission accomplished. We celebrated with expensive champagne.
We just have to get our lighting up for the night sessions. We installed a fridge yesterday. It is packed full of PBR, and it will stay that way. :cheers:

My hommies at Transition topped the day off with a cherry on top, by sending me a Double to the Farm to throw down on.
