Project EARTHWORM WAKEUP, 1st communication

With a promising January/February snow fall report from the greater Lake Tahoe area, a small band of adamant earth movers had produced a false sense of security for the larger earthworm population in the sierra foothills. Complacent they had grown. An atypical March precipitation total has lit a fire under the collective asses of this band, and it was decided that the current earthworm mindset simply would not do. These little squigglies needed to be reminded of their place.

With a small front end loader stashed in the trunk, this band headed seaward in their rented pinto with one thing on their minds. Total earthworm consciousness.

We met some dude throwing tailwhips on a razor scooter at the 7-11 while slamming 40s.......said he knew how to build piles with some equipment. We took him in.



We came in from the top, the bottom. We genuinely fvcked sh1t up in worm town.























Who's your daddy now b!tch!!!!?????





Short term projections for current project: Two weeks.


Long term potential for further earthworm universe domination: Currently Endless

It's not a Razor scooter. It's called a noodle, and i don't go anywhere with out my noodle.
Those jumps make my nipples itch.

Nah, that place will blow. I'm going to rip the tractor for the next 8 hours. bye bye.:wave:
You best throw some steez on that b!tch... tractor flip.

Hey, have you seen this footage from Hidden before it got plowed? JD throws some nasty whips and also takes one of the most vicious slams I've ever seen. Sorry for the thread jackage, woo, but I wasn't sure where else to post this...

Those jumps suck for noodling

Amazing.

I know operating that Cat skid is a lot more fun than taking photos, but if you can keep us updated with the pics I would love to see how the build progresses.

About the WD-40 is that used to keep the dirt from sticking to the bucket/shovels? I saw a worker doing that recently while digging a trench - I haven't tried it yet but might bring some to the trails one of these days.

Yup.

It's about the only thing we've found that works worth a damn. Just the shovels though. No way in hell I'm coating a front end loader with that much chemical crap.

I just got the big tin because I'm sick of buying the cans with a propellant. Just dump the stuff in a spray bottle.

Heh. I'm flattered.


I don't think I'll biking for a while. At least until this place is ready to go.


But yeah.......more to come.........always.

Just want to say that zach is the fvcking man!

He's been busting his ass on this place in the machine all week while the rest of us have been working. He's got poison oak so bad he can't sleep, took enough steroids to kill rocky, puked his guts out for hours due to said steroids, got no more than 4 hours sleep on any given night (and that 4 hrs is probably an overstatement), and STILL showed up almost daily to get this beyotch done while we still had the tractor.

I owe this punk huge.

Spotted owls are what keeps Blackrock from being logged. Without the tree-huggers using the owls to try and preserve what little real forest we have left, the area would probably be closed to bikes and all the jumps flattened. No more trails.
Be careful what you wish for.
