Found these while looking for a place to build.

Any tips on bringing this place back. Particularly removing the grass. I don't want to kill the flow of the jumps since I don't know who built them or how long they have been abandoned but it appears 2 years or more.

I plan on resurrecting them to their previous glory and then building it how I want.

Gotta build a line for my sons too

Get a flat shovel out and just start scraping off all of the grass and any of the silty soils that may have accumulated in the flatbottom. You'll then need to surface it all with some new clay. If you remove a lot of silts from between the jumps you may need to add some clay (an inch or two) there as well. Don't use any top soil on any of the riding surfaces. Take a look at the various threads on here to see what your finished product should look like. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.

Looks like an awesome place to build jumps. Do exactly what trust 4130 said and your going to want to maybe add more dirt to the bottom of the lips to there is more of a transition to them. One thing I can't stand seeing are great jumps with flat take offs because some one destroyed them.

ive had to to this is a field of grass above my head(not kiddign either) it took 2 weeks to clear one line and all i did was get under the grass with a flat shovel and rip it up. i didnt have to resurface too much because the grass held it all in place. It might not be as much work as u think

Hopefully that place has water near by as you will need it.

Thanks for the advice and there is water close by.

I'll post some new pics once I get the first line rideable.
